Argentina is definitely a country that should be on everyone’s bucket list. From the falls of Igyazu to the Perito Moreno glacier, the majestic Andies to the Atlantic beaches, from its indigenous villages of the Jujuy province to its cosmopolitan Porteños, it is a land of delightful contrasts.

One of the most wonderful countries I've been in, it's people, it's cuisine and the feeling of freedom you have all the time. Sailing in Tigre is a great experience while being fairly cheap, with multiple food options and the beauty of walking there. Argentina is a world of wonders

Man... this is my first time watching your video... i am from Ghana 🇬🇭, Africa and i am learning Spanish so i can explore South America from December and Argentina is one of the countries on top of my list where i want to stay for long. Your video is a must watch at least 100 times. This video is very informative and super... keep it up man!

A great video and very useful information. I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for nearly 10 years and traveled to other parts of Argentina. Mendoza is beautiful and completely different from Buenos Aires. The people of Argentina are also awesome they will make you feel welcome you will feel like you are not in a country in financial crisis what a lot of people don't understand about Argentina is they are family oriented hence they pool their resources and work together to enjoy life there is something in Argentina to suit every lifestyle that you could imagine . I purchased a home in Mar Del Plata Argentina and this is where I plan to retire.

You probably did the best aproach ive seen coming from a foreigner about argentinian history. Excelent video.

There are so many beautiful places and fun things to do in Argentina!

Most of the world recognize the Malvinas as british?? Where did you read it?? Go search what UN says.. You should not comment of such an issue if you ignore the reality. Most of the british population of the islands arrive after the war to ensure argentina couldn't recover the island... Is not a nationalist issue, is a colonialism issue

Hola, me parece pertinente aclararte tres errores que cometiste en tu relato 1 ) Las Islas se llaman Malvinas no Falklands , 2)Argentina no invadió nada maestro, recupero su territorio que por derecho le pertenece y no dejaremos nunca de reclamar hasta que la patria este completa, los únicos invasores son los ingleses, ya que en 1833 tomaron x la fuerza nuestro territorio, y desplazaron a los pobladores argentinos que vivían en Malvinas, Las islas Malvinas junto a las islas Orcadas y Sándwich del sur son parte de la provincia de Tierra del Fuego que es la provincia más austral de Argentina. 3)Malvinas no es propaganda capo , es un sentimiento y los argentinos seguiremos insistiendo en discutir su soberanía hasta que la bandera argentina vuelva a ondear sobre nuestras islas .la ONU reconoce la soberanía argentina en las islas, si vas a hablar de este tema infórmate mejor flaco.

I LOVE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷

There's a huge mistake about the concept of "Dirty War" and the fact that there wasn't a civil war. That term is not longer in use because legally speaking the State (as an authority, being couped by a DICTATORSHIP) can't be in war with civilians of it's own nation. A civil war is a war between different factions of organized civilians. We call it Terrorismo de Estado (or how the State handled illegaly and murderously the situation). Another fact is missing and maybe it's the most important fact of all of this episode of out history: the fact that in '76, once again a dictatorship took the government and proceeded with illegal detentions, torture, killing, stealing and what not to accomplish their intentions. About 30.000 persons where DESAPARECIDOS (missing ones, a term that the Dictator Videla used in a press conference: "they're missing, they have no entity, they're not here, neither dead nor alive).

Great Video. Your research for background information is really much appreciated! More attention is going. to flow your way that's for sure. Value always wins and you provide a lot sir!

I live in Europe and after the war between Russia and Ukraine started I started exploring ways to emigrate to South America in case things get really bad with this war. I hope for peace but I'm not sure we'll get peace. We may have to run away somewhere.

Wanted a travelers lodown on Argentina and found this vid and your channel. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Presque le pays rêvé ! 🌈

New sub...really enjoyed my trip along with you today...thanks

People say Argentina is mostly white people which it is true but from walking around you see a lot of indigenous or meztiso people too like you would see in Mexico or other places in Latin America.

Just stumble across the details of this place... i think im moving to Argentina ...

LAS MALVINAS SIEMPRE FUERON ARGENTINAS

How does the inflation really affect QOL in Arg though? Is it more of an inconvience or is it terribad? From what I see Argentina life is still pretty darn good. Everything is so nice. I have yet to see any homeless.

Hello, I have a trip scheduled for October. Is it still safe to travel due to the economic situation right now?

hi, nice videos. which equipment do you have?

Wow, the tip about the exchange rate 😮

Where did you get your history?

it feels safe depending on what colour your skin is the people are deping on your ethnicity

I know that all Capital Cities always have the best shopping and usually the best entertainment however, what is the quality of life like in say: La Plata, Cordoba, Tucaman or Viedma ? Anyone been to these places or live there ?

Beautiful there ! - Just expensive to travel a lot with places so far from each other and expensive air fares. Little English is a problem for many as well & small talk really is so limiting the experience.

Hello, I would like to ask about what happened to Argentina’s cheerleaders Las Marineritas de Almirante Brown futbol team.?

