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
