"We're still here.. We are not going anywhere." ~ Native Americans 😔 My jaw dropped as I learn, mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans, and their population in Continents of America 500 yrs ago was around 15 millions, while European population in Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native Americans population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLIONS'! A sad truth. In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners indigenous Native American people. All they, indigenous Native people need is their beloved motherlands back, the lands that their ancestors' forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for tens of thousands of years. True, notorious global cardinal crimes Anglo West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤔
@@lonesomealaskan2599 Yer I agree with you , also give back London to white londoners who are now the minority in their capital city . Also the city’s of Birmingham, the second biggest city in the UK along with many other city’s in the UK who have suffered mass immigration from Africa, Middle East, and Asia . The English was never asked if they wanted mass immigration on an industrial scale they wasn’t even consolidated. By the year 2060 the white indigenous English will be the minority in their own country. Please do not forget The Native American Indian was also a slave owners .
@@supersonicsid5930 "Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization" are all evil things done and benefited by evildoers. Anglo West/Christian Europeans are major participants and benefactors of centuries-long global, - Slavery, - Colonialism, - Colonization worldwide, from North/South America to Australia/New Zealand to Siberia/Far-East Asia, to this day. 🤔
Even with corruption & bad governance. The major roads are tarred, smooth and clearly marked. Power seems reliable, they even have drinking water coming from their taps. The streets are clean and organised, the buildings aren't dilapidated and the locals are friendly. Things can't be that bad. You remarked how you were getting good value for your money. The population is not big or small,its moderately sized. They have a bright future... Loving those super blue skies and dazzling white cotton clouds.
Sadly, Argentina is far from a bright future it it continues the trend that has been following for some decades now. Socialism, corruption and bad government have been ruining it to the point that everyday it's worse and worse for them to live. And the ultimatum is that argentinians simply don't understand how powerful the country could be, because politics brainwash them. I'm not from there, I'm from Uruguay, however I've got family there. Prices from the outside may seem super good but for them it's really hard. People that had a good economy are now in tight budget or are moving to other countries (Chile, Uruguay or Paraguay), and the ones who had it hard are now poor or extremely poor. The country looks good because it is indeed a beautiful country and had a really good wealth so big cities look really good. But once you start getting into the newer areas or poorer areas you will see there is a huge problem there. It's just scary because I honestly can't see their future with how economy has envolved nowadays.
It truley is socialism. Huge state, around 18 % of working citizens are emplyed by the state, masive social planing draing the states budget, compensating with exagerated money printing, generating 3rd largest inflations rates in the world, over taxed population, really bad diplomacy, complicating comercial interactions, being friends with Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Russia and China, and the list goes on. Ive heard someone say, only socialism can leave cuba without sugar, venezuela without oil and argenina without meat.
Man here's the deal, you have a gift. Crowds and social things may not be your deal (not mine either) but you do have a skill (knowledge and languages) -- that the average person doesn't. You aren't scared to get off the beaten path and explore and interact with people.......... curiosity is a driving force and it's kept me sane I know. For people who never see or experience the geographies you travel, the people you meet, or the cultures you explore, this is like a present or a gift from you to us. I for one and probly everybody else who watches want to thank you! Filming can be a pain in the ass but it opens a world to many who would never be able to see whats out there. So keep being you man, we don't need any high frills production , the gold is you just being real. 'preciate ya!
wow nunca he visto vlogers que vayan a los pueblitos de Argentina y se interesen tanto en nuestra cultura, posta muchísimas gracias por mostrarle al mundo lo que somos y ojalá puedas seguir visitando las bellezas de nuestro país, de norte a sur
Miraste el primer video que hizo en argentina! ? En once! ? Fíjate esta la opción de traducir en la descripción de ese video! Te aseguro que el va a seguir viniendo! Y va seguir viajando por argentina! 😀😄
@@Satthpry lo Q traduje me lo parece la mejor reflecccion de el! Gracias 😊 Pero también tenés que ver sus videos de África , Q sin súper interesantes! Así también conoces a Miss Josey! Que también tiene Canal de RUclips!
One of the few RUclips travel channels that i always look forward to watching, All i know is a Gaucho without a dog couldn't be a real a Gaucho. Happy you found the old Gaucho, he is the real deal. That's the thing about most people who live out in the campo/ country. They will almost always take the time of day to share their lives and answer questions about their life ways. born a city boy myself who left that life years ago, I have lived in cowboy country for over 50 years now, a place where the desert meets the High Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, though not a cowboy myself, Horses, dogs and Gauchos have always been part of my daily life, i am a dog kinda guy.as dogs being both human's and horses best & loyal friends. Being up there in my years at 70 and physically worn out from a physical life, i really enjoy your travels to many off the wall places, some i have visited & many i've always wanted to travel too, showing your viewers a world through your interests & eyes that we may otherwise never see nor appreciate. Keep up the fantastic Bon voyage & Ciao for now.. from a Death Valley Denizen & subscriber out in the wild west .
The culture of the gaucho still lives on in the countryside, mostly because people over there keep performing jobs related to cattle husbandry and horse tamming as per in the old days. Gauchos golden days were back on the late 1800s and early 1900s when the countryside was mostly an open grass range with large ranches here and there without fences to divide them, and further out there were aboriginal lands. The gaucho had to travel, live and work in the open for several days and across many miles in solitude mustering, herding, selecting, marking along with his horse and maybe a few dogs or none. So that's why the gaucho has such a strong bond to horses, land and tradition which I'm pretty sure it's not much different from cowboys in the US, isn't it?
@@JuanPablo-kj9dg Hi Juan, I think small cattle operations work much like traditional did. A lot of corporate ranches these days cowboys ride ATV's and Gaucho dtyle horse breaking is a seperate thing, also these days many recreational cowboys with hobby horses like pets.
