Cost of living in Argentina

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 19:45:16 -0300

Argentina is a country that has inflation, much or little depending on the political moment, but it always has inflation, and it is a problem for all of us who live in this country, things change in price in a regular and ascending way.

It is less serious for those who receive income from abroad, because like inflation, the value of foreign currency also rises regularly and upwards (faster, slower, but always upwards).

How to get paid abroad and use Argentine Pesos (ARS) in Argentina

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 19:40:47 -0300

(at the time of writing this note) In Argentina the use of foreign currency is restricted, whether it is to deposit money in dollars or to withdraw money in dollars is something that must be done properly in order not to lose purchasing power, that is, that the money you have can be used to buy as many things as possible.

The reasons for these internal restrictions on the use of foreign currency are many, depending on the political ideology of the person explaining, the reasons are one or the other. In all cases the current situation is that there are restrictions on the entry of foreign currency, although it is totally feasible to make a transfer from abroad to an account in Argentina, the money you receive ends up being worth less through official channels than through unofficial ones (note that being unofficial does not mean that they are illegal, they are not).

Internet connection in Trevelin

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 19:28:36 -0300

In Trevelin there are two main internet providers: Next and Global Net (which is not the one from Zárate, in Buenos Aires). Both give a similar service, up to 8Mbps works fine, more than that may not always work unless you are inside Global Net’s fiber line, because that company (unlike Next) is from Trevelin, Next is from Esquel and their line is over the air.

My experience is that Next is more professional than Global Net from an installation, administration and support point of view, but from a service point of view (being over the air) both are “acceptable”. It really depends on where exactly you have the connection, if it has good coverage you’re set, but it’s a different story if you don’t, and there’s no way of knowing until you’re there.

Opportunities in Trevelin

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 19:21:45 -0300

In Trevelin, as in most places, there are opportunities. As always the issue is to find them, in principle what we see is that there are very few people with knowledge of technology. The truth is that the technological movement of the platforms is very dynamic, half vertiginous and also changes very quickly.

Everything related to real estate is something that can be worked on a lot. From being co-host of AirBnB (there is a lot of offerings of cabins for daily rent) to adding with the publication of lots to sell through Instagram. When you come from other places you see things through different eyes, seeing opportunities is not difficult with that lens. Trevelin doesn’t stop being a town and people who have lived there for a long time logically don’t know the offering of things in other more populous places, so aggiorning or publishing things locally that are attractive to people from other places can be something interesting.

The challenges of moving to Trevelin

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 19:15:42 -0300

Trevelin is a beautiful place, but it has its challenges, like all places, I suppose. In Chubut, for example, there are a little more than 2 people per square kilometer, so the commercial movement, the access to things is compromised because -precisely- there are no people to sell a lot to.

The biggest challenge for us was access to transitional housing. For others it will be other things such as health, children’s education, work or a place where they can buy land at an affordable price.

Health

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 19:08:03 -0300

The town has several places where one can be treated, the largest and most eye-catching of which is the public hospital, the Hospital Rural Trevelin John Daniel Evans, which is the main medical care center in the area. The hospital has a wide range of medical services, including emergency care, outpatient consultations, surgery, maternity and pediatric care, and palliative care. In addition, the hospital also has an ambulance service and an intensive care unit.

Real estate in Trevelin

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 19:57:24 -0300

In Trevelin there are several real estate agencies, they are all really very friendly, they don’t usually compete a lot with each other because it is not common for an owner to have her property in several real estate agencies at the same time. There are more real estate agencies in Esquel and they tend to have a lot of Trevelin properties in their portfolio.

The real estate agencies have a penchant for working with certain types of properties, for example fields, “rentals”, lots. We personally interacted with Wyn (Martin the owner, a great guy, he showed us everything, his son also works with him in the real estate agency, a genius too) and with Valle Creciente, with whom we were able to close a deal, Ariana is super friendly and super expeditious.

Schools in Trevelin

Sat, 17 Jun 2023 21:02:30 -0300

Even though Trevelin is a small town there are many schools, including English institutes. Unfortunately the province of Chubut has had many problems of government administration for many years and this makes strikes quite common. There are private schools, but they are much fewer and not especially better than the public ones. Remember that public schools are quite good in Argentina (in spite of what “people say”), outside the big cities they are the only option and the best teachers, the ones with the best vocation work there.

