I totally agree! Mendoza has such good vibes. It's hard to explain unless you've been there. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Si Si! Es una parte belissima de la ciudad. Me gustaba mucho la ciudad bosque! Gracias para ver el video! Saludos!

Great city, highly recommend

@@enzohernancallezogbi some blocks of av san martin are better than others i think, but overall i just loved having a commercial street that's so long with so many shops, restaurants, etc. Thanks for watching

@@WeDidntExpectthis I felt pretty safe doing it on Florida street, but it's a little tricky because they will usually only accept large bills ($100 USD) of the newest series and undamaged. Euros too, same thing. Though some people get scammed because the money changer will give counterfeit bills. Doesnt happen often but I have heard about it. It never happened to me. They do the transaction in a nearby office, not right on the street. Actually, I ran out of USD cash so I started doing Western Union. They give a rate that is slightly worse than the blue dollar and they charge a transaction fee, but it is more secure and predictable. I have never had them run out of cash, the trick is to find a large branch location, the kind with multiple service windows. Those usually have a lot of cash on hand. If you are in Buenos Aires, I recommend the branch at the corner of Montevideo and Cordoba streets. Also, foreign Visa credit cards use an exchange rate very close to the blue dollar rate but some smaller businesses only accept cash and some businesses will give you a discount if you pay in cash. It's a bit complicated and overwheming at first but I got used to it pretty quick.

@@WeDidntExpectthis If you want, you can add me on instagram and DM me. I'm happy to answer questions you have as you are planning. Might be easier than doing it in the comments 😅

@@GarryMikal Thanks Gary - appreciated. Maybe will do this down the track. I can't remember whether I ever joined Instagram - but thought about it for another purpose earlier this week. Will get in touch. Marianne

Thanks for watching! I don't think it gets too humid in Mendoza but it does get very hot in the summer. When I was there it was about 100F for 2 weeks in a row and though the locals told me that was unusual, they said that it is usually in the 90s (F) during the summer. It's a dry heat, but it's hot for sure. Good luck in your travels!

Mendoza have a mountain weather, I think like a melt between California near the mountains and italian Mediterranean. For that climate, we have the best wines from the world and olive oil. I hope u can live here, everyone are welcome. CHEERS!

Is very hot in summer, maximum temperatures 32°-38°c but is dry. December January is the hottest.

I think it depends on what you define as "comfortably." I stayed there for about $900 per month, I am moderately thrifty. Also note that because the economy and inflation are wacky in Argentina now it is hard to plan or budget too far in the future.

I'm sure you can live comfy here. You can get a pretty good place for $250 to $300 USD in areas like Alto Dorrego, Godoy Cruz and 6ta Sección which are 10 minutes away from the heart of the City. Vistalb and Chacras is gorgeous, more quiet and country like, is 25 to 30 minutes away from the center of the city but is so worth it. Groceries for 2 ppl and pet is about $500 and that with good quality meat and fruits&veggies inclueded. You have public and prepaid health care here but I strogly suggest a prepaid for emergency cases because public health is really lacks in that. And you can go to REALLY good doctors for scheduled apointments (you have a long waiting tho, depending on the demand, but 2 months is the usual) for $12 to $30. Prepaids are usually more expensive the older you are so having a good one can be about $260 up to $350 ffor 2 ppl The house expenses like water/gas/electricity has bimestral payment (you pay once every two months) its about $120 internet of 100MEGAS is like $35 - $45 Going out to eat one a week can cost $27 for two ppl in almost any normal place, but if you go to a fancy one can go up to $50 to $60 for 2. As the good folk in the vid said mendoza is pretty much walkable city so i don't think owning a car is necessary. I think you are good pretty much good with 2000 and even have a little spear money to buy clothes and some other stuff every month. I hope this helps!

I didn't buy property, i was just renting through Airbnb. Thanks for watching!

The best would be to transfer the money to someone with a bank account in the US and Argentina

@@cieloabatido yes, after doing some research it seems we would have to move to Argentina, I would have to get my dni and all my paperwork to be a resident then, open an account at BBV for pseos and dollars.

@@davidbanner6104 I don't know very well but I think it is also risky because of the taxes,etc. What I suggested was, if you have some relative in Argentina with extra money here in Argentina, an a bank account in the US that would be ideal, he can transfer money between national accounts to buy the house, and you transfer your money to an account in the US

@@cieloabatido ahhh i see. Unfortunately none of our relatives have an American bank account 😔

@@leogigena1048 no I left Mendoza back in the summer but I hope to return someday

@@GarryMikal Let me know and we go for a beer! I live here
