LOVE AND HATE ARGENTINA!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thanks so much for watching you lovely people!😊 If you liked the video, please give it a thumbs up👍🏼 it’s the easiest way for you to help our channel and means the world to us, see you on the next one!

[@bettyli6635]

Loved this video. I was in Argentina for 5 weeks in Nov/Dec and loved it too. I cheated and booked my flights (7) and buses (4) ahead of time and paid the official rate on my credit card. I loved doing the mini-trekking on Perito Moreno but I also loved (and hated) the Fitz Roy hike that took me a total of 12.5 hours. That last milometer over those boulders took me 2 hrs up and 1.4 hrs down.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Sounds like you had a well planned route around, flying is definitely best for limited time but less budget friendly. The hike to Fitzroy is so tough, especially that last bit, our timing was not great with the rain arriving 😅 so worth it though!

[@carlosgabrielli3928]

All those you disliked, those of us live here, suffer all the time. This is a beautiful country, unfortunately we are being governed by mediocre and corrupt people. Thank you for visiting and we hope that the next time you come, everything will be better. Greeting from Argentina and keep traveling the world !!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We met many locals that touched on this along the way, but the beauty and happiness definitely wins for all! ❤

Europeans are not used to traveling long distances, from Buenos Aires to Bariloche there is the same distance as from England to Spain, if we have doubts if someone is English or American, one way to identify them is to know what they think about distances, since for a American driving 20 hours is normal.

[@gregoriopuro]

Most people don't ride buses in America.. everyone has their own car.. 20 hours in a bus would kill the average American 😂

[@axelpap4613]

Hi guys, your videos were wonderful, stunning landscapes, I congratulate you, the report is excellent, cheers

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you Axel, we’re glad you have enjoyed the videos. We’re so excited to share our next adventures!

[@Explorcation]

Hey guys, sharing your experiences, the good and the bad are so helpful to others planning. I really enjoyed the scenery section, as it was a great reminder of all of the amazing places you have taken us to 🤩 Hearing more about the challenges with transportation and cash in Argentina does sure make me appreciate this series even more. You two definitely had to work to get to make of your destinations!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

We have our first 20 hour bus ride on Friday and not looking forward to it. Fingers crossed we don't get a smelly seat. I can't believe you had to wait 6 hours at WU. There's practically no limit in Ushuasia currently, but the wait is an hour. We'll have to be sure to get out more cash before we leave Ushuaia. Sounds like Calafate is not a great place to use a WU.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Good luck with the bus! Yes get cash out in Ushuaia it’s so much easier there, that was our biggest mistake leaving Ushuaia without getting more cash out before going to El Calafate. You’ll be so glad you did when you see the lines in the street in El Calafate at WU. Enjoy Ushuaia!

Everybody smoking? It sounds like heaven puff puff. I love it ❤

[@marm317]

Como siempre excelente video y edición chicos!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Muchas Gracias!

[@mgk284]

You missed IBERA Wetlands ( on the north east) if you like nature and scenery.Also you could go on a boat to see Whales , and dive with sea lions on Puerto Madryn.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We had to choose to travel along the East or West and the time of year meant it wasn’t likely we’d see whales so we chose our route with that I mind. One day when we come back hopefully we can do it then ☺️

[@ibunker8533]

Nice review guys! Greetings from the Patagonia!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you ☺️

[@DenaKivett]

You have no idea how much I have enjoyed watching your videos. I am coming to Argentina in November, solo. I was nervous, but after seeing the two of you I feel I can do this. Thank you so much. You both are so awesome. I would love to bump into you in a foreign country sometime. So, if you ever run into a slightly older American (who is really cool) and a big fan, It's me!!!!!!!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. We’re so happy to know you will visit Argentina, you will love it, it is full of fun and friendly people. Maybe we’ll bump into you on an adventure somewhere someday! Happy travels 😎✈️

[@gregoriopuro]

Iv'e been watching many of your Videos... You guys do an excellent job.. thanks for smiling 😊so much .

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you so much 😀 we’re so glad to hear you enjoy them!

[@TheAverageTourist]

It seems like the loves outweigh the hates - or at least they would for me. The nice people, food looked pretty good, the scenery is amazing!! I do think the cash situation would be quite annoying though and I hate carrying cash when I travel and when I'm at home. And the car situation could be bad if you got stranded. The buses seem like they are ok, though a little inconvenient with their routes - except for that disgusting one!! You guys really spent a lot of quality time there and I've loved seeing it through your experiences.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We really enjoy spending a long time in a country and getting to know it well. The cash situation is one that we definitely don’t miss, although we still find we need some cash in other countries but at least it’s easy enough to just get it from an ATM.

[@lynnelloyd-williams6906]

Great info I agree with craig the glacier is awesome

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you 😊 It’s a sight that will stay with us forever!

[@MattandRachelTravel]

Appreciate the honest insight! Sounds like lots of logistical issues to watch out for.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes, the logistics of travelling this part of the world are crazy!

[@mariajulitacaro5086]

Hi ☺ 🙋 amigos ! Cuantos paisajes increibles ! 🌺🌴

[@TideKnotTravellers]

¡Tanto que ver en Argentina! 🤩

[@jeffhampton2767]

A lot of it looks like the United States like Colorado and Montana and Idaho and Northern California. Very similar.