I recomend you to watch the video "Argentina desde el aire" Argentina from the air. It will blow your mind with wonderful landscapes ruclips.net/video/aKH_lqQnCzg/видео.html
@@TheLordboki Cool, I didn't know that Croatia looks similar. The only problem in Summer is so much heat in rural areas and Buenos Aires city (except in Patagonian Region). Bleesings
@@mharg6408 Yeah, same here. Heat gets well over +30 C in summer. But this place looks a lot wetter than my area so even worse, because heat + moisture = hell.
I'm from Italy but I worked in Buenos Aires microcentro from 2011 to 2012, and it's very true that once you knew Argentina, the desire to go back there lasts a lifetime...
@@samuelsop371 And what about people from latin America that aint whites?? ( Paraguayos, Peruanos, Bolivianos, ect..) how you behave for people with dark skin?? I ask it because I've heard that Argentinians are racist against non whites..I wonder if it's true
I miss Argentina. I lived there over two stints in 2013/2014 with an ex, but you're right....the problem is always issues with the economy. When I went the first time, all of her friends and family asked that when I came back to please bring US dollars (I'm Australian and didn't really realise how the ban on USD at the time worked) so they could try and save. I ended up taking a few thousand USD back the next time and they were trying to give me way more cash than the official rate. Needless to say there was no way I was going to take those black market prices, just what it cost me and they were extremely grateful as it made a big difference for them.
Well if you gave them a 1000 usd at official price they made an extra 1000 on the black market when sold. Around 100 per dollar for oficial rate, around 200 per dollar in street market. You cant change more than 200 usd per month at official rate plus taxes, that takes it to some 170 pesos per dollar. So in reality you can only change useful sums of dollars at the black market. you did them a big favour, but you kinda lost a lot of money there (only usable in argentina, since when you change it back you wont get the offical rate). If any one visits, bring cash, people will give you almost double of what the bank gives.
As an Argentinian those words at the end made me cry. Its a devastating sight to see how fast this country is deteriorating, even if by some miracle we change the course we are heading it will take generations to stand up again.
Hombre hay una deuda al FMI de 44 mil millones de dólares, tomada en 2018, más otra de más de cien mil millones tomada a privados y encima nos cae una Pandemia, a pesar de eso el año 2021 se recupera el crecimiento a niveles de 2016 y obvio no es el paraíso, pero se está recuperando.
@@ElCardoAzul te comiste que la argentina entro en decadencia en el 2018? Antes era Suiza esto no? Contate otro. Son décadas de empobrecimiento económico y sobre todo cultural.
@@ElCardoAzul Totalmente de acuerdo con vos El Cardo, algunos te pueden decir que te comiste el ralato K, pero ellos se comieron el relato de los que son dueños invisibles de la Argentina, que a traves de sus medios de comunicacion les alimentan el odio y el anti-Argentinismo mientras se fugan las divisas prestadas de afuera que despues los que se quedan en Argentina tienen que pagar... esos votan a un salame que dinamita todo lo que logra y despues se sorprenden.
Argentina was richer than Canada and roughly equivalent to the US (in per capita GDP terms) in the 1930's. At that point in history it was just as desirable a destination for overseas migrants. Sadly, decades of military dictatorship and economic mismanagement changed that. Still a great country culturally, but some substantial squandered economic potential.
Por los intereses de otros países! En Q nos valla mal. Cómo dice Soros "Si un país llamá mucho la atención atraerá capitales especulativos para perjudicarlo!"
This guy has this uncanny ability to ignite the interest for viewrs to watch all his travel programs. He covers unchartered places, locations where typical tourist dare not venture. But his demenour , the amiableness and the positive energy he radiates when narrating, makes the viewers to keep watching his programs forever. He does not come across as a Loud rhetoric expressive narrator. But his down to earth approach and frankness to the viewers is just extraordinarily unique. What makes it addictive is his approach and the way he talks to the locals in their own languages which is mind blowing. And another gift he carries is the locals just feel good talking to him. Excellent bro. Sincere comments. Vick from Singapore.
He really does make the other travel tubers look super unsophisticated. He's not disrespectful to women or objectifying(like a lot of the guys who go to latinamerica and Asia in particular). He doesn't get wasted or look for prostitutes and doesn't wander around aimless doing shit like buying random trinkets and annoying locals. More often than not, he knows the local language if not fluently then enough to have no issues. He's a CLASS act. I'd marry him lmao
You are the exact type of traveller that I like to watch. No big flash, not trying to impress us. Just everyday content with your excellent background knowledge. Your grasp of languages is very impressive too. I just started watching your stuff, so I'm bingeing.....also love the way you number your videos. Nobody else does.
Me gusta verte recorrer lugares que ningún otro viajero muestra. Normalmente los extranjeros graban siempre lo mismo pero vos te adentras en lugares que nunca se ven en ningún otro canal de RUclips.
Hat off to you ! I am amazed how correct and precise your impressions of Argentina are. It is a pleasure to see a tourist so respectful of the local culture. Saludos desde Códoba.
i AGREE ON THIS; We are tired of fake guys, editing to much, and filtering to show only some parts... happy to see authenticity everytime you push a new video online brother ! Take care !
Once you have been 1 time to Argentina,the country will be pulling on you to come back. I am very lucky,my wife is from Argentina and i go every year middle november untill middle february to Argentina. Such a great country with such a friendly people. I can only recommend it to visit at least 1 time in your life Argentina, and i am sure you never forget it.
I love the fact that Tommy speaks in every native tongue 👅 that he visits and that alone is freaking awesome !!! Takes dedication , respect and care to actually take the time and learn the languages and culture Love your content..New subscriber for sure 👍 looking forward to next adventure
Very nice video! i recommend you to visit San Antonio de Areco in buenos aires province, is a town where they celebrate tradition, full of gauchos, if you want to see a full gaucho experience you have to go there, sorry if my english its not 100% good haha, im from Chaco province and we dont really have much except in the south where its where the money its made, and we have "Campo del cielo" a national park where they have the second biggest meteorite in the world, i hope you keep coming to argentina and showing the countryside that no many people show.
It's amazing how your personality seem to quickly adapt to your environment...being from NYC you do the us proud with you world Travel...the world loves ❤ you...

