Great content. I just made the move from USA to Argentina. I enjoy Buenos Aires but I'm highly considering moving to Córdoba or Mendoza. The biggest highlights is that those cities have nature and beautiful scenery, whilst Buenos Aires is a huge Metropolis (concrete jungle).
Howdy! I'm also planning to visit Argentina. I'm looking to visit Cordoba because it is a Bavarian heritage community. I was stationed in Nord Bayren 1973-1976.

Buenos Aires has a lot of green spaces and it's plenty of trees on the streets; it has a waterfront to the River Plate and is connected to many little cities and villages to visit and doing many different activities, from cultural to just leisure.
There is almost no cultural clash with the US. The people of Menodoza have roots similar to those of the United States, they are all European immigrants who built that beautiful city

You can go to different cities in Mendoza like San Rafael (200km from Mendoza capital) wich is one of the top places to visit in Argentina, and find amazing oportunities to buy a land for 10 or 15k (200m2)
@@adventurefreaksss I'm from San Rafael, and live abroad now. I am not into Real Estate, but you can find prices everywhere, in facebook the groups are called "clasificados San Rafael", or "La Veloz San Rafael" for example.

The healthcare part is changing right now, due to abuse. If you have an emergency, you will be treated for free. But if you go to the hospital with no residency, the hospital might ask you to pay. This was rolled out by the federal government and each province can or not take it. Salta is the one that already implemented it, as they were overan by Bolivian citizens. If you apply for residency, the temporal one is very easy to get and resolves this.
That's true; along the years, Argentina has been the free hospital, nursery and high school and university for all our fellow neighbours... hundreds of millions US dollars every year, paid for the argentine taxpayers for nothing else that competing for medical attention with foreigners that just come to get it for free and leave. In border provinces with Bolivia, Paraguay (mostly) but also Chile (much more before and less in recent years) there was more foreigners than locals and the limited resources and facilities had to be shared with nothing in exchange; that supposed an unfair situation for argentines which had to be solved somehow; so the federal government did it the right way. Sadly, the argentines who travel to Bolivia have no medical treatment at all, even if is an emergency!!! In the past months, two argentines died (one stabbed by robbers and the other after a motorcycle accident) in front of bolivian doctors, which didn't move a finger to help if they didn't get paid before. Argentina always was an open arms country but many people took advantage of it and didn't give not even thanks for receiving medicines and treatments that costed thousands of US dollars... or even more than that!!! Well... that was the "end of innocence" for us; to know that we didn't get the same we gave to others so, if you have no permanent residency in the country and need medical treatment, you better pay before!!! Emergencies are a different thing; they were and will be for free for any person, no matter his legal condition could be. Regards from Argentina
@@COMPASS_MDP I think a temporal residency works as well. If you enter a hospital with DNI, nobody will ask your origin---might be wrong, but that's what I understand at this time. Another thing foreigners need to understand is that the fact that services are free doesn' t mean it's alright to use them. Regarding healthcare, it's expected that anyone who can afford insurance or has a job will not use the hospitals and leave them for those who really need them or emergencies. Local pensionaires also have a healthcare insurance (bad, but it's there), so hospitals are really for the ones that are in a real rough temporary spot. With exceptions, as some of the best specialists of the country work in hospitals as part of research groups or overlooking undergraduate/graduate medical students.

