Trying to escape Bolivia as the borders closed due to Covid-19 in March 2020

I was in Bolivia in March 2020 when Covid-19 was spreading into South America. In 2024 I returned to Bolivia to re-enact events from 2020, as I attempted to escape the country and return to the UK before the borders closed. But would I make it? It also doubles as a walking tour of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Also featuring former South American presidents, pigeons, the Bolivian army, Sasq...

Villa Carlos Paz, Argentina
zhlédnutí 423Před 21 dnem
This is a lakeside resort town in the hills, less than an hour from Cordoba, Argentina, popular with the locals for a weekend away. I had just arrived here for the first time on a Sunday evening, after a day trip to nearby Playa De Los Hippies, a riverside beach. The countryside around Villa Carlos Paz, which you will not see in this video, is very beautiful. You will have to go there yourself....

gringo mi ser boliviano you are the best
hola maestro sabías que hay estados unidenses que quieren vivir en argentina?
Cordoba son de esos lugares que tienes que estar y vivirlos para entender lo bello.
Good eye. the best city of the world.
Argentina is the best country in the world. greetings from Argentina
Amazing! It's amazing how much you like my city! To think that many are thinking about leaving here wile others like you enjoy it so much! Thanks you and that's why I answer you in your language...the least I can do. Welcome to Córdoba Argentina! 🇦🇷😎👍
Es la segunda ciudad mas importante y tambien la mas habitada del pais,muy bella la docta cordoba pero la ciudad es gigante falta mucho por mostrar aca solo se muestra un 30%
If you continue through Santa Cruz go to the BIOCENTRO GUEMBE park, a perfect destination near the city, and a couple of hours away there is a lot to see in Samaipata
Dude, I enjoyed your personalized tour of Cordoba. I think you did an awesome job showing the highlights of the city, making the video entertaining and giving us your firsthand opinions. I'm from the US, I have been to the beautiful city of Buenos Aires, but never to Cordoba.
Me encanta ver a un Extranjero Disfrutar de mi Hermosa ciudad (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
La cañada es un arroyo, no un drenaje. Es grande porque en épocas de lluvia crece muchísimo. Antes inundaba la ciudad
El lago San Roque es una cloaca a cielo abierto ningún gobernador se preocupo por solucionarlo.
El intendente es un inútil y mentiroso se ha abandonado mucho la periferia lo mismo en la provincia los gobernadores son unos sinvergüenzas.
The department of Santa Cruz is the main livestock producer in Bolivia, it supplies the entire country, the consumption of grilled meat (churrasco) is very traditional in that city.
Hello mate! I really liked the video, as I certainly enjoy strolling around Córdoba's streets. I just wanted to tell you that calling La Cañada a drainage canal is... somewhat disheartening. It's originally a natural stream that feeds into the Suquía river, and while it may seem like just a gentle shallow stream of water, it's not uncommon to see it fill to the brim on summer's rain season. This is actually the second construction of La Cañada, made mainly by croatian immigrant workers during the early 40s. La Vieja Cañada predates it by 3 centuries, and it's given birth to numerous songs and legends. Sorry if it seems like I'm infodumping, but just wanted to add up on the great video and share about one of the "joyitas" that I so much love about my city. Keep it up and all the best for you in your travels!
Thank you for that. I'm happy to be corrected. I'm just a tourist, so I don't know much. A few locals told me it wasn't a river, just a drainage canal. But it's beautiful either way!
Me encanto tu video de Córdoba. Y si es una hermosa Ciudad. Esperare el próximo y conocer otros lugares. Saludos.
Cordoba es muy bonito lugar, su gente es muy divertida. Saludos desde Córdoba
you are handsome Richard, very good-looking and virile man, welcome to the Córdoba city papi
Very cool, I suggest you visit Villa Gral Belgrano and La cumbrecita, both nice Germany themed towns
Thank you. I didn't go there in the end, but maybe next time I'm in Cordoba.
Hello dear Arthur, the Great BBQ its not place in downtow... She places in suburban areas
Thank you. I heard that too, but ran out of time to visit them all. Next time!
Cordoba ❤ tengo mis lugares mágicos escondidos ahí.. la ciudad es hermosa.. viví 8 años en Nueva córdoba y aprendí a disfrutar de cada caminata
Wonderful video! I'm glad you're enjoying your staying! But careful with your phone/camera my friend, specially on the zone you're walking in the introduction of the video.
Thank you. I have no choice other than hiring a bodyguard!
Bro, let me know next time you come I speak fluent english, cheers mate
I am from that city, I am glad you like it, I find it to be a rather "cold" city, really not much going on, I dream to visit London one day, cheers friend
Yes. Visiting and living in a place are not the same, but I enjoyed being in your city very much. I hope you visit London one day too.
No, downtown is complete dirty, is horrible.....has a lot af monuments, but is insecure.....the best in Córdoba is Traslasierra, Calamuchita,Valley.....in Cba city,people is uneducated.....horrible city.
I need a car to see more of the countryside!
Si no te gusta vivir en una metrópolis quédate en las sierras ,lo mejor de córdoba es la cuidad de córdoba
The fact that it has lots of trees helps make that city attractive.
Carlos Paz looks nice, I went a few times, I usually go more to Villa General Belgrano, Santa Rosa, Villa Rumimpal.
I am from the Province of Córdoba, 110 km from the capital in the heart of the Pampas plain, the last time I went to Córdoba almost 2 years ago I found the city very dirty, the garbage collectors were on strike and since there were no containers, the dogs broke the bags and scattered the garbage, it would be necessary to organize that better, other things I saw were the poorly maintained sidewalks and streets, there are cities and towns in Córdoba better maintained than the Capital
Un asco digamos, imaginate lo q es vivir en cba
I hope things improve there. I'm just a visitor, so my experiences are different from living there.
Cordoba Corazon de mi pais ❤
CZcams me recomendo este video porque soy de Cordoba, es loco como para mi la ciudad cada vez esta peor y mas miserable, pero a un extranjero le gusta. Para mi la ciudad esta muy abandonada, solo progresan las zonas de Nueva Cordoba y Guemes, pero a donde vos estuviste esta muy feo hay mucha gente sin hogar en las plazas y la infraestructura esta muy derrumbada, no se pintan las paredes y las calles y veredas estan destruidas. Amo mi ciudad pero deberiamos cuidarla un poco mas
"La ciudad es hermosa, pero es cierto que hay varios aspectos que necesitan mejorar, como la infraestructura de las calles y los edificios. Por cierto, soy de Córdoba. 😂"
Soy de la provincia de Córdoba, no voy muy seguido pero me pasó que fuí a Córdoba y me pareció que estaba mejorando, 2 años después vuelvo y encontré mugre por todos lados, calles y veredas en mal estado, las paredes rayadas, me decepciona porque es la capital de mi provincia, en la peatonal una vez fui y estaba lindo porque habían sacado a los manteros y habían hecho toda la calle nueva, al tiempo estaban otra vez ahí y no se podía ni caminar, lleno de vendedores Bolivianos y Africanos
Thanks for your comments. Let's hope things improve there. In the video, I only walked around the nice areas, but yes, things change down other streets.
Comparto tu comentario.La ciudad es una mugre.Cordoba es hermosa y me duele verla en este estado.Y cada vez mas llena de moviliario urbano.Todo curro de los gobernantes.Llenan de macetas que despues abandonan.😢😢
a donde está más abandonada? se restauró todo nva cba y guemes, y tambien centro, plaza san martin, gral paz, cerro, costanera, rio suquia, parque sarmiento, la Maipú la están haciendo de nuevo