My favorite You Tube Channel! This one was interesting. My Grandpa was a gaucho. he would break horses and farmed. Much like the senor you interviewed. Much respect for that work and way of living
Love your videos! I miss Argentina (and most of South America) and what you do so very well: the one-on-one interaction with the local folks and their cultures. Looking forward to your next edition. Thanks and Che, Macanudo!
There is a lot of gaucho culture in Argentina right now, if you're interested this is the season of gaucho's parties, carnivals a,d even competitions in different kind of horse related sports. I love visiting Manzanares (a little rural town in Buenos Aires) during this season because you can feel the traditionalism festivity in the air. You should check about traditionalism gaucho festivities, seriously there are a lot during this season, there are even gauchos from Paraguay, Brazil and Uruguay competing
And he can go to the most biggest celebrations during the summer time, wich are Cosquín and Jesús María, in the province of Córdoba. There's a lot of Gaucho Culture and hundreed thousand people visiting and enjoying the way of life they have as a country workers and country people.
Seems well developed. Only one area you showed was sketchy in another video. Great that you can just talk to people in whatever language they speak in so many different countries. Don't forget your Swahili, ok!! Everyone in this video was very chill and helpful. Enjoyed it a lot.
I'm sure he told you when you weren't rolling but for those that don't know ill throw some insight. The Facon (or gaucho knife) that Mr.Mancilla shows tom is used on the lower back and tied with a cloth piece so its easily accessible whilst riding a horse. Its original purpose was to help with the daily chores of the countrylife but it also served as a weapon to fight between gauchos and to butcher the occasional pig or lamb.
Thanks, Tomas, you're a goodwill ambassador to a lot of different countries. It's quite a calling! Not many people are open-minded enough or big-hearted enough to find so much to appreciate in other people.
I've been watching your vlogs for weeks now and your one of the most laid back vloggers out there, loved the Patagonia video, that is one place I would love to explore, im in Manchester UK but have Welsh connections and I believe there is a Welsh community still there to this very day
They are still there... I mean they created most of the towns in the Chubut Province... Trelew, Rawson, Trevelin, etc, All founded by Welsh people and there are small communities of Welsh descendants that still speak welsh... pretty cool
This is definitely my favorite channel as if I were dreaming in real time, traveling in quiet steps through Renaissance picturesque landscapes and suddenly entering in the Picasso corner in an abstract way. The flow of energy is magical and sincere...Stay with those steps and let the story go on for a long time. Greetings from the Republic of Macedonia~oO.o
Having a real look into parts of this planet most westerners would never travel, with no hidden (or not hidden) agenda is a rare thing to come by these days. Your videos are awesome! Thank you for providing for us an organic glimpse outside of our immediate confines!
Excellent! Thanks Tommy. I’m leaving the US end of February this year. You have inspired me to add Argentina to my short list of countries to explore for 2 or 3 months.
@@Unruly6ixx yes, technically “retired” but I like keeping busy doing fun stuff. I have a question for you: what’s behind this curiosity about my financial status? You work for the IRS?
If you want to know more about the gaucho culture, read the Martin Fierro, I’m sure there should be an English version, it’s an epic poem written by Jose Hernandez, and it’s part of our national identity. It narrates the contribution the gaucho had to the national development. You can also el read some amazing short stories from Jorge Luis Borges, one of the best (the best for me) writter Argentina gave to the world, like “Biografria de Tadeo Isidoro Cruz” or “Historia de Rosendo Juárez”, you can’t go wrong with Borges, he was a genius.
Hermano, la historia gaucha esta muy glorificada, solo es un instrumento para brindar identidad nacional a los grupos desfavorecidos en la zona provincial que ya es obsoleta para ello porque ya no nos identificamos con eso, es una mentira teñida de historia. Hasta su contribución en batalla no fue reconocida hace 200 años, mucho menos su "identidad" ahora.
@@sublimeeinsano6320 Que comentario fuera de lugar, me parece que no recorriste demasiado el pais no? si te parece que la cultura gaucha no existe mas es porque no has visto mucho. Un solo dato, la cantidad de festivales guachescos que ahora mismo hay por todo el pais hablan de ello.
Thanks for showing us parts of Argentina off the tourist route. Two separate comments. 1. You probably already know that Argentina and Australia were once maybe 120 years ago thought of as countries with similar opportunities, but now have vastly different outcomes for the people. 2. I chase weather and storms as a hobby and the north and west (like Cordoba, Resistensia) of Argentina is probably the 3rd most favourable place on earth after USA Mid West and Bangladesh for organised severe storms. Having been there you may say "but Uganda has lots of storms", and yes lots more than Argentina, but we are talking Quality vs Quantity. I often look at the storm prospects in Argentina in Mid October to mid December. Buenos Aires is not so good , but frequency picks up from Rosario north and west ward.
I suppose different parts of Uganda have more storms than others. Lake Victoria and the wetter areas have the most "Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and an economic and food security lifeline for roughly 30 million people living near its shores in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. But it also takes lives. Cyclical, daily weather patterns around the lake create violent nighttime thunderstorms that kill roughly 3,000 to 5,000 fishermen per year. “This is definitely one of the stormiest places on Earth,” said Wim Thiery, a climate scientist at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel who has studied Lake Victoria for several years. “Almost every night, you see these intense thunderstorms and sometimes even water tornadoes developing over the lake because it’s a really favorable environment for storms.”
hahaha it really is like that friend. In the north of Córdoba and in the mountains we have very strong storms after the long drought that lasts between 7 or 8 months. When those storms arrive, we tend to unplug the electrical devices because the storms are excessively electric, a lot of lightning strikes and with the thunder it seems that the world is ending haha. many times it ends up cutting the electrical network and the satellite signal as well.
0:54 That is interesting, in Peru a Colectivo is the word used to describe a van or small bus that travels within the city, then the larger buses were called Autobuses and they went to other cities. That is how it was in Cusco back when I lived there anyways. Great video, the fact you can make a living doing this is inspirational. I am actually going to Argentina in 2 months to travel and teach some English so I will be paying attention to your channel for useful info. Thanks for the videos!
Yes, it does because of the Italian immigration during the Great Migration. Three out of four Italians immigrated to Argentina. A large part of the food and culture are Italian as well.
Sabbatical, no se si leerás esto, pero si algún día llegas a volver a la provincia de Buenos Aires te recomiendo mucho visitar Las Sierras (It's not a city, thats the name of the area of little/short mountains that Buenos Aires has). You find beautiful landscapes which in my opinion look similar to the ones in South Africa but they are mixed with quite a big variety of Cities, Towns and Cultural places. Wether or not you read this comment and end up visiting this places, I just wanna say THANK YOU not only for showing our country to the world but also for being an amazing personality to watch on this platform. UN ABRAZO GRANDE.
27:22 the word is "cencerro", it's the name of the bells on cows usually. I just love these videos of yours, they help me remember why I love my country despite the economy... it's just like you said, it's always the economy 😢
I was raised a horseman fourth generation so I find this very interesting. You got to see some of the tack and those are cattle dogs. The cattle dogs nip at the cows legs and move them into a herd to a pen or place as you direct them. The horses were interesting. They don't use wild horses they bred them on the farm, possibly horse farms. They are then broken to be handled by people and to wear the tack as the saddle and bridle. Then you teach them how to interact cattle with you directing them. We had tack rooms where grooms and horsemen would sleep and eat. They get up at daybreak and check the horses to feed them and in stalls muck out the stalls. The dogs get fed then you mount up and check the cattle to see how they are doing moving them to a new grazing spot. Its a rough life yet it has its merits. It was fun seeing you talk with the horseman he was pretty typical as they learn patience and good humor working with the animals. It was fun seeing you "game" to give the lasso rope a try.
¡Hola! Greetings from Finland. Nice video from Argentina. Regarding to the tap water a fact that you might not know yet. Finland has probably the purest tap water in the world, through out our small country. Thanks mate, I'll continue watching your interesting videos. Now I'd really like to see Argentina myself.
I was supposed to go to Argentina for a fishing trip this March. Had to cancel due to COVID and the difficulty of traveling with the restrictions. Your videos sure make the country look interesting. Thanks for posting.
Have you ever considered doing a Q&A livestream ? I think it would be entertaining to know more about your background and hear about behind the scenes stories.
Idk how I got a recommended to watch your videos. At first I was really confused but after watching a few more you can see you have extensive language knowledge. I have done similar things when traveling with a camera but it just feels so awkward and you don’t get to enjoy your time as much. Thank you for putting this out there. It really is a look into the good, the bad and the cringe. You remind me of a friend of mine, fearless but respectful. Be safe, Argentina is beautiful but it doesn’t seem to be the easiest place to travel to right now.
@@lukecole5056 I am not so good at the Geography of Argentina , there was a BBC Wales Special on the Community there about 10yrs ago and that learning Welsh was on the rise, to such an extent that non-Welsh ancestor folks were sending their kids to the Welsh School
@@andysing72 Yeah, it was probably in the Chubut province. Welsh people basically founded that province and all its towns like Madryn, Trevelin, Esquel, Rada Tilly, Rawson and many others. There are welsh schools and welsh communities there. Pretty cool
@@andysing72 Surely it was in Chubut province, around 2000 km away from there. But you can find Welsh roots in Rio Negro province also, in Luis Beltran city, and in Coronel Suarez (Buenos Aires province). Greetings from Argentina !!
I couldn't help but smile the entire duration of the video. I like how you achieved your goal of meeting a gaucho, even though the process was a bit awkward but also wholesome. I'm enjoying your content a lot, greetings from Buenos Aires ❤
I would love to come to Argentina for some reasons but the biggest reason is that my great grandad is buried in Buenos Aires. He left the Balkans and took the boat to Argentina in 1928 and never came back. So I would love to come one day and hopefully find his grave if that's even possible in Argentina. Maybe I even have cousins over there 😂
Many Eurpean people have cousins here in Argentina. It could be a great plan to travel here in your vacations and found part of your family. One of my best friends is grandson of a Hungarian couple.
Do you know when did he die? Did he die in Buenos Aires city, or the suburbs? He had any family here? Work? I’d love to help you find out about him, I’m very into genealogy haha. The thing with cemeteries here is that your family has to pay for the upkeep of your tomb space, so if he didn’t have any family here perhaps he was cremated by the government and that was it.