I was glad to see a program about Mendoza, but was sad to learn that the people you chose to interview have actually very little experience in the area and much of their information was not exactly true. I have been living in Mendoza province for 11 years now, but in the "heart of the wine country" in San Rafael. There is a lot to do here, from camping, hiking, trekking, boating, white water rafting, wine tours, skiing, everything. And it is 50% or more less to live here than the US. I have vineyard and was living on 600 dollars a month including paying 2 employees. Prices have changed over the years, but I still was able to buy a house on a half acre of land for only $25 thousand dollars and I still live on less than $800 a month. the weather is 320 days of sunshine and summer temperatures are 80 to 90 most of the summer with a few heat waves of 95-100 F for a few days. Winters are great, very mild, low of 23 F is a very cold night but the average nightime tempeature is 30 -32 degrees f and daytime temps are 50 to 75 F degrees.
You can do rafting and camping in the rivers of mendoza, hiking in the mountains too! ... check the government office of tourism, they have all the information that you need for free, also the municipality offices too.-
@@adventurefreaksss Also in the winter there are two really big ski/snowboard centers (Las Leñas and Penitentes) for those who love winter sports or just to chill in the snowy mountains drinking and eating something in their resorts.
6:05 Argentina is a huge country close to USA. Even extends north to south far more than USA. International tourist should probably avoid always trips on buses cause even to cross just 2 states (provincias) can take al least 5 hours. If you have to make across 3 or more states forget it its a 12 hours journey. And it goes way bizarre as you go down to south of Argentina you can make 10 hours drive and still be on the same state.
It's been a long time since I was there, but I loved Mendoza! Thanks for this content. Can you comment on the exchange rate situation? I've heard that the "blue rate" is essentially no longer a thing and that the only rate available is the official rate. Is that true? If so, I would imagine that the cost of living in USD has increased significantly because the "blue rate" gave you about 2X the number of Argentine Pesos for each USD as the official rate did. Are those days over?
Just a small correction that everybody makes. The city of Buenos Aires (CABA) has 3.5 million people. The province of Buenos Aires (PABA), has about 15.5 million people. The province is enormous land wise.
Mendoza appears like a nice city for retirement in Argentina. Cost of living seems low. Spanish might be necessary for gringos to be able to negotiate rentals ? Few US expats seem like they want to live there - not sure why it isn't more popular than it is ? Perhaps not enough English speaking locals for some US expats. Rents aren't really the cheapest compared to S E Asia ?
Mendoza is a stunning and affordable option, but its lower popularity among US expats is likely due to Argentina’s volatile economy and its distance from the U.S., especially with closer Latin American options available. Spanish is essential, as rentals often require negotiation, which can be challenging without fluency. While rentals in Southeast Asia are some of the cheapest in the world, great deals can still be found in Mendoza if you’re on the ground and can negotiate in Spanish.
I visited Mendoza and noticed buildings and houses had prison bars in their windows. Similar to BA. They're there to prevent robberies. There are also stories of foreigners getting robbed at gunpoint in cities like BA, Cordoba and Mendoza
@Peter-m5n7m California is one of the safest places in the world. Have u ever heard of Silicon Valley or Newport Beach? Never been robbed. Never even seen a gun!
No Place in South America is really safe, if u are looking for safety then south east Asia is best and cheapest region in the world. I am here ^ years and pretty happy , except hot and humid whole year around , , so I guess no place is perfect lol
That's why we reference the Global Peace Index that ranks countries around the globe each year on safety. Argentina is very safe when compared to many countries including the US. Thanks for sharing!
Norteamérica... In this case USA.. knows almost nothing about wines... I am an enologist from Mendoza with italian french,and Arabian roots... All of them near the mediterránean see... We don't want pirates here..jej
Two corrections: There is a FIFA sancioned Soccer stadium in Mendoza built in 1978 for the world cup. Its unique as its built recessed into the ground like a pit. Their is also a ski town/ resort área called Las Leñas with great ski slopes etc. About 342 kilómeters from Mendoza city.
Things like veggies and electronics are cheaper in Colombia, but wine and meat are extremely expensive. Wines are 5x the price of US / Europe / Argentina and the same goes for meat. The main reason is that they are not wine producers plus transporting the imprted wine from within the country is expensive for geographical reasons. They produce meat but of low quality, so they import it from USA, Argentina and Uruguay.
@@boink800 Every super market in Colombia has a big area dedicated to wines from all the world, there are wineries and wine bars. Colombians love wine, but because of the prices only the middle / high class can afford them.
@@modernclics Colombia has never had the same wine culture as Chile, Uruguay and Argentina. Instead, beer is the main drink. Or on the coast, very good rum.
Correct, but sadly also obvious. The cultural myth of American exceptionalism, combined with the fact that English is far and away the lingua franca of the world now, (most widely spoken Non-Native language) helps discourage many Americans from paying any attention to the world beyond our borders. It is sad and regrettable, but the little bit defensive part of me feels compelled to point out that not all of us are that ignorant. 🫣 Of course, it is generally the more open to learning among us who would even consider perhaps moving abroad. What I am belately learning of Argentina is that you have many similarities to the U.S. but took a different socio-political path about a century ago. Both countries have very friendly but proud people, whom outsiders will quickly label as arrogant, huge territory with impressive natural resources and scenery, rich multicultural heritage with heavy European roots, and biggest cities (NYC/B.A.) that view themselves are the best place in the world to live.
I would love to move to Argentina, but I hear safety is an issue down there with home invasions and arm robbery I wonder how much is true and safe it really is down there now.

The health services are about to change for foreigners, you will need to prove that you are a properly settled resident, this happens because so far Argentina has been too extremely a generous country, arguably the most generous country in the world; and this is not an hyperbolic and bombastic statement. What country in the world provides FREE medical services in public hospitals to 3000 per month non-resident foreigners? Well, Argentina does it in the province of Jujuy and Salta, the provinces that border Bolivia. Every month, 3000 Bolivians living in Bolivia cross to Salta and Jujuy for FREE medical treatment. That has to stop, but because the current despicable woke agendas those Bolivians could not be denied medical services. Argentinean hospitals are so far not backed by a legislation that allows them to determine who is entitled to medical services and who is not. Although not in the whooping numbers as the Bolivians in Salta and Jujuy, also Chileans cross the border in Patagonian provinces to milk the medical services of Argentinean hospitals and health centres. Furthermore, what country in the world provides FREE university education to foreigners that on completion of their studies then return to their countries? Well, Argentina does. I don’t have the figures, but they are in the many thousands of university students from the whole of Spanish speaking countries of the American* continent. If you want to study in Argentina, all what you need are certificates of previous studies and certified previously studies syllabuses and that’s it, you are in. That has to stop, Argentina is not a rich a country that can afford that. And even worse, except the Brazilians, all other neighbouring countries hate the Argentineans and call us arrogant, racists and petulant; yet the enjoy and have a great time coming to milk away Argentina. The above described situation have been going on for many decades, since century XIX I would say. However, as it happened far away in the provinces, the politicians in Buenos Aires never gave a damn about those problems. However, since the Special Military Operation in Jewkraine began, there has been a massive influx of Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians to Buenos Aires, also to milk away the Argentinean generosity and to obtain world-widely accepted Argentinean passport through giving birth in Argentina. That’s the straw that broke the camel’s back and thus is that a legislation is coming up about health and education services for foreigners.

