"
Gosh....I was there this time last year - in Bariloche and Buenos Aires, and didn’t notice anything particularly negative..."
Did you drive from city to city with much open space between cities?
FerFAL's Argentina forum
I've seen some of the areas outside of tourist cities in Mexico and Central and South America. ...haven't been in Argentina, but the accounts from educated, once-middle-class citizens there are typical of areas outside of tourist cities in some of the other countries to our south.
Actually we flew from Bariloche to BA - and on the way into BA I noticed some high rise building that looked like that housed very poor people. I also noticed that the newly arrived poor basically put mattresses under bridges - that was home.
I wanted to go to Mendoza but heard that it’s dangerous to make that drive.
But just being sort of a high end tourist we didn’t see much obviously wrong.
I really loved it there. Too bad that below the surface there is so much wrong.
