Argentina in winter (August)
Posted on May 6, 2008, 09:58:13 by mmbcross
Consider winter in Argentina similar to winter in Europe, or at least from Buenos Aires south. As you get further south, so the weather gets colder. BA in the winter is like London, cold and wet, though it never snows. Bariloche in the Andes is ski season. ...
 
campervan travling in Argentina
Posted on Sep 28, 2009, 10:30:29 by mmbcross
That's a hard one. I've not heard of anyone doing Argentina in a campervan, but from what I have found, it seems eminently possible. I certainly wouldn't consider a full RV like they have in North America, rather a smaller campervan as they ...

Argentina-Columbia!
Posted on Jun 4, 2009, 00:40:49 by mmbcross
I really don't know if I can support Argentina. They have beaten England a few times, and the games always seem to end with a punch-up. On the other hand, Colombia has never beaten England. So...in spite of all that....GO ARGENTINA!!
 
Longterm Travelling/Working in Buenos Aires

I think you will be pretty hard pressed to get a work visa unless you have a contact in Argentina. You can usually get teaching jobs if you have previous experience. Better still if you are TEFL certified. Don't expect to be hired at a living wage if ...
 
Raised Fine for Overstaying Visa
Posted on Jun 1, 2009, 10:53:19 by bsas4you
$300 pesos is still only ~$81USD. If you overstay your visa in Argentina, is there jail time or something worse in addition to the fine? Though it still doesn't make much sense to do overstay considering the visa only costs $ ...

If you are looking for horseback riding, you just can't go wrong in Argentina. For true equestrian delight, stick to the Pampas in Argentina, which run pretty much from north to south through the centre of the country. Mendoza is in the Andean ...