I want to go to Trevelin on vacation

Sat, 17 Jun 2023 19:47:47 -0300

Facilities in Argentina for digital nomads

Sat, 17 Jun 2023 12:47:52 -0300

Argentina introduced in 2022 a provision that allows those who wish to pass through the country as digital nomads a time of 180 days (6 months) to reside in the country.

Moving forward with this procedure, you can request a special permit that enables those who come to stay in the country for more than 3 months (tourist visa).

In this way your stay can be extended more than 3 months and at the same time you will not be with a tourist visa, but as a digital nomad.

I want to live there just a few months

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 19:07:35 -0300

Coming to Trevelin as a digital nomad is an excellent idea. Depending on what kind of life you want to have in Trevelin it is advisable to come in warm or cold months.

If you are looking for peace in the shelter of a warm space, perhaps a salamander burning some logs, winter would be best, of course. Also to have nearby for skiing or sledding in childhood style the options are La Hoya for skiing and/or Sierra Colorada for sledding and why not a horseback ride through the snow. Both places are less than 40 km. away.

What's so special about Trevelin?

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 18:29:16 -0300

In our case Trevelin was not the first choice, but then we realized that it was the most appropriate. The initial reasons were personal, some remote relative, some of the family history had ties with this place, but the most important ones were others:

Trevelin is an orderly town. Orderly in the sense that there is an urban planning, the lots are well delimited, everybody sells with a deed and there are many places where the real estate management is thought for the growth of the place. Services (water, electricity, gas, internet) are being brought everywhere and the existing networks are working well. Nearby (40km) there is a dam and high voltage cables can be seen passing in the distance. While I am not certain, the whole town must be supplied with electricity from there which means that the power does not go out. There are no settlements to be seen, nor are there any taken fields or spaces.

How we can help you move to Trevelin

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 18:17:35 -0300

We got here through the help of many people, a tip, a contact, a friend of a friend of a friend, a piece of advice, a little push, everything combined or isolated made us get here. Without that, the road would have been much more difficult or abandoned.

We can give you that hand, that piece of information or that advice. Why? for several reasons, the main one: to give back.

I want to move to Trevelin, Let's do it!💪

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 18:05:31 -0300

Trevelin, the town of the mill, a unique place (by the way it is called “Trevélin”, not “Trévelin” or “Trevelín” and even less “Tribilín”).

Excellent idea to move to Trevelin, there are many people thinking the same thing and you can, you just have to find a way.

The first thing I will tell you is that it is not easy to get a job in Trevelin, the population is not very big, so jobs are not plentiful. The ideal is that you work remotely and live here. Think that a flight Esquel <-> Buenos Aires (capital city) costs USD 140,- so if you have to travel from time to time is relatively affordable.

Places to visit

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The must-see spots in and around Trevelin, spanning Welsh history, nature and valley viewpoints.

Nant Fach Mill

On Route 259 towards the border, this flour mill is a replica built stone by stone by a descendant of the Welsh settlers, and it now works as a museum of the valley’s milling history. It’s one of the best-known images of the region.

Molino Andes Regional Museum

Right in town, the old early-twentieth-century flour mill houses the regional museum: original machinery and artefacts from the Welsh settlers and the valley’s Indigenous peoples. It’s the best introduction to Trevelin’s history.

Things to do in Trevelin

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Trevelin was named one of the Best Tourism Villages in the world by the UN World Tourism Organization, and it’s no accident: a town of fewer than ten thousand people packs in an extraordinary mix of nature, Welsh heritage and Patagonian flavours. Here’s a guide to what you can do throughout the year.

🌷 Tulip season (October and November)

Trevelin’s signature spectacle: every spring the tulip farm opens its gates and rows of colour stretch out against the snow-capped Andes. It’s one of the most photographed views in Patagonia and draws more visitors from around the world every year. Book accommodation early — the town fills up fast. When the weather cooperates, there are hot-air balloon rides too.

Trekking, hikes and trails

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Trevelin is surrounded by trails for every level: waterfalls, high mountain lakes, Andean forest and steppe. These are the must-do routes in the area.

Nant y Fall waterfalls

The most accessible classic. The Nant y Fall stream rises in Lago Rosario, winds across the steppe and, as it enters the Andean forest, drops through seven falls over 400 metres. The reserve has short trails, boardwalks and well-kept viewpoints; you can walk it in an hour or two, and it’s ideal with kids. It’s about 17 km from town, on the road to the border crossing.