200 pesos just 6 months ago? Now November 2022, dolar blue is around 300.

If you had to only pick 1 country to live out of Argentina, Albania, Uruguay or Macedonia what would pick. Thank you.

11:12 Everything you said is wrong. 1) The Anglosphere is not the world, only you call them "Falklands". The ACTUAL rest of the world, particularly nations that speak Romance languages, also calls them Malvinas or some derivative from the French 'Malouines Islands'. 2) It's not a 'nationalist' position, but rather a claim that is supported by the entire Argentine population, as it has solid historical foundations and is safeguarded by international law. 3) They were not passed from hand to hand, they were part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata and were inhabited by Argentines until 1833, when the English INVADED them and expelled the settled population. 4) Invading ≠ reclaim sovereignty. It's an invasion if Ukraine tries to reclaim Crimea? 5) The British did not 'simply show up and took the islands back'. Argentina practically destroyed the British navy, and the UK required the assistance of several countries, including Chile, Uruguay, France, and the USA, to *barely* win the war against a third-world nation, which is kind of pathetic if you ask me. Most academics agree that Argentina was just a week away from winning the war, and it's known that Thatcher even considered dropping an atomic bomb on Córdoba as a result.

8:58 , that image is the moment where Argentina was doomed forever. The metastase is so big now , that there is no chance for Argentina to be a superpower.

I am always struck by the lack of contextualization of Americans who talk about the economy or politics of a Latin American country. They don't address these economic and political problems by telling how the US plays its dominant role in the world. It should tell about the fiscal pressure exerted by its economy on the poor countries of Latin America and the endorsement of the USA that Latin dictatorships had.

Now its 300

Some remarks. Mafalda was strip published in newspapers and was not for children but for grown-ups. She had some friends from the neighbourhood and made comments or satirical to the governent and country affairs. The author was Quino (Joaquin Lavado), recognized in many countries. Mafalda has been translated to many languages. I think the history of Argentina is a little different. The firs arrivals where from Peru, entering the NW of the country. Then, once it was evident that America was a new continent they started to seek for a passage for the spices, as the Portuguese held the route around Africa. Therefore Solis arrived to the River Plate and was killed by the indians. Then Magellan arrived to the River Plate but he realized that it was a river and not a passage to the other ocean and therefore continued south. When he found the strait one of his ships abandoned the espedition to give the news and it is believed that during a storm saw for the first time the Malvinas (Falklands). The pampas had very little population because the indians were nomads, there was little water and no animals that could be hunted. The foundation of cities in the River Plate were mainly to stop the advance of the Portuguese, that originally had ony the eastern tip of Brazil, but then continued to expand finding gold, gems and then sugar. The only sweetener in Europe was honey. Sugar was very appreciated. It is said tha USA was able to get independent because the English preferred to suffocate the slave revolts in the caribean that gave the sugar, than those little colonies in the continent that only sent some tobacco and furs. The southern part of the Continent, the Patagonia was left without any colonization because in Chile they found the Araucanos (today called Mapuches) and the Argentina Patagonia didn´t give any yields. En 1536 Pedro de Mendoza founded Buenos Aires for the first time, but several years later it was abandoned leaving behind some cattle and horses that reproduced freely and when the second foundation is done in 1580 there were thousands of animals going about the pastures. The main exports of Buenos Aires for many years was cow leather. Till the invention of plastic anything flexible and strong was made of leather. The animals were hunted, the leather was taken and the rest of the animal was left. Towards the end of the colonial period there were salting factories that prepared salted meat that was exported to Brazil and the Caribean Islands for the slaves that worked in the plantations. Only in the independent period agriculture was taken at more that subsistence level and from the middle of 19th century there ever growing exports of wheat and corn. Towards the end of the same century there are exports of frozen meat. But first there were big advances in the cattle with the import of british specimens (Shorton, Aberdeen Angus, Hereford). The agriculture implied the inmigration of milions of people. The first in number were italian, second spanish and third from Siria/Lebanon, but we have inmigrant from half the countries in the world. The national identity when Buenos Aires was invaded by the British in 1806 and 1807. The first time they were succesful, but without any help of Spain the locals reconquered the city two months later. The Spanish treasure was already sailing to London where a big parade was held, but the English had to surrender. The second time, in 1807, they were directy defeated in their attack and for the second time, Spain did little to help its subjects. In 1810 the Spanish king Ferdinand VII was captive of Napoleon. In the City of Cadiz a Comission was made to govern in his name and pretended to rule over América. One thing little known is that the territories of Spain in America were not of Spain as a country but of the Crown of Castilia. Were territories of the King/Queen, not of Spain. Buenos Aires made a "Junta" (Comission) to govern in name of King Ferdinand that promptly changed idea and started the process of independence. Therefore in Argentina we have two national days. May 25th, 1810 1st National Government, and July 9th, 1816 Declaration of Independence (of Spain or any other government). Many other revolutions started in 1810, but only Buenos Aires was able to resist suffocation. San Martín 1816 started the organization of an Army of 7000 soliders that crossed in 1817 the Andes ridges to defeat the Spanish in Chile and then in a naval expedition attacked the heart of the Spanish power in South America which was in Lima, Peru. En 1820 Perú declares it independence of Spain. Ushuahia is only founded in 1884, well into the flourishing period of Argentina as a Republic. The patagonia was colonized, not conquered during the 19th century. The Malvinas war is by no means a simple thing. The Argentines had to brake the 150 years period since 1833 when the English took the Island by force. They say they discovered but the first settlement was French from Saint Maló and called the island "Malouines" (then evolved to Malvinas) to hunt sea lions and other fur sea animals. The French recognized the rights of the Spanish Empire to the islands and left. After that there were several encampments in different places of the island of different origins, even USA and Britain. But there were not any settlers. But after Independence Buenos Aires sent some settlers and appointed a governor for the islands. But in 1833 HMS Clio arrived and expelled the Argentine settlers alledgedly because the British had previous rights. Today the kelpers (as the inhabitantas are called) feel themselves totally British and in their schools a partial history is taught, so they really don't believe they should be part of Argentina. Britain had heavy ship losses caused by the Air Force and Naval Aviation.

