What
is the square area of Paradise? In so many of the world beauty spots there
is an annoying city or freeway that degrades the view.There
are a few still pristine places, but the crush of people is so heavy, you
are always surrounded. There is noise. There is car exhaust. There is...
Patagonia to escape to. San Carlos de Bariloche is perched above the lovely
Nahuel Huapi Lake with brazos (arms) stretching off as far as the imagination
can wander. El Bolson a couple of hours south does not have the downtown
lake but just turn to the west and the massive wall of rock rises thousands
of feet above you. Mountains completely encircle the town but the wall
draws your eye and you feel like an ant. Most people just gasp as
the clouds pull back and you see the true height of the peaks. A few minutes
drive south and across the Rio Negro Province border, and into Chubut Province,
there is Lago Puelo spread before an array of snowy peaks. From Lago Puelo
north to Bariloche, then on to Villa la Angostura and finally to San Martin
de Los Andes: my Paradise. When the crowds come, the exits are everywhere.
There is the Lake or you can travel deeper in as pavement turns to gravel,
then to dirt, and buildings begin to disappear among the trees. The Lake
country of Argentina is dominated by a mix of truly awesome mountains,
and intensely beautiful lakes. Sprinkle in a few graceful volcanos and
you have a wild masterpiece outside your windows. No matter which side
of which lake you find yourself on, the colors will surprise you. The sky
is childhood-blue and the water is so clear you can easily pick out stones
on the bottom even from the top of the surrounding ridges. - A

Global Positioning System, The Provincial Whore, & The Dead Woman -
A Tale Of The Argentine Department Of Highways By Roger Gallo
- I expected a fold out map, available at most filling stations, or through
Argentina's equivalent of the American Automobile Association; aptly named,
the Argentine Automobile Association. A bit of background will explain
my naivety: I remember radios when they were four feet tall. They had three
knobs. One in the middle, one on right, one on the left. The one
in the middle was for changing the station, the one on the left was the
volume control, the right knob was supposed to be a speaker adjustment
control of some sort, but it never seemed to do much. Now, I can clearly
recall that I was not allowed to touch this complicated device; its operation
was clearly beyond the ability of a child, only an adult could operate
such an advanced piece of technical apparatus. |

 Starting
a Leather Goods Business in Northwest Argentina
- Many people dream of moving abroad, for a better climate, to explore
new business opportunities, or simply to experience life in another culture
and society. A common obstacle to realizing this dream, however, is what
to do for work once there. With a little vision and perseverance – and
ideally some savings – there’s absolutely no reason why this obstacle should
be insurmountable. In 2010 I moved from the UK to Salta in northwest Argentina
in search of space, experience and opportunity. I had been working developing
property in the UK, but following the financial crisis of 2008 house prices
were falling, credit was harder to obtain, and good investment opportunities
were becoming rare. Predictions for the housing market were of several
years of stagnation at best. With my children under the age of three, moving
abroad wasn’t going to disrupt their education the way it might for older
children, and new horizons beckoned. |

 Interview
with Rachel Denning: From Alaska to Argentina
- Rachel Denning didn’t begin her traveling career until the age of 28
and as a mother to four children. Their family adventures began in 2007
with a road trip from the United States all the way to Panama. But it didn’t
stop there. They spent a year living in Costa Rica; six months in the Dominican
Republic; five months in India; drove from Atlanta, Georgia to Alaska (where
baby number five was born); and now are driving from Alaska to Argentina
in a veggie-powered truck. I found out about this amazing family through
another world-traveling friend of mine, Talon Windwalker. When I
went on their blog, the first thing I read was: “Live. Deliberately. We
believe that life should be amazing. If you only do what you think is possible
or reasonable, you cut yourself off from what you really want and all that’s
left is a compromise.” I knew that I had already fallen for this family
and needed to share them with the world. |
 Nomadic
Retirement: Chapter Two, From Chile to Argentina
- In the first installment of this series on circling the globe in the
southern hemisphere, we visited New Zealand and then headed east to South
America, where we will encounter cultural treasures, vastly opposing landscapes,
and diverse people. From the frozen southern Tierra del Fuego to the steamy
swamps of the Darien Gap, from the beaches of Brazil to the heights of
Mt. Aconcagua, this fascinating region of the world has a lot in store
for the open-minded explorer. We ended up our last segment with a description
of Chile’s geography. 2700 miles long, but only averaging a width of 109
miles with over 4000 miles of coastline. It is no wonder that a nation
with that much access to the ocean has become very dependent on seafood.
The rich cold water and the Humboldt Current’s low salinity are a breeding
ground for many species of fish and shellfish. About 20% of the world’s
seafood originates in this region, so take advantage of restaurant menus
stocked very liberally with all kinds of delights emanating from the sea. |

