Places in Argentina to Work Remotely according to Three Digital Nomads

Feet on the sand, a lake, or a river; eyes filled with mountains, beaches, jungles, and deserts; clothes adjusted to the season to live in nature without limits… Those are digital nomads’ feelings experienced on a daily basis while they fulfil their dream: working and travelling. This increasing trend keeps getting reinforced: being a digital nomad is no longer an aspiration, but an actual globetrotters’ reality. And Argentina’s landscapes are the perfect offices for that.

The pandemic challenged paradigms and sparked off debates previously unthought-of. More than one may have considered whether coming back to in-person work was actually necessary, and whether it was time to join these fearless people who had been practising remote working for a long time, but with a twist: travelling at the same time. If the office has become our garden or balcony, why couldn’t it be anywhere else on the map? With a stable job and no permanent address, digital nomads can make profits from anywhere if they have a good Internet connection.

Facu and Lau (@suenosderuta) travel with their son Río, born in the middle of an adventure around the world. They have over 84k followers on Instagram. They have been exploring the globe for years, and they have already covered the route Ushuaia—La Quiaca by bike. Today, after reinventing themselves due to the pandemic, they have incorporated remote work into their itinerary.

Flor and Juan (@rodandohacialalibertad), with more than 24k followers, have been going around the country for almost two years without a set time or destination, just following their heartbeats. Juan is an artist and makes all kinds of designs —one of his fixed clients is the famous rock band La Renga. They share their work and trips on social media and YouTube, and thanks to their channel’s growth, they have clients worldwide.

Mary and Guille (@loschicosdelaruta), with almost 11k followers, travel around Argentina in their motorhome and with their two cats. Yes, you read it right: when they decided to embark on that adventure, they welcomed two cats, Gris and Pelu. This digital creator couple demonstrates that pets are not an obstacle when you’re a nomad.

Now, what are the recommended destinations to organise your backpack, pack your work into a computer, and live in pure nature in the country with the End of the World?

Nono, Córdoba

An amazing spot in Traslasierra area. Córdoba always has a place on the Argentinian podium. Apart from offering panoramic views painted with sierras and green spaces in the background, it is also a great place for working far from the pavement.

Mary and Guille (@loschicosdelaruta) said, “This village has great connectivity, as well as a calm and hippie atmosphere.” Flor and Juan (@rodandohacialalibertad), who also recommended this destination, added that they “loved the Paso de las Tropas beach resort. It was our favourite: the crystal-clear water falls into the rocks, and they end up forming beautiful natural pools.” 

Purmamarca, Jujuy

It is impossible not to fall in love with this quaint village in Quebrada de Humahuaca when you walk around its cobbled streets, packed with craftwork fairs and admire the mountains that combine pink, red, and orange shades. Mary and Guille (@loschicosdelaruta) detailed, “It is incredibly wonderful: its landscape, its energy, and its people. Even though mountains surround it, it has great data accessibility, small bars with a good Wi-Fi connection, and a super cosy atmosphere. The office will be framed by the mountain Cerro de los Siete Colores itself.” 

Uspallata, Mendoza

This historical city is wrapped by the Andes Mountain peaks, in which the Aconcagua is the main figure. An ideal destination for those who want to work near vineyards (one of the province’s greatest attractions), with views to America’s highest summit.

Mary and Guille (@loschicosdelaruta) assured, “From here, you can go on extraordinary tours to the Aconcagua Provincial Park and Puente del Inca. You can also go to Chile. There’s great data connection and even free Wi-Fi in some places, like the Tourism Office, which provides a 24-hour connection.”

Sierra de la Ventana, Buenos Aires

A quiet village named after the funny form of Cerro Ventana, one of the several hills of the area that shows a natural window on the top. Can you picture the result? A unique landscape. It is also distinguished for preserving remnants of a historical past,x dating back to thousands of years ago, with archaeological deposits and cave paintings.

Facu and Lau (@suenosderuta) pointed out that they “loved it because Internet reception is great for working, and we saw dozens of birds, mulitas, capybaras, and ducks during the four days we spent there. We parked in two different spots of the Sauce Grande River. Swimming is allowed there: there are some deep areas, and others are suitable for everyone. You can also practise kayaking because the river is quiet.”

Valdés Peninsula, Chubut

Flor and Juan (@rodandohacialalibertad) said, “We’ve been there for a week, and we found a service station with great signal.” Working in one of the world’s major natural reserves is thrilling, to say the least. Valdés Peninsula, Southern right whales’ official home, offers an unprecedented natural environment, where orcas, whales, penguins, seals, and birds display a unique visual spectacle. They concluded, “The best spot to watch whales. It was an idyllic place to spend a week and work at the same time.” 

Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego

The main gate to get to Antarctica, the city located to the most southern extreme in the world: Ushuaia, the End of the World. That is enough to feel a strong desire to visit it. Still, apart from the natural sceneries and the vivid puzzle formed by the colourful roofs, it also offers perfect alternatives for remote working. Flor and Juan (@rodandohacialalibertad) claimed, “We chose Ushuaia for its natural beauty and the number of service stations with great Internet and phone connection —which is not always the case everywhere.”

They said, “Our favourite place is Tierra del Fuego National Park. We spent five days there, and it was mental. We worked in front of the Beagle Channel, so we’d walk along the coast when we got out. Over one side, we’d see the channel; on the other, we’d see mountains and snow peaks.”
