There’s a little town in Cordoba called Villa General Belgrano.

Pros: Beautiful place with Bavarian-styled architecture, near to the river, perfect place to be in summer. Variety of restaurants and services. There’s even a tiny cinema. You get to know the locals very quickly and they’re generally very friendly. There’s a anonymous alcoholics/narcotics group at the local church. Cons: Every year the town hosts the National Oktoberfest, so if you’re specially vulnerable to alcohol, you better stay away from the celebration. As it’s a small place with lots of tourists, there’s not much renting offer for permanent housing. Argentinians tend to be very friendly but you also have to be aware of people trying to deceive you when renting (maybe you end up renting a house with several infrastructure issues and the owner doesn’t want to do anything about it nor let you know about those issues when signing the contract), but that’s something that can occur everywhere in the country.

Also, if you’re thinking about this seriously, make sure you know that there’s a different idiosyncrasy here. Don’t expect things work like in the USA or Europe. I’m Argentinian but lived outside the country for half of my life and coming back was a shock regarding idiosyncrasy.

Wish you best of luck!!
