  • There is nowhere more notorious in Buenos Aires than "Villa 31", the infamous shantytown/favela that was built right in the heart of the city. It lies right in between the Retiro bus and train stations, the largest transport hub of the capital. It's known for being a haven for criminals and all sorts of other dangers. But it was also the home of many immigrants from Argentina's neighbors - Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay in particular. My original plan had been to go to the station and take a train to the north, but seeing Villa 31 just outside, I decided to take a little walk there and see if it was as bad as they say.

    Dude, you just gained a new subscriber, just for having the balls to wave around a camera while filming inside Villa 31. Like many people said, it's not the most dangerous villa but it is the most famous just for being located where it is. I remember when I first saw it going on the highway right next to/above it, I was in awe. I moved to Argentina in 2009 after growing up in the states, South Florida specifically. I currently live in San Isidro close to one of the most famous villas of the northern zone of Buenos Aires, it's called La Cava, this isn't me recommending you to visit it though lol. It's nice to see you explore this country, hope you stay safe and have a good time!

      @@muhammad3283 I don't know what is "economic" for you, but you can try in neighbourhoods like Boedo, Almagro, Parque Chacabuco, Villa Crespo, San Telmo, Caballito, Villa Urquiza, Parque Chas, Floresta... During the night you have to be a bit careful, especially in San Telmo, but in general that areas are fine and are not so expensive like other neighbourhoods where a lot of foreigners from first world countries go to live, like some parts of the city center or Palermo, Recoleta, Belgrano, Núñez, Puerto Madero, Colegiales, Coghlan...
      And this talking about the city of Buenos Aires, because also there is the metropolitan area that surrounds the main city and is conformed by tens of satellite cities, and is bigger that the Buenos Aires city itself by far (12 M people vs 3 M people). The metropolitan area as a whole is poorer and more dangerous than the city of Buenos Aires, but is giant, therefore can change a lot between different areas in each city, in fact some places are safer than anyone in the city of Buenos Aires, and others are worst.

    I’m from Brazil and the term suburbs or Subúrbios is the opposite of the United States one. Suburbano is a lower class person. Subúrbio is normally the outskirts of town, the undeveloped, the far and undesirable side. In America, suburban life is a safe, clean, exclusive, privileged type. Does that make sense? By the way, I’m Brazilian suburban! Proud and happy about it! So much humanity where I came from! The less you have, the more you share!

    Buen video. Igual quisiera aclarar para los extranjeros que la villa 31 es la más conocida por ser la más habitada del país (hay un estimado de entre 80 mil y 100 mil personas) no por ser la más peligrosa. Aún así el lugar es peligroso porque tiene muchos narcos y bandas etc. La cuestión es que el contraste es muy grande porque el resto del barrio de Retiro es uno de los más caros de la ciudad y tiene edificios icónicos (Kavannagh por ej,). Por otro lado, el youtuber (bastante pillo) cuando le dijeron que tenga cuidado con el celu se mantuvo caminando por la parte comercial de la villa y después se fue, de haberse adentrado en el barrio y en los pasillos otra sería la historia. Solo mostró la parte más segura y transitada.

    I lived in Argentina before. The government adopts a "dog friendly" policy. Owners don't abandon their dogs, they just let them roam freely and they come back home later. Those dogs don't attack people, and they even know how to cross the street and follow traffic lights. Those dogs don't bother people. The only dog that is not allowed to roam free by law are the Argentine doggo.

    I lived in Cusco PE for 3 years, that style of food is called Chifa(Chinese Peruvian food) and they have those restaurants on nearly every street corner. It is very basic, and I always thought American Chinese food was a bit better. But when I got back to the states I missed it, it is cleaner and less greasy than American Chinese food. Peru also has a significant population of Asian-Peruvians living in Lima and a very popular former president was Japanese Peruvian.

    I've live in Buenos Aires most of my life and I've never seen a stray dog, much less a whole pack. If you see a dog wondering the streets alone it's probably lost, specially if it's wearing a collar. In those situations you should check for the owners phone in the tag if there's one or take the dog to the nearest vet shop (there's one every two blocks). If you notice behind of you there were at least two guys that showed some kind of concern for the poor dog, because it's not a common scene to see. Sadly, nobody took real action and tried to find the dog's owner.

They didn’t bother the people who lived there, and they kind of looked after the kids (when we were playing soccer in the street). They were fed by everyone in the 2 or 3 blocks they considered their territory and we all loved them. However, because of the living on the streets, health issues and accidents were the norm, so mostly they didn’t survive more than a couple years.
