World-famous nightlife scene
🇦🇷San Carlos de Bariloche
Pros
- +Spectacular Patagonian scenery with lakes, forests and snow-capped mountains right on your doorstep
- +Four-season destination: hiking and lake life in summer, skiing and snowboarding in winter
- +Plenty of cafes and a handful of coworking spaces suitable for remote work
- +Lower cost of living than major European or North American mountain towns
Cons
- −Seasonality is extreme: very busy and expensive during summer holidays and ski season, much quieter off season
- −Weather can be rainy, windy and cold in winter with occasional storms that affect transport and outdoor plans
- −Internet can be slower and less reliable than in big Argentine cities, especially in more remote neighborhoods
- −You will almost certainly need a car or be comfortable with buses and remises to fully enjoy the surroundings
🇦🇷Córdoba
Pros
- +Lower cost of living than Buenos Aires with good quality of life for nomads
- +Strong student and university vibe with lots of cultural events and nightlife
- +Growing digital nomad ecosystem with several modern coworking spaces and work-friendly cafés
- +Good internet infrastructure with fibre widely available in central neighbourhoods
Cons
- −Safety is mixed: central and student areas are fine with normal precautions, but some barrios should be avoided
- −English is not widely spoken outside coworkings and some cafés – basic Spanish is very helpful
- −Public transport relies mainly on buses which can be confusing at first and crowded at rush hour
- −Air quality and noise can be an issue along busy avenues and in summer heat waves
