    It's time to relocate to Rio de Janeiro?

    Take the bus. Affordable and safe. We used Jbl line. It is a 2 day trip but uneventful. Good scenery in parts of the trip. Airbnbs are not a problem but beware most aren't as nice as the photos. BA's STR market is much better and more options.

    I thought the prices were bad last year. Higher than other places but we recently ate here and I was surprised to see the restaurant very empty compared to last year when it was very full and packed with people. Someone posted this menu on another post. The prices were even higher than this. I...

    Newcomer Basic salary and cost of living in BA

    I love this place and recently went back and shocked to see prices this high! These are double of what they were last year. The place was very slow compared to last year. Sadly we won't go back at these prices.

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    But how will the agriculture and beef sectors compete with Brazil and other countries with the very high prices? I would think there must be a devaluation of their currency in early 2025. Even most top investment banks predicted it should be much higher than it is. Argentina won't be able to...

    Trip Reports Trip Report San Telmo

    San Telmo provided a secure and welcoming atmosphere during my visit two weeks ago. It's a highly walkable area with a fascinating street fair offering a wide array of interesting items. Throughout the day, San Telmo, Palermo, and Recoleta felt very safe as long as I took standard precautions...

    We went to celebrate a birthday with a reservation. At the time of the reservation we made it clear that we had preference inside and with a table for 6. Even showing the message, the receptionist in a bad way told us that it could not be changed and we were given a table for 4 with two more...
