As I said, it's been a few years. But Santa Cruz is a dump, and not comparable in any way to Buenos Aires.
Lima has both very good areas, where the cost of living is very high, and horrendous areas (most of the city, actually).
The only places I know in Latin America with a cost of living as high as Bogota are Sao Paulo and Rio. So I'm astonished to hear Buenos Aires is in that range now, since the last time I was around there the cost of living was easily half of what you see in Brazil and Colombia.
- wprapido 10y agosanta cruz is lagging behind buenos aires, but it's much cheaper and much safer. inflation in argentina skyrocketed bogota i much cheaper than rio and sao paulo and rio and sao paulo are not as expensive as they used to be since brazil was hit hard by recession
- doozy 10y agoNo, I'm in Bogota right now, and I was living in Sao Paulo last year. If anything prices are higher in Bogota. Have prices in Argentina, converted to dollars actually increased? I was also in Santa Cruz earlier this year, it's not really comparable to any of the major cities in Latin America, of course it is cheaper, but you get what you pay for.
- wprapido 10y agowell, there is no more black exchange rate for dollar in argentina and inflation is kind of getting out of control, so yeah dollar prices increased a lit. of course, SCZ is not comparable with BOG and BA or RJ/SP
