While we enjoyed our time in Buenos Aires, we aren't rushing back. We fell in love with other Argentinean cities, and will be sharing those soon! As for Buenos Aires, it's definitely a must visit, if you love big cities. What did you think of Buenos Aires? Was it what you expected?
I had a very different experience in BA, probably because I didn't go in Summer, but also because I walked everywhere. Stayed in Recoleta on the advice of Argentino friends, and right on the edge of one of the bigger parks. I didn't see any dogs (the family I stayed with had two cats!) and there were no mosquitoes. There were some great neighborhood coffee shops as well as plenty of restaurants. I've been told that most Argentinos don't speak English, but strangely enough, almost everyone I met did. I have visited Mendoza several times, and I'm looking forward to seeing other parts of the country. I found that the best part of Argentina was the people who live there! They don't stop the party just because the sun comes up...:).
It does sound like you saw a different side of things. That's one of the greatest aspects of BA - it can offer so many different experiences depending on what you're into! We're excited to share more videos of our journey throughout Argentina over the coming weeks and months - it has such a variety of experiences and sights throughout.
There was a real strange plague of mosquitos since late March up to late Abril, but by early May was completely over. I guess ur video was made within that lapse
Buenos Aires is nicknamed "Paris of America" and it's no coincidence... In mid-19th century, Paris was demolished and rebuilt as we know it today, shortly after Buenos Aires was also demolished and rebuilt in the image of Paris, with its architectural styles of that time: beaux arts/academicism-art nouveau/deco, with the layout of large boulevards/avenues/diagonals and proliferation of parks, like Paris. That's why among major metropolises of the world, just London and Paris r on par with Buenos Aires in terms of urban beauty. For ppl who love architecture, Buenos Aires is "paradise."
I didn't know they were re-built around the same time - that makes sense! It was done in a beautiful style. I wish more cities maintained an emphasis on architectural beauty in present day development.
@@UnlockedVistas Rosario, second most important city in Argentina, has an architecture that resembles Buenos Aires, and is the other "European" city not only in Argentina but also on the continent (along with Montevideo and Quebec in Canada, although in latter cases to a lesser extent) Rosario, here: ua-cam.com/video/BifGHJCfv2w/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/wrhiuytbXyQ/v-deo.html

Hi! We broke down how much we spent in Argentina, and in which categories, in a different video. Might be a good start to estimating your potential costs. ua-cam.com/video/8V8zElzB1ng/v-deo.html
There's still a few parks that resist the fencing-up. It mostly happened in the last, say, 20 years or so; for concerns of "security". But when I was a teenager (I'm 40) you could hang out in every park or square all night long with your pals.
Thanks for providing context. Fortunately the fences do look nice. However, getting in and out of the parks can be tricky to navigate if you aren't familiar with where entrances are.
So, were you in BA during Christmas? My husband and I are planning a Christmas trip to BA and was wondering if there is anything we need to know regarding the city during a major holiday. Thanks!
Yes, we spent Christmas and NYE there. It seemed like the city shutdown for the holidays- many businesses were closed for vacation (understandably). I suggest making reservations for events, and restaurants, in advance. We didn't plan for this and found it hard to get last minute reservations, especially on Christmas Eve. Some museums also had limited holiday hours. Instagram was our go-to for updated business hours.
Los latinos dejaron de existir hace mucho, los verdaderos latinos fueron los pobladores de Lazio en la actual Italia que es desde donde se dio origen al imperio romano, luego que conquistaron una gran parte del mundo conocido en la época la población de Lazio que eran los verdaderos latinos desapareció tal como era debido al mestizaje, en la actualidad ni siquiera existen, de hecho el término latinoamericano fue un término inventado por los franceses de modo derogativo para hacernos "menos" qué a la América anglosajona
The fences in the parks its a shame. The city gobernment decided to put them a few years ago but there is no real reason for them and i think that ruins the view. The mosquitoes invasion this year was insane, something i never seen before, hope that this doesnt repeat next year. There are a lot of dogs in the city, but never experienced a smelly stituation.
Great video!! Enjoyed watching!! Done myself a video about Buenos Aires for my travel channel, if you want to have a look...thank you!!🎉you got a subscriber!!
And the most beautiful thing about Argentina is that since libertotarios voted so bad, you can eat in Argentina as if you're in Eastern Europe from Eurotrip movie. Thanks libertos!!

Visit Bariloche, the Perito Moreno Glacier and The Iguazú waterfalls.
You won´t regret it !!!!
We visited those spots and loved them!!! We prefer nature to big cities. The Bariloche and Perito Moreno videos are coming soon. 😊
@@UnlockedVistas 👌
Beautiful video! One of the best cities without a doubt!!
Thanks for watching!

Argentina is the country with the best level of English in Latin America, in fact.

Glad that it’s not like that always! We were there Dec - Jan.

Thanks, well done, good to know info
Thanks for watching! Glad video was helpful.
Mosquitoes are usually not a problem.
But during the last summer-autumn there was an INVASION of mosquitoes !!
Thanks for letting us know! It was intense- hopefully it’s better this summer.
Hey could u tell the living cost in a Argentina for the family of four? We are homeschooling our kids

There where no fences 8-10 years ago.

@@UnlockedVistas - thank you for the advice! It's great to know this from someone who has the experience!
The mosquito was a big issue in 2024, because of a weather condition called "La Niña".
Thanks for sharing! Didn’t realize La Niña impacted mosquitoes too.
Yes ,it’s because in this latitude comes with unusually rainy days
It looks like SUMMER but we are almost in the cold WINTER.
Yes, we were there earlier in the year.
Migz te recomiendo la proxima que vengas sin la mejicana la vas a pasar mejor👍🏻

Now this winter we are freeezing, more than half of the country is under snow. Not BA, but freezing anyway. Greetings from BA
Yikes! We are both from New England, so we've been very pleased that our travels have taken us away from all snow for this past year. Stay warm!
