    weather in Calafate and surrounds

    I can only give advice on when I was in the South last year and what I know from it. End of April is the end of the "season" for Calafate- it was wonderful weather wise but I had the final days of the season and hadn't known about that so I was very lucky to be able to do the activities I...

    What is going on with daylight savings?

    I think that the decision to change the hour, or not change the hour outside of the seasonal time changes, is an economical decision, or at least this is how it has been explained to me by Argentineans. It is something the government adopted following initiatives applied in Africa to save on...

    Proof of income for temporary visa

    The advice given to me was that this type of visa was scrapped during the revisions in August- I know that the advice given by the embassy in England and the consulate here can differ on different days with different or even the same person- and this has been my experience! But I was intending...