 Ten
Interesting Facts about Living in Argentina
- The police here seem to uphold the law in an arbitrary way. For example
it is illegal to have a child under the age of twelve in the front seat
of a car. My transport is my trusty bicycle, but friends have told
me that they have been stopped and reprimanded for driving with their child
securely belted in beside them while in the other lane a family of
three or more chunter blithely past on a single moped with maybe one safety
helmet between them. Likewise tourists in their safe, reliable rental cars
are routinely stopped for the offense of not having their lights on ( obligatory
at all times ) – while rust- buckets held together with string,
with barely one working light at either end – lurch along unimpeded. My
husband’s truck falls into the latter category and I am not in the least
proud to admit that at times nothing seems to work on it whatsoever,
apart from the wheels and the engine. Yet despite the fact that he gets
regular parking tickets in town he has never been called to account for
the less than road- worthy condition of his vehicle. Which brings me to……. |

 Latin
America Leaders Unite to Decriminalize Drugs for Personal Use
- An apparent revolt against the strong arm of U.S. antidrug policy is
spreading within the top tiers of Latin American governments. ”More
than 40 years after the world began this war against drugs, I think we
need to analyze whether what we are doing is correct,” Colombian President
Juan Manuel Santos has recently said. While the US is continuing
to pump more and more money into Latin America in an attempt to curb drug-related
problems, it is becoming obvious that the tactics that have been relied
upon in the past are non-effective. Over 8 billion dollars
of military aid has been poured into Colombia alone over the last decade
to dismantle drug networks, yet it still remains the world’s top cocaine
producer. After decades of being brutalized by the U.S. government’s failed
prohibitionist drug policies, many Latin American leaders are uniting to
say “enough is enough”, and are looking to explore new ways of stepping
up and handling drug issues in their country – and one way that keeps coming
up time and time again is to decriminalize drug use for personal use. Decriminalizing
drug possession (when the amounts in possession are small and obviously
for personal use) appears to have little impact on levels of illicit drug
use. Its greater consequence is that it reduces the arrests of drug users,
reduces opportunities for low level police corruption and allows police
to focus their time and resources on more serious crimes, such as the large
traffickers, it reduces costs within the criminal justice system, and better
enables individuals and governments to deal with addiction as a health
rather than criminal issue. |
 Trout
Fishing Patagonia, Argentina
- Fly Fishing Patagonia proved to be the ultimate trout fishing experience
due to the extraordinary beauty of the locale, the variety of its waters,
the friendliness and expertise of our guide and the warmth of the Argentinean
people. Booking a fishing trip to a foreign land where one does not speak
the language is somewhat daunting. But my online research revealed
that a town called Junín de Los Andes seemed to be very popular
amongst fly-fisherman and boasted several varied and productive rivers
and lakes in close proximity to each other and to the town. I am fortunate
to have a cousin in Buenos Aires who, although he is not a fisherman, was
able to assemble a list of potential guides, lodges and outfitters for
me to research and interview in and around the town of Junín de
Los Andes. After doing a little online research as to price, accommodations
and personalities, I selected as our guide Carlos Viscario, known locally
and to his many satisfied customers as “Tuqui.” My decision was based
on the letters of reference he posted on his website and my telephone conversations
with him during which I was able to determine that he spoke excellent English,
seemed like a nice person and had a sense of humor, i.e. he laughed at
my jokes; so either he had a sense of humor or was smart enough to laugh
at my jokes, in either case a good thing. |

 Living
in Argentina: La Vida Buena By Cathy Brown
- Fueled by hot desert days and cool nights, both protected and nourished
by the majestic snow-capped Andes to the west, Mendoza province in western
Argentina is a fertile utopia for producing world class grapes that insure
world class wines. “Malbec will make it big. By the year 2015, the greatness
of Argentinean wines made from the Malbec grape will be understood as a
given. This French varietal has reached startling heights of quality in
Argentina. Both inexpensive, delicious Malbecs and majestic, profoundly
complex ones from high elevation vineyards are already being produced,
and by 2015 this long-ignored grape’s place in the pantheon of noble wines
will be guaranteed.” With the strength of the dollar rising against the
Argentine peso, (the US Dollar against the Argentine Peso is 25% stronger
today than in 2007) many people are starting to question why exactly they
should not resettle here, where the leisurely days are filled with lots
of sunshine, siesta, and friendly Latin neighbors who greet you with a
hug and a kiss, and laugh with you, not at you, when you do not speak the
language well. |

