I don't know about the infrastructure there. I looked into Cordoba mostly, sounds okay but I'll see. Being in the capital at least at the beginning might be convenient for me.
Sounds good, despite the scarry story with that young lad. How's the infrastructure there ? Internet/electricity/water?
Got it, I had no idea they'd call it this way.
I was looking at what seems to be a nice little town near the capital, called Nordelta. I imagine that's what they call 'country' then?
If anyone has experience with it, I'd be happy to hear. I've never seen such a concept before, and it looks green and peaceful. The official website doesn't work tho, I have no idea how to find info on what is there exactly, and how it works + costs.
Nordelta is a suburb, mostly made up of gated communities with guards, gates, and fences. It has golf courses, shopping malls, and is very car oriented, much like southern california or parts of florida. It is near the actual delta, Tigre, which is mostly accesible only by
boat and has very few year round residents.
Its not "country" like many of the old towns a bit farther out, which are small, funky, and agricultural.
I would recommend you look at Tandil, which is a university and ag town 5 hours drive south of Buenos Aires. It is big enough to have everything, but old fashioned with a central square and shopping district, and with residential districts farther out, including a golf course or two. Within 20 minutes of downtown you could be quite rural, but still easy access to stores and hospitals and services.
Most of rural argentina is composed of quite big ranches, often 10,000 hectaires or more, and the towns are sometimes 50 to 100 kilometers apart, with very little in between.