Excelente video, muy bien hecho y relatado. Si bien pueda ser una mala traducción de GOOGLE (no hablo ni entiendo (escucho, escribo) el idioma inglés... ni quiero) decir Colombiano (de Colombia) NO es lo mismo que decir COLOMBINO (o PRE-Colombino de Colón o sea antes de) tal como lo dices varias veces en este video Ej: 06:00 Tampoco hubo una sola corriente migratoria desde Europa en el siglo que mencionás. Como yo mismo provengo de franceses (que llegaron a sudamérica en 1863) digo que hay descendientes de varias otras nacionalidades, como ser de alemanes, rusos, árabes, etc. también hay actualmente japoneses y chinos más recientemente, que aunque son minoría, ayudaron a forjar "nuestra" nacionalidad Argentina.

It's always kind of sad to see a country that should be prosperous and wealthy, but unable to "pull it together". For a population that is so politically active, it seems like maybe a national economics 101 class might make an impact. Beautiful country, though.

I woul like clarify tha here in Argentina we don`t call "dirty war" o "guerra sucia" to that period you mentioned. We called "Dictadura" or "Dictatorship" and it was not necessarily a Civil War, it was more a Military take down. And maybe "just not good things happening in Argentina" is a BIG understatement. Argentina is the firs contry in the world to take the Military responsables for the dictatorship to trail and to jail. The war for the islands is so present in every thing because the generation that had to go to war today is people of 60/70/80 year old. So the fathers or grand father of yong people today. And we don`t have a war culture per se, we are not at all "used to" like USA or England.

Malvinas Argentinas, yankee agarra un libro alguna vez en tu vida.

I noticed you walking around with backpack. I heard people like to steal people's bag. Did that happen to you?

I wonder how Bitcoin is doing in such an economy

Las Malvinas son uno de los territorios calificados por la ONU para ser descolonizados por lo tanto el resto del mundo no cree que sean territorio británico.

“The English in this country is questionable” - not sure that’s the right terminology in a Spanish speaking country but I get you lol It would be great to learn more about what happened to the indigenous people, what rights they have if any, and how they’re perceived in modern Argentina. Would also be good to understand what happened to enslaved africans - especially as most other South American countries, look more visibly diverse (obv Argentina is diverse from a European perspective).

just subscribed to your channel.. your videos are quite informative and generally interesting ; they would be even better if we could see more of the place and less of the talking head..

13:35 So the English brought from England want to be English, what a shock! If I remove the locals and implant my own what do you think they are going to vote? We should make a referendum but with the descendants of the Argentines expelled in 1833, not with the descendants of English invaders. What do you think ethnic Russians in annexed territories where they are a majority, like Donbass, will vote in a referendum? Will you respect it and recognize it as Russian land? 13:16 And no. It's not recognized as British by most of the world. The anglosphere is not "the world". The only one who is spitting propaganda is you.

las Malvinas son Argentinas

So the economy still works just by printing new money every year???

Argentina is beautiful, but when you have to pay around 160 taxes, have one of the most corrupt government in the world, 50% of pouverty, a non friendly country to invest money on business, etc….you start to understand why a lot of Argentinians are leaving the country, even do is beautiful. If you do not pay taxes and receive US dollars or Euros us amaizing.

You said it perfectly, "you're just a blogger", I recommend you don't discuss matters that are beyond your comprehension and knowledge. Please don't talk about the "Malvinas" conflict, your "perspective" coming from a country with shady history like yours has no value.

Israelíes are not EUROPEOS ,!?!?

Porque dices que Argentina invadio las Marvin's? Eso hicieron los ladrones ingleses que siempre se dedicaron a robar e invadir territorios

the Malvinas are Argentine and the population of the island are English, put to live there because the government told them to.
