Argentina’s $500 Incentive to Digital Nomads

Last week I was invited at Mostrador Restaurant by the Argentinian Tourism Board, to enjoy a delightful dinner and learn more about their newest project for digital nomads.

I visited Mendoza a few years ago, on a very warm December. I remember what a great time I had there, visiting vineyards in the morning and enjoying massive asados in the evening. I went on a road trip around the Andes, climbing to the old pass between Argentina and Chile, I saw Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, I learned how to make empanadas, ate my weight in alfajores, and I spent some relaxing time at the wonderful Cacheuta Thermal Baths. I am still baffled by the fact that my hotel offered two hours of free glasses of Malbec wine every day, as part of their “Happy Hour”.

Some of the most wonderful moments in Argentina were spent surrounded by locals and travellers alike. And this is what the new digital nomad project is all about: connections.

Being a Digital Nomad in Argentina

During the past few years the number of digital nomads has increased. More and more people are combining their passion for travel with remote working, and more companies allow their employees to work from anywhere in the world.

So why not Argentina? Flying to Argentina from Europe is expensive, this is why many travellers choose to maximize their time and spend at least three to four weeks in South America. Those who decide to spend more than a month in Argentina will discover how affordable living here is. The rent for a studio flat in Buenos Aires starts at £250/month. Travelling by public transport in the capital of Argentina costs as little as 25p, whilst crossing the town from one side to another in an Uber is no more than £10.

Argentina attracts through its incredible gastronomy as well, with their mouth-watering asados accompanied by one of the best wines in the world, the Malbec.  

For winter sports enthusiasts, Argentina offers ski opportunities 8 months a year.

Another reason why Argentina is a great place for a few months, as a base for digital nomads, is the friendliness of the locals. As a digital nomad, you will never find it too hard to make friends with the locals. Argentinians are friendly and curious about their visitors, they organise a lot of social events, they also like to hear stories from abroad.

Tesoros Argentinos Program

The Tesoros Argentinos program is a great incentive for digital nomads who plan to stay in Argentina for longer than one month. The $500 gift card can be used in over 1500 experiences, from cultural to adventure tours to wellness days to gastronomy highlights, all over the country. The experiences have been curated by local tastemakers to help visitors understand the Argentine way of life and start living like them.

All you have to do to benefit from this program is register on the Argentina Travel website.