Gauchos ussually are workers who lives in productive properties, owned by greater landkeepers. They are who you call the farmers. Nothing different about that. Of course, argentinian farmers has their own living style, as the small town inside the provinces people. Best from BsAs
As an argentino living in the USA. I feel inspired to leave this place and finally come back home and do the exact experience you are doing. This is how I imagine going back. ❤
your content is so good that I forgot to like it and ended up only giving it in the last few minutes of the video, that shows how immersive your content is
Típico de pueblos, lo de la antena jeje o son las tormentas o algún señor que se lleva puesto el transformador eléctrico y nos deja sin luz en pleno enero. Cosas lindas ❤️
Sure wish you had more time to visit the pueblos and aldeas in Argentina. I use to dream of visiting Argentina, Uruguay and the cattle country in Brasil. Time and responsibilities crept up on me and I ended up retiring in Central America some years back. Now I'm too old to do any real riding on the pampas, but it's hard to shed the old dreams. Thanks for the vicarious visit.
Hey Sabbatical! Just one thing about the 9:35 part. Tap water is not safe in all over the country, only in some places. For example, if you go to La Costa in Buenos Aires, you'll find tap water to be contaminated with salt from the sea
Hey Tom very Nic e video.. Argentina looks like a beautiful country.. The people seem very friendly and helpful. Stay safe. Greetings from Weeki Wachee.
If only more people were as open minded and well traveled as you, the world would be a better place. Your awesome! From speaking various African dialects to Spanish, what a gift
Great Video! My Mom's uncles were OG guachos from Areco. I grew up with Guacho paraphernalia on the walls of our living room. I haven't been to Argentina in over 20 years. Your videos make me want to be there eating a Choripan or a bifé de chorizo! jaja thanks!
dude, consider a Q/A video. I'm sure a lot of people would love to ask you questions about how you have come to where you are in life etc. Thanks for the content, missing the East African adventures.
Great video man, just the tiniest correction: at 27:22 the man is refering to the bell, and not the horse, when he says "se llama cencerro". "Cencerro" is what you'd call a cowbell or similar, such as in this case.
Definitely it is an attractive time to visit while its hot weather. Cheers from the cold Finland (just barely below freezing point...). The flights just seem to be really expensive to do a short(ish) trip.
@@leandro2873 Haha well having AC should help with the heat. I would love some sun and heat before returning to this cold, dark and depressing weather we have here now :D
Thanks for the video my friend. I totally agree with you that Argentina is a great country. I've known a lot of foreigners that have fallen in love with Argentina.
Sabbatical, another beautiful one from you . There is something about your videos that just makes them beautiful. One thing for sure is your narration is not devoid of innuendo and you state throngs just the way they are, you are also calm and non-judgemental( remember the druggies you visited!). But above all, you show us places not many would visit. I loved seeing the Argentine countryside since I only spent time in BA when I visited years ago. I plan to comeback someday and visit Tigre….

