💬 What Nomads Say
Real reviews from digital nomads
"I spent two and a half months in Mendoza and absolutely loved the balance of work and lifestyle. My rent for a modern one-bedroom near Plaza Independencia was around $550/month and I was spending about $1,400 total living very comfortably. Internet in my apartment averaged 30-40 Mbps and was stable enough for daily calls. On weekends I would hop on wine tours or go hiking near the Andes. It felt small and safe but never boring."
"Mendoza is one of my favorite mid-sized cities in Latin America. The weather is dry and sunny most of the year, the plazas are full of life and the wine culture is incredible. The downside is that the nomad community is still small, so it takes more effort to meet other remote workers compared with Buenos Aires or Medellín. Also, you have to keep up with Argentina's inflation and always check exchange rates. Still, for cost of living and lifestyle it's hard to beat."
"I liked Mendoza but it did not become my long-term base. I loved being able to escape to vineyards or the mountains every weekend, but for me the city felt a bit too quiet during the week and there are limited coworking options compared to bigger hubs. Internet was fine in coworking spaces but weaker in some older apartments. If you are a wine lover or couple looking for a slower pace, it's a dream spot; if you want a dense nomad scene, it might feel small."