 A
Day on an Argentine Ranch By Delores Johnson -
I knew I wasn’t in Buenos Aires anymore when everyone greeted me with “Buenos
Dias” instead of “Buen Dia” and said good-bye with an “Adiós” instead
of “Ciao.” I was in a rural area where the Spanish is not influenced
by Italian as it is in the large, metro area of the capital. I had
come to Corrientes Province to visit the Nature Reserve, Esteros del Ibera,
marshes that are a naturalist’s dream with hundreds of bird and animal
species. The name of the marshes, Ibera, comes from Guaraní and
means shining water. These marshes are one of the largest and richest
sweet water wetlands in the world. Here the water flows so
slowly that you cannot see the current. It drops at a rate of only
40 centimeters every 10 kilometers. Floating in the lagoons are drifting
islands of matted vegetation with soil about half a meter deep, but there
are 2 to 3 meters of water underneath these islands. |

 Notes
From The Road ~ Robin In Argentina ~ By Robin Sparks
- I'm not sure whose idea it was to paint lanes on Argentina's roads, because
they are systematically ignored. While I don't agree that Argentinean drivers
are some of the worst in the world, distinct lanes of traffic simply don't
exist. One drives where one finds or makes space. Another interesting
aside: In Buenos Aires the light turns yellow not only before it turns
red, but also before it turns green. That night, I open the fourteen foot
tall French doors of my room at The Malabia House to my balcony and sit
under the leaves of a sycamore tree. I am dressed in cotton pants, a sleeveless
cotton blouse, and sandals. I'm not cold and I'm not hot and there are
no bugs. The moon is full, and even after midnight, the city is buzzing,
cars and voices everywhere. The cafes overflowing with patrons. A
policeman stands at the corner in the shadows. |

 Living
In San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina ~ Real Estate And Life In Bariloche
~ By Douglas Harris - I guess the memory-legend-true
myth of our trip to Bariloche will always be “Let’s sell everything and
live here” this after about an hour looking out over Lake Nahuel Huapi.
Snowy peaks surround this lake of indescribable blue. The water so pure
you could drink it straight with no harm. The air is so clean, it recalls
a kind of genetic memory of a time when pristine actually described something
in your life. We, in the USA, live in a world of varying shades of gray.
The ’well-to-do’ exist in the lighter shades (of gray), but the rest of
us move in a darker world. We buy a Quadra filter for the air, a Brita
for the water, condoms to make love, we just try to survive to “Miller
Time”. Now, here was San Carlos de Bariloche and the rules had changed. |

 Buenos
Aires: Nourishing the Body - by Delores Johnson
- A little known fact is that Argentina has world class Spas and Hot Springs,
and they cost a fraction of what they cost in Europe or the United States.
I had only visited the Spas and Hot Springs in Hot Springs, Arkansas before
moving to Argentina. Ten years ago, a bath in the mineral waters
followed by a one hour massage to relieve tired muscles cost US $100.
This high cost is what kept me from visiting other Spas. Today in Argentina
that US $100 goes a lot further. My husband and I spent three nights
in a Hotel and Spa with its own Hot Springs, like the ones in Hot Springs,
Arkansas. There was a dry sauna, steam sauna, hot tub with whirlpool,
and indoor and outdoor swimming pools. We could use any of
these facilities any time we wanted during the twelve hour period per day
they were open, and we had two meals a day included at the hotel restaurant
which was excellent. |

 Undervalued
Argentina: Four Ways This Inviting Nation Makes Very Good Sense Today By
Barbara Perriello - Perhaps you dream
of a high-ceiling pied-a-terre in a cosmopolitan city… or a swath of land
where grape vines grow and you can walk for miles… Or maybe you long for
a mountain retreat where snow-capped peaks offer heart-stopping views and
world-class skiing… or perhaps you always imagined yourself a land baron
-- steward of a vast, productive expanse... Whatever your dream, you may
be pleasantly surprised to find there's one nation where it's not simply
attainable -- but remarkably affordable, too: Argentina. It's varied, beautiful,
sophisticated… and undervalued, which means it makes a lot of sense right
now -- whether you're in the market for a primary residence overseas, a
vacation home, or simply a smart investment. Recovering -- And Still a
Smart Deal - As you probably know, there was an economic crisis in Argentina
in 2002. And back then, if you'd flown down with greenbacks to spend, you'd
have found properties selling for next-to-nothing. |

