San Luis
The 'Gateway to Cuyo' offers surprising digital infrastructure, tax incentives for tech companies, and beautiful sierras. Argentina's quiet achiever for remote workers.
About San Luis
San Luis is Argentina's quiet overachiever. Under progressive local governance, the province has invested heavily in digital infrastructure and tech industry incentives, earning it the nickname 'Argentina's Silicon Valley' (a stretch, but the ambition is real). The capital city is clean, organized, and surprisingly connected for a small Argentine city. The Sierras de San Luis offer hiking, rock climbing, and charming mountain villages like Merlo — famous for its 'healing microclimate.' The province has embraced renewable energy and digital connectivity in a way that's unusual for the interior. For digital nomads and remote workers, San Luis offers a fascinating proposition: decent internet, low costs, mountain access, and a government that's actively courting tech-oriented residents.