Great video!!! I love BA!!!
There are a lot of interesting places in Valle de Punilla. La Falda has a lot of history. This may be helpful for your book
I heard about it, but didn't go this time. I might go down that way overland next time I'm in Argentina.
You have pronounced it very well !:)
Richard. welcome to Argentina I hope you can achieve all your goals. Thank for choosing Argentina to experience unforgettable moments in life. I live in Buenos Aires, but I used to live in Cordoba, too. So , if you let me I can recommend you some places to visit in Córdoba, in Buenos Aires and in some other provinces I have visited.
Catamarca, San Juan, San Luis La Rioja, Salta, Mendoza, Jujuy are beautiful as well. Misiones is awesome not only Iguazú Falls but the whole province. Los saltos de Moconá are stunning.
Thank you. I went to some of those places on my first trip to Argentina. I will try to see the rest in the summer.
Nice video
Excellent video and completely agree that this is my favorite city in the world as well, funny enough you started the video in the entrance of my own home in Cordoba, I didn't have to guess where you were.😄
Thank you. It's a good spot. It provided a nice opening shot of the church and segue into Plaza San Martin. 😊
welcome to Argentina, English brother.
Carlos Paz is a known resort town in Argentina; it is a beautiful place!
Cordoba is a beautiful city for sure,
Muy lundo video y acertados comentarios. Mucha suerte ❤
