🌍

Esquel is a small town of roughly 40,000 people near the mountains in Argentina. The climate is temperate. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,100. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet is generally reliable. People come here for skiing, hiking, quiet days.

È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. Gli affitti sono saliti di circa il 95% in cinque anni: chi arriva oggi non trova i prezzi di cui ha letto. Chi nasce in Argentina è cittadino, quale che sia la nazionalità dei genitori.
