Hi Plumerian! I'm Katie, a Canadian married to an Argentinean living in El Bolsón for the last 13 years or so! We have a 9yr old and an 11yr old. We just spent last weekend in SMA - really cute and beautiful town! But yes, sounds like getting housing there is tricky. Our cousin's just bought a...

Yes a big difference in rate, I tried today with MoneyGram and it also did not work. I don't know what's going on. Maybe because my account is Canadian? Remitly worked a couple of times but the rate takes a while to catch up! It is only worthwhile if someone signs up with a referal code - so if...

For some reason WU will no longer allow me to send directly to any bank account. I get an error code, I've tried switching browsers, accounts, making a new account - everything - did anyone else have this issue?

Good morning! Is there a limit on how much you can send yourself via Western Union (foreign bank account to Arg bank account) per month or per year? Has anyone had issues with limits or frequency of transfers? Thanks!

Hello! My children and I are traveling to Canada in December. We all need a negative PCR test within 72 hours of our flight. Where can I get this done easily? We are coming from Bariloche, can we do it when we arrive to Aeroparque? Our connecting flight is the next day in Ezeiza but I don't...

I live in El Bolsón which is about 120km south of Bariloche. We usually only go to Bariloche to do tramites (paperwork) or to pick up people from the airport! The surrounding areas are beautiful - the mountains and lakes but the city itself can be intense with traffic and people including a lot...