[@adanmiller890]

And Utah

[@claudiopiazza3793]

Controls are not the same throughout the country, 2 weeks ago I went from Córdoba to San Luis, I did 1000 km on the whole trip and I did not find any control, other times I did 200 km and they stopped me at 3 controls, I think it depends a lot on the province you are

[@estudiantes68]

Hi! Under the new government (Milei), the official dollar rate has gotten closer to the "blue" rate. Today (November 1st 2024) the blue and the official dollars are at 1,190 and 1,013 pesos respectively. The new administration is trying to unify both rates. I loved it that your "hates" have to do with things that can be fixed. It would have been worst if you found nothing interesting to see, or or if you didn't like the food or how people treated you. Thank you for showing my country! I've also enjoyed yours!

[@COMPASS_MDP]

Hi guys I've enjoyed your videos about your travelling around the country; most of times, local people doesn't realize how beautiful and broad gallery of landscapes and cultural offerings (in terms of way of living, foods, arts, etcetera) in the different regions; it might seem odd (in a good way) but watching you people discoverying places and describe them with your own words is quite a refreshing experience; thanks for that. And, talking about complications and lacking of this or that facility, is something that any country has but, as you said, if good points are more and stronger than the bad ones, is always worthy to try making your own path, as you did: not being standard tourists, searching for standard experiences, being protagonists of real tourism, instead of expectators of a tailor made show for lazy or short timed travellers. And, finally, i'd like to make a suggestion to improve the experience of knowing a given place (Argentina in this case but also for any other) and make it more "immersive" and complete, for you people but also for your viewers: To add some historical references and cultural review, if relevant according to the place, could be something like a "service" which helps the viewer getting some more than a beautiful landscape's view. And, i think more interesting, make some reactions to te culture of the country you're visiting, like music and to compare the approaches to things between local artists and what you're used to consume, pop music, for instance; i think you would open a window which can show you an immaterial landscape, as amazing as the material one. Just a suggestion for you to give some "differential" to your content, and making it more comprehensive and appealing. Greetings from Argentina

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you for such a lovely comment. We have enjoyed travelling around so much and learning as we go. It’s not easy to make your own path travelling but it’s so rewarding to see places in your own time, we feel lucky to have had the time to see it this way. Thank you for the ideas too, it’s so helpful to receive constructive feedback and we’re so glad you enjoy the videos we make. 😊

[@JCRios-bz1jc]

As an Argentinian living in New York for 40 years, I say I'm sorry you had a bad experience, Argentinian people are friendly and work hard bad we don't know how to choose good governments, so corruption is number one, waiting to improve with a new one! Hope that, after all you had a good impression!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We had the best over all experience, way more to love than not 😍

[@volkssturmer5820]

Remember...When the Nu k3s soon b3gan to rain in your northern hemispher, youll be wishing to be in Argentine Patagonia🌲. The last pristine sanctuary.

[@boni5276]

Nice video!!! The flights in Argentina are expensive because the government (Kirchnerismo) doesnt want competition to his state airline wich is Aerolineas Argentinas that airline its the owner of the sky in Argentina and they dont want other companies becuase they loundry money with it. Corruption :)

[@fredericmozorsky69]

You should keep in mind that most of the cars in Argentina are imported. That's why they cost so much. For cash I recommend cryptocurrency exchange houses.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes, it certainly makes hiring more expensive. We’ve heard a few people mention cryptocurrency but we know nothing about it.

[@claudiopiazza3793]

Many cars are manufactured in Argentina, cars are imported from Brazil and Argentina also sells cars to Brazil, the problem with the price is the amount of taxes.

[@fredericmozorsky69]

@@claudiopiazza3793 la mayoría de insumos cerca del 80% para se exactos son importados. Da igual donde se fabriquen.

[@supersnapp]

Wow $40 per day. That does not at all match the general cost level in Argentina.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

£40 a day, which is even worse, closer to $50. You’re right it’s so disproportionate to other costs there.

[@pg618]

On the negative I would add two more, dogshit on the sidewalks and the telephones. How do you get your sim card and then charging it and recharging it very very confusing worst I've seen in any country I've ever been to. Oh but I must add that I do not understand why do people in other Latin countries think of argentines as arrogant? I have not had that experience in months and months and months. I really enjoy the kind and friendly people of Argentina.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes you’re right we did see quite a bit of 💩 in BA and Salta (surprisingly not in El Calafate despite many street dogs). Yes getting getting our SIM card topped up was a minefield, we got sent to so many shops and had no idea which plan we were supposed to buy, the people selling them were completely confused too 😅 we definitely didn’t experience arrogance in Argentina either, mainly friendly, welcoming people ☺️

[@jeffhampton2767]

You keep talking about how huge Argentina is and the United States is three times the size of argentina. You can fit three Argentinas inside the United States.

[@methodos100]

Nunca entenderé porqué alguien ama Argentina.

[@jeffhampton2767]

It sounds like you two want a cashless society and a new world order. You must live in a police state like Australia or England 🤔😆😆😆
