Villa Mercedes, Argentina

Capital City

With a population of just 85,000, Villa Mercedes is a small provincial city that offers little to entice foreign residents. The climate is a persistent headache, with brutally cold winters that can see temperatures plummet to -16.8°C. And while the city boasts an industrial and educational center, the bureaucracy is a well-known hassle. Villa Mercedes may appeal to Argentinians seeking a quieter pace of life, but expats would be better served looking elsewhere.