"We're still here.. We are not going anywhere." ~ Native Americans 😔
My jaw dropped as I learn, mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans, and their population in Continents of America 500 yrs ago was around 15 millions, while European population in Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native Americans population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLIONS'! A sad truth.
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners indigenous Native American people. All they, indigenous Native people need is their beloved motherlands back, the lands that their ancestors' forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for tens of thousands of years.
True, notorious global cardinal crimes Anglo West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤔

Also the city’s of Birmingham, the second biggest city in the UK along with many other city’s in the UK who have suffered mass immigration from Africa, Middle East, and Asia . The English was never asked if they wanted mass immigration on an industrial scale they wasn’t even consolidated. By the year 2060 the white indigenous English will be the minority in their own country. Please do not forget The Native American Indian was also a slave owners .

Even with corruption & bad governance. The major roads are tarred, smooth and clearly marked. Power seems reliable, they even have drinking water coming from their taps.
The streets are clean and organised, the buildings aren't dilapidated and the locals are friendly. Things can't be that bad. You remarked how you were getting good value for your money. The population is not big or small,its moderately sized. They have a bright future...
Loving those super blue skies and dazzling white cotton clouds.
Sadly, Argentina is far from a bright future it it continues the trend that has been following for some decades now. Socialism, corruption and bad government have been ruining it to the point that everyday it's worse and worse for them to live. And the ultimatum is that argentinians simply don't understand how powerful the country could be, because politics brainwash them. I'm not from there, I'm from Uruguay, however I've got family there. Prices from the outside may seem super good but for them it's really hard. People that had a good economy are now in tight budget or are moving to other countries (Chile, Uruguay or Paraguay), and the ones who had it hard are now poor or extremely poor.
The country looks good because it is indeed a beautiful country and had a really good wealth so big cities look really good. But once you start getting into the newer areas or poorer areas you will see there is a huge problem there. It's just scary because I honestly can't see their future with how economy has envolved nowadays.
@@coffee-syrup Thanks for your honest assessment and your time.
"They have a bright future..."
Me a argentine: if only we had one good politician
It truley is socialism. Huge state, around 18 % of working citizens are emplyed by the state, masive social planing draing the states budget, compensating with exagerated money printing, generating 3rd largest inflations rates in the world, over taxed population, really bad diplomacy, complicating comercial interactions, being friends with Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Russia and China, and the list goes on. Ive heard someone say, only socialism can leave cuba without sugar, venezuela without oil and argenina without meat.