 Nectar
of The Gods - Alfredo Roca wines in Argentina By Boughton Lloyd
- The vines present a myriad of greens, stretching as far as the eye can
see, to the snow capped Andes mountains on the horizon. It is hard
to believe that these achingly blue skies can, in a few minutes, turn to
a maelstrom of black, swirling clouds and rampant winds, thus potentially
destroying a harvest in seconds. Labels dance in the hot afternoon
breeze… Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Malbec, Bonarda, Sangiovese…the
reds. Chardonnay, Chenin and Tocai Friulano…the whites. Not
that Alejandro Roca, who is showing me around one of his vineyards, in
Argentina, needs them to identify the grapes…he can do that by the shape
and colour of the fruit, the size, hue and outline of the leaves.
He has been in the family wine business since he was ten years old, when
he learnt to drive the grape trucks, under the tutelage of his grandfather
Alfredo Roca. |

 With
Residency In Argentina, I Am A Member Of Mercosur - Residency In Argentina
By Delores Johnson - I see Mercosur as my
passport to living and working in the South American continent. By getting
my Argentine residency now, while it is relatively easy, I am making sure
that my family has greater freedom to live where and how it wants to. Many
people do not know what Mercosur is. I did not know before moving to Buenos
Aires eighteen months ago. Mercosur is a political and economic bloc of
countries, similar to the European Union. Five countries in South America:
Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela are members. Five other
South American countries are associate members: Bolivia, Chile, Colombia,
Ecuador, and Peru. Colombia signed an agreement at the end of 2005 that
moves it closer to becoming a full member. |

 Dreams
and Disappointments: Wine Investing in Argentina By Tim Leffel
- September 2006 “I’m going to open a winery!” How many times
have those fateful words been uttered, in English, French, Spanish, or
Italian? Close your eyes and you can almost see the glee on the entrepreneur’s
face as he imagines himself running this new enterprise. “After all, I
know a lot about wine,” he says. “I have the money to make it happen. I
have some good connections.” He kicks back in an easy chair, swirling a
glass of cabernet, picturing days of entertaining buyers, attending awards
banquets, and hobnobbing with restaurant owners. If you want to find
out where these gleams in the eye have been leading the past few years,
head to the Mendoza region of Argentina, where an exploding wine industry
and bargain prices have brought a flood of new development. |

 Inca
Sites, Indian Markets, Scarlet Tanagers, And Homes For $25,000 - The Best
Of Argentina’s Colonial Northwest By Steenie Harvey
- Everybody at International Living loves Argentina. The people from our
Central and South American offices jump at any chance to let you know about
its European-style exuberance... its flea markets… vineyard tours… tango-dancing…
and other great travel experiences. Right now, for example, you could buy
a studio apartment in the capital’s posh Recoleta district for $43,000...or
a loft apartment in a neo-colonial building with central patio in the antiques
quarter of San Telmo for $69,000. Although I couldn’t imagine dancing the
tango (or communing with penguins in icy Patagonia), everything about Argentina
seemed wonderfully appealing. But with all IL’s expertise already in place,
there was scant chance of me ever landing an assignment. |

 List
Of Offshore Banks - An offshore bank is defined by its location,
or 'jurisdiction'. An offshore bank is usually located outside of the depositors
country of residence, typically within a jurisdiction that levies very
low taxes, or no taxes at all. Each jurisdiction varies in its degree
of taxation, its degree of privacy, and its services. Offshore banks located
in politically and economically stable jurisdictions provide a safe-haven
for assets that may be at risk in the nation in which the investor lives
and holds residency. |

 How
To Disappear In Six Easy Lessons - Guerrillas In Our Midst - The Walled
City Of Cartagena, Colombia - For professional
reasons I read all the books on 'disappearing,' how to become a fugitive,
vanish, jump ship, go away, and not be found. Most of them are rubbish.
One failing they all have in common is telling the 'disappeared' what location
to choose once they jump ship. Most of them mention Costa Rica.
Disappearing in Costa Rica is like disappearing in Beverly Hills, and almost
as expensive. No one disappears in Costa Rica, except perhaps the
Costa
Ricans that you invest money with. If I were seeking a city where
I could live without being found it would be Havana, Cuba. Cartagena
would be a second cousin, a slightly poorer choice, but it would certainly
be on my list. - An article recently updated for the current political
realities that we face. |

type of electrical voltage is used in your destination country.
