Has to be bus, right? http://www.viabariloche.com.ar/home/ I know the flights are short but expensive.

Hasn't this happened before in Bariloche? Or is this the first time that volcano has erupted in the last few decades? I would be interested to see the cleanup efforts in years past when there was much less infrastructure to worry about making presentable. We are now officially planning our...

I would think that would give anyone great leverage to bargain their way into rock-bottom rates just about anywhere, agreed? Doesn't sound like OP wants to purchase, but I've gotta believe housing prices have plummeted too.

Curious......did anyone love their car enough to ship it with them to Argentina? I have to imagine the costs would be sky-high.

Yes, probably in Expat life section. I'll let you start the thread, I have some links I can send you that have been very helpful for me.

Jared - my family is looking at a 2012 move to Bariloche as well. My wife has family in BA and they are attempting to help us as much as they can with the move. Some folks here have been very helpful with sharing information as well (Nicole and Jez, in particular). Would love to create a new...

I suppose that's totally relative to where you're from, right? To some, it could seem completely small-town and in the middle of nowhere, to others it could seem like a metropolis. I've seen both - grew up in Iowa and moved to Denver and I can say without hesitation I'm ready to move back to...

Interesting. So if you rented something at 1000 $USD per month you had to give them 12,000$USD up-front for the rental? Did they give you the option of a guaranty/deposit?

Great advice and all things we are taking into consideration. I don't think separate trips would be feasible, so the stay-at-the-hotel-while-we-look is our best and smartest option. Her side of the family would most likely be able to provide the guaranty.....with them being residents I have to...

Thanks, that is awesome..........we have her side of the family in BA so we're going to be leaning on them quite a bit for anything and everything. I see Tizado on your list of realtors, my mother-in-law has a good contact there that should be able to help. Browsing through the list of websites...

Hello! My wife is originally from Argentina (still a resident) and we are toying with the idea of packing up and moving to Bariloche as I am able to work anywhere with an internet connection. Having some difficulties finding a good website that lists long-term rentals (not the per-week...