That's the thing about most people who live out in the campo/ country. They will almost always take the time of day to share their lives and answer questions about their life ways. born a city boy myself who left that life years ago, I have lived in cowboy country for over 50 years now, a place where the desert meets the High Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, though not a cowboy myself, Horses, dogs and Gauchos have always been part of my daily life, i am a dog kinda guy.as dogs being both human's and horses best & loyal friends. Being up there in my years at 70 and physically worn out from a physical life, i really enjoy your travels to many off the wall places, some i have visited & many i've always wanted to travel too, showing your viewers a world through your interests & eyes that we may otherwise never see nor appreciate.

Hello my American friend greetings from kojak country lifestyle RUclips in Jamaica. Nice comment.
@@kojakcountrylifestyle3580 spam much.
The culture of the gaucho still lives on in the countryside, mostly because people over there keep performing jobs related to cattle husbandry and horse tamming as per in the old days. Gauchos golden days were back on the late 1800s and early 1900s when the countryside was mostly an open grass range with large ranches here and there without fences to divide them, and further out there were aboriginal lands. The gaucho had to travel, live and work in the open for several days and across many miles in solitude mustering, herding, selecting, marking along with his horse and maybe a few dogs or none. So that's why the gaucho has such a strong bond to horses, land and tradition which I'm pretty sure it's not much different from cowboys in the US, isn't it?
@@JuanPablo-kj9dg Hi Juan, I think small cattle operations work much like traditional did. A lot of corporate ranches these days cowboys ride ATV's and Gaucho dtyle horse breaking is a seperate thing, also these days many recreational cowboys with hobby horses like pets.

I miss Argentina. I lived there over two stints in 2013/2014 with an ex, but you're right....the problem is always issues with the economy. When I went the first time, all of her friends and family asked that when I came back to please bring US dollars (I'm Australian and didn't really realise how the ban on USD at the time worked) so they could try and save. I ended up taking a few thousand USD back the next time and they were trying to give me way more cash than the official rate. Needless to say there was no way I was going to take those black market prices, just what it cost me and they were extremely grateful as it made a big difference for them.
Well if you gave them a 1000 usd at official price they made an extra 1000 on the black market when sold. Around 100 per dollar for oficial rate, around 200 per dollar in street market. You cant change more than 200 usd per month at official rate plus taxes, that takes it to some 170 pesos per dollar. So in reality you can only change useful sums of dollars at the black market. you did them a big favour, but you kinda lost a lot of money there (only usable in argentina, since when you change it back you wont get the offical rate).
If any one visits, bring cash, people will give you almost double of what the bank gives.
The black market dollar *is* the official dollar. The other one is just a drawing.
@@bajolunapod Yeah even sending money through something like western union gives you double what the "official rate" is because its bs.
As an Argentinian those words at the end made me cry. Its a devastating sight to see how fast this country is deteriorating, even if by some miracle we change the course we are heading it will take generations to stand up again.
Yeah man...i almost did too... what a wise words.

Argentina was richer than Canada and roughly equivalent to the US (in per capita GDP terms) in the 1930's. At that point in history it was just as desirable a destination for overseas migrants. Sadly, decades of military dictatorship and economic mismanagement changed that. Still a great country culturally, but some substantial squandered economic potential.

This guy has this uncanny ability to ignite the interest for viewrs to watch all his travel programs. He covers unchartered places, locations where typical tourist dare not venture. But his demenour , the amiableness and the positive energy he radiates when narrating, makes the viewers to keep watching his programs forever.
He does not come across as a Loud rhetoric expressive narrator. But his down to earth approach and frankness to the viewers is just extraordinarily unique. What makes it addictive is his approach and the way he talks to the locals in their own languages which is mind blowing. And another gift he carries is the locals just feel good talking to him.
Excellent bro. Sincere comments. Vick from Singapore.
He really does make the other travel tubers look super unsophisticated. He's not disrespectful to women or objectifying(like a lot of the guys who go to latinamerica and Asia in particular). He doesn't get wasted or look for prostitutes and doesn't wander around aimless doing shit like buying random trinkets and annoying locals. More often than not, he knows the local language if not fluently then enough to have no issues. He's a CLASS act. I'd marry him lmao

Tommy thank you for representing America in a positive way. Living vicariously through you, and having a great time. Thank you.
There is a lot of gaucho culture in Argentina right now, if you're interested this is the season of gaucho's parties, carnivals a,d even competitions in different kind of horse related sports.
I love visiting Manzanares (a little rural town in Buenos Aires) during this season because you can feel the traditionalism festivity in the air. You should check about traditionalism gaucho festivities, seriously there are a lot during this season, there are even gauchos from Paraguay, Brazil and Uruguay competing
And he can go to the most biggest celebrations during the summer time, wich are Cosquín and Jesús María, in the province of Córdoba. There's a lot of Gaucho Culture and hundreed thousand people visiting and enjoying the way of life they have as a country workers and country people.

I'm sure he told you when you weren't rolling but for those that don't know ill throw some insight.
The Facon (or gaucho knife) that Mr.Mancilla shows tom is used on the lower back and tied with a cloth piece so its easily accessible whilst riding a horse. Its original purpose was to help with the daily chores of the countrylife but it also served as a weapon to fight between gauchos and to butcher the occasional pig or lamb.
And the word Facón comes from the Portuguese Faca wich means knife. Facón is a word to describe a faca but bigger.
Thanks, Tomas, you're a goodwill ambassador to a lot of different countries. It's quite a calling! Not many people are open-minded enough or big-hearted enough to find so much to appreciate in other people.