To understand why a foreigner who has not committed crime will not be deported from Argentina, neither heavily penalized if overdue on his/her visa, you must know the Argentinean national constitution: CONSTITUTION OF THE ARGENTINE NATION; PREAMBLE: We, the representatives of the people of the Argentine Nation, gathered in General Constituent Assembly by the will and election of the Provinces which compose it, in fulfilment of pre-existing pacts, in order to form a national union, guarantee justice, secure domestic peace, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves, to our posterity, and to all men of the world who wish to dwell on Argentine soil: invoking the protection of God, source of all reason and justice: do ordain, decree, and establish this Constitution for the Argentine Nation. The key take is: “... and to all men of the world who wish to dwell on Argentine soil…”, which means that allowance to live in Argentina comes down protected straight from national constitution.
No es tan así, el preámbulo invita a los hombres de bien del mundo que quieran vivir en su suelo y bla bla, es una tarjeta de invitación y adentro de la invitación están las reglas a seguir, que son las leyes migratorias que te dice todo lo que tenes que cumplir para ser aceptado, no es un "vengan y metanse"

The health services are about to change for foreigners, you will need to prove that you are a properly settled resident, this happens because so far Argentina has been too extremely a generous country, arguably the most generous country in the world; and this is not an hyperbolic and bombastic statement.
What country in the world provides FREE medical services in public hospitals to 3000 per month non-resident foreigners? Well, Argentina does it in the province of Jujuy and Salta, the provinces that border Bolivia. Every month, 3000 Bolivians living in Bolivia cross to Salta and Jujuy for FREE medical treatment. That has to stop, but because the current despicable woke agendas those Bolivians could not be denied medical services. Argentinean hospitals are so far not backed by a legislation that allows them to determine who is entitled to medical services and who is not.
Although not in the whooping numbers as the Bolivians in Salta and Jujuy, also Chileans cross the border in Patagonian provinces to milk the medical services of Argentinean hospitals and health centres.
Furthermore, what country in the world provides FREE university education to foreigners that on completion of their studies then return to their countries? Well, Argentina does. I don’t have the figures, but they are in the many thousands of university students from the whole of Spanish speaking countries of the American* continent. If you want to study in Argentina, all what you need are certificates of previous studies and certified previously studies syllabuses and that’s it, you are in. That has to stop, Argentina is not a rich a country that can afford that. And even worse, except the Brazilians, all other neighbouring countries hate the Argentineans and call us arrogant, racists and petulant; yet the enjoy and have a great time coming to milk away Argentina.
The above described situation have been going on for many decades, since century XIX I would say. However, as it happened far away in the provinces, the politicians in Buenos Aires never gave a damn about those problems. However, since the Special Military Operation in Jewkraine began, there has been a massive influx of Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians to Buenos Aires, also to milk away the Argentinean generosity and to obtain world-widely accepted Argentinean passport through giving birth in Argentina. That’s the straw that broke the camel’s back and thus is that a legislation is coming up about health and education services for foreigners.

To understand why a foreigner who has not committed crime will not be deported from Argentina, neither heavily penalized if overdue on his/her visa, you must know the Argentinean national constitution:
CONSTITUTION OF THE ARGENTINE NATION; PREAMBLE:
We, the representatives of the people of the Argentine Nation, gathered in General
Constituent Assembly by the will and election of the Provinces which compose it, in fulfilment of pre-existing pacts, in order to form a national union, guarantee justice, secure domestic peace, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves, to our posterity, and to all men of the world who wish to dwell on Argentine soil: invoking the protection of God, source of all reason and justice:
do ordain, decree, and establish this Constitution for the Argentine Nation.
The key take is: “... and to all men of the world who wish to dwell on Argentine soil…”, which means that allowance to live in Argentina comes down protected straight from national constitution.
No es tan así, el preámbulo invita a los hombres de bien del mundo que quieran vivir en su suelo y bla bla, es una tarjeta de invitación y adentro de la invitación están las reglas a seguir, que son las leyes migratorias que te dice todo lo que tenes que cumplir para ser aceptado, no es un "vengan y metanse"
@@ggl2947 Te falta entendimiento. La constitución nacional es la columna vertebral de toda legislación posterior. No puede haber ley que contradigan la constitución nacional, vale decir: leyes anti-constitucionales.
Toda legislación posterior debe siempre encuadrarse dentro de lo que establece la constitución.
@@salacious_motek well said. I agree!
@@salacious_motek Alberdi quien escribio dicho texto tenia bien en claro el tipo de inmigracion que queria: europea. Lo aclara infinidad de veces, el texto se debe interpretar dadas las ideocincracias de su autor.
