Field notes

Northwest Argentina at 1,200m elevation — colonial architecture, dry-warm climate, Quechua-influenced culture that feels closer to Bolivia than to Buenos Aires. Centro and Tres Cerritos are the dense neighborhoods. Argentina's DNV applies. Quebrada de Humahuaca and Cafayate wine country are weekend defaults. Same peso-volatility tailwind for foreign-currency earners.