If you want to know more about the gaucho culture, read the Martin Fierro, I’m sure there should be an English version, it’s an epic poem written by Jose Hernandez, and it’s part of our national identity. It narrates the contribution the gaucho had to the national development. You can also el read some amazing short stories from Jorge Luis Borges, one of the best (the best for me) writter Argentina gave to the world, like “Biografria de Tadeo Isidoro Cruz” or “Historia de Rosendo Juárez”, you can’t go wrong with Borges, he was a genius.
Hermano, la historia gaucha esta muy glorificada, solo es un instrumento para brindar identidad nacional a los grupos desfavorecidos en la zona provincial que ya es obsoleta para ello porque ya no nos identificamos con eso, es una mentira teñida de historia.

Thanks for showing us parts of Argentina off the tourist route. Two separate comments. 1. You probably already know that Argentina and Australia were once maybe 120 years ago thought of as countries with similar opportunities, but now have vastly different outcomes for the people. 2. I chase weather and storms as a hobby and the north and west (like Cordoba, Resistensia) of Argentina is probably the 3rd most favourable place on earth after USA Mid West and Bangladesh for organised severe storms. Having been there you may say "but Uganda has lots of storms", and yes lots more than Argentina, but we are talking Quality vs Quantity. I often look at the storm prospects in Argentina in Mid October to mid December. Buenos Aires is not so good , but frequency picks up from Rosario north and west ward.
Uganda has no storms. Maybe alot of Rain. Since it's close to the equator and alot of rainforests.
I suppose different parts of Uganda have more storms than others. Lake Victoria and the wetter areas have the most "Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and an economic and food security lifeline for roughly 30 million people living near its shores in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. But it also takes lives. Cyclical, daily weather patterns around the lake create violent nighttime thunderstorms that kill roughly 3,000 to 5,000 fishermen per year.
“This is definitely one of the stormiest places on Earth,” said Wim Thiery, a climate scientist at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel who has studied Lake Victoria for several years. “Almost every night, you see these intense thunderstorms and sometimes even water tornadoes developing over the lake because it’s a really favorable environment for storms.”
@@ozthunder Am Ugandan 😂. So yeah maybe you are right. Haven't seen them be that bad tho.
hahaha it really is like that friend. In the north of Córdoba and in the mountains we have very strong storms after the long drought that lasts between 7 or 8 months. When those storms arrive, we tend to unplug the electrical devices because the storms are excessively electric, a lot of lightning strikes and with the thunder it seems that the world is ending haha. many times it ends up cutting the electrical network and the satellite signal as well.
I'm jealous of your language skills, you seem to have a predilection for the ability to learn languages that's a great gift.

0:54 That is interesting, in Peru a Colectivo is the word used to describe a van or small bus that travels within the city, then the larger buses were called Autobuses and they went to other cities. That is how it was in Cusco back when I lived there anyways. Great video, the fact you can make a living doing this is inspirational. I am actually going to Argentina in 2 months to travel and teach some English so I will be paying attention to your channel for useful info. Thanks for the videos!
Good people and low prices, looks like a good place to visit. The Argentinian accent reminds me of Italian a bit.
They have that accent because there was a massive migration of italians to Argentina between 1880-1930
Yes, it does because of the Italian immigration during the Great Migration. Three out of four Italians immigrated to Argentina. A large part of the food and culture are Italian as well.
I'd totally enjoy having a few beers with this guy while listening all about his travels. The beers would be gladly paid for of course. 🍻

I was raised a horseman fourth generation so I find this very interesting. You got to see some of the tack and those are cattle dogs. The cattle dogs nip at the cows legs and move them into a herd to a pen or place as you direct them. The horses were interesting. They don't use wild horses they bred them on the farm, possibly horse farms. They are then broken to be handled by people and to wear the tack as the saddle and bridle. Then you teach them how to interact cattle with you directing them. We had tack rooms where grooms and horsemen would sleep and eat. They get up at daybreak and check the horses to feed them and in stalls muck out the stalls. The dogs get fed then you mount up and check the cattle to see how they are doing moving them to a new grazing spot. Its a rough life yet it has its merits. It was fun seeing you talk with the horseman he was pretty typical as they learn patience and good humor working with the animals. It was fun seeing you "game" to give the lasso rope a try.

@@andysing72 Surely it was in Chubut province, around 2000 km away from there. But you can find Welsh roots in Rio Negro province also, in Luis Beltran city, and in Coronel Suarez (Buenos Aires province). Greetings from Argentina !!
I couldn't help but smile the entire duration of the video. I like how you achieved your goal of meeting a gaucho, even though the process was a bit awkward but also wholesome. I'm enjoying your content a lot, greetings from Buenos Aires ❤
I would love to come to Argentina for some reasons but the biggest reason is that my great grandad is buried in Buenos Aires.
He left the Balkans and took the boat to Argentina in 1928 and never came back.
So I would love to come one day and hopefully find his grave if that's even possible in Argentina.
Maybe I even have cousins over there 😂
Many Eurpean people have cousins here in Argentina. It could be a great plan to travel here in your vacations and found part of your family.
One of my best friends is grandson of a Hungarian couple.
Do you know when did he die? Did he die in Buenos Aires city, or the suburbs? He had any family here? Work? I’d love to help you find out about him, I’m very into genealogy haha. The thing with cemeteries here is that your family has to pay for the upkeep of your tomb space, so if he didn’t have any family here perhaps he was cremated by the government and that was it.
You're so cool, really. Your honesty opens doors and hearts. Right on pal!
NO TE VAYAS NUNCAAA TODAVIA FALTA MÁS DEL NORTE Y SUR
Estos videos y más que nada tus palabras me llevan a reencontrarme con el orgullo de ser argentino y apreciar el país hermoso que tenemos GRACIAS WACHOO
@Sabbatical
I like your positivity and you are the only RUclipsr that make me happy
No soy Argentino ,ni tampoco he estado ahi ..Pero amo ARgentina ..su cultura comida .Y conoci muy buenos amigos Argentinos .Pero mas que todo tube la dicha de conocer a Julio Cortazar
Y cuando conozcas a Borges vas a alucinar :P
Love your videos of Argentina, love your personality, you look like a good guy. Keep making videos of this beautiful country!
Gauchos ussually are workers who lives in productive properties, owned by greater landkeepers. They are who you call the farmers. Nothing different about that. Of course, argentinian farmers has their own living style, as the small town inside the provinces people. Best from BsAs
This guy's gotta be one of the most interesting channels on RUclips. Keep doing these.
My grandfather and his family lived the gaucho lifestyle. I think that it's a beautiful way of life. I really enjoy your videos.
As an argentino living in the USA. I feel inspired to leave this place and finally come back home and do the exact experience you are doing. This is how I imagine going back. ❤
SABBATICAL! You're the best thank you for all the videos 🥺
your content is so good that I forgot to like it and ended up only giving it in the last few minutes of the video, that shows how immersive your content is
Típico de pueblos, lo de la antena jeje o son las tormentas o algún señor que se lleva puesto el transformador eléctrico y nos deja sin luz en pleno enero. Cosas lindas ❤️
Sure wish you had more time to visit the pueblos and aldeas in Argentina. I use to dream of visiting Argentina, Uruguay and the cattle country in Brasil. Time and responsibilities crept up on me and I ended up retiring in Central America some years back. Now I'm too old to do any real riding on the pampas, but it's hard to shed the old dreams. Thanks for the vicarious visit.
Haven't watched it yet, but I know this is going to be an amazing vlog! Popcorn ready!!!
Thanks it's nice to view a video of what the country is. Your knowledge and learning languages is just mine staggering thanks again stay safe
Hey Sabbatical! Just one thing about the 9:35 part. Tap water is not safe in all over the country, only in some places. For example, if you go to La Costa in Buenos Aires, you'll find tap water to be contaminated with salt from the sea
Same thing in Brazil. Don't drink tap water if you're not in a major coastal city here.
Na, visité 8 provincias y en todas era seguro beber, así que dudo que sean "only a few places"
A little salt in the water will clean you out .no problems unless there is no bathroom around..
@@deyversonlaconchadetumadre En algunos lugares sale con arsénico
@@jere87 Eso es en areas rurales donde se hacen pozos donde se pueda y donde tiran desechos las fábricas
Hey Tom very Nic e video.. Argentina looks like a beautiful country.. The people seem very friendly and helpful. Stay safe.
Greetings from Weeki Wachee.
I want to live in Argentina now... 😍
If only more people were as open minded and well traveled as you, the world would be a better place. Your awesome! From speaking various African dialects to Spanish, what a gift
Great Video! My Mom's uncles were OG guachos from Areco. I grew up with Guacho paraphernalia on the walls of our living room. I haven't been to Argentina in over 20 years. Your videos make me want to be there eating a Choripan or a bifé de chorizo! jaja thanks!
Love your videos and approach to life. Please keep sharing.
I would have sworn you were Argentinian with really good English. Love your videos.
Thanks for sharing your journey and the stories of the people you meet.
Argentina reminds me of Italy but where they speak Spanish!!! Love these videos!!!
Italian immigration was huge so you can identify accents, words, hands gestures, sense of identity, surnames (such as mine).
@@fernandozopatti Argentina is Spanish colonization not Italian go find your own colonization go back to Italy Argentina is Spain ♥️🇦🇷🇪🇸♥️🤜🇮🇹
dude, consider a Q/A video. I'm sure a lot of people would love to ask you questions about how you have come to where you are in life etc. Thanks for the content, missing the East African adventures.
Great video man, just the tiniest correction: at 27:22 the man is refering to the bell, and not the horse, when he says "se llama cencerro". "Cencerro" is what you'd call a cowbell or similar, such as in this case.
Gracias por corregirme 👍
Your the best ,huge fun from Kenya.Always watching your videos.
Definitely it is an attractive time to visit while its hot weather. Cheers from the cold Finland (just barely below freezing point...). The flights just seem to be really expensive to do a short(ish) trip.
@@leandro2873 Haha well having AC should help with the heat. I would love some sun and heat before returning to this cold, dark and depressing weather we have here now :D
@@leandro2873 it’s normal weather in northern Mexico
Thanks for the video my friend. I totally agree with you that Argentina is a great country. I've known a lot of foreigners that have fallen in love with Argentina.
Dude ur videos are getting better every day..I'm loving the argentinian series!!
Sabbatical, another beautiful one from you .
There is something about your videos that just makes them beautiful.
One thing for sure is your narration is not devoid of innuendo and you state throngs just the way they are, you are also calm and non-judgemental( remember the druggies you visited!). But above all, you show us places not many would visit.
I loved seeing the Argentine countryside since I only spent time in BA when I visited years ago. I plan to comeback someday and visit Tigre….
