A Special Invitation to La Estancia in Argentina

Dear reader,

We are now only a month away from a very special event called "Escape to Cafayate".

Doug Casey, after traveling to nearly 200 countries has truly found a special place hidden away in Salta Province in northern Argentina.  I first visited in March of this year and had no intention of buying a place.  But after a week of being around hundreds of the most amazing people I've ever met, drinking fine locally grown wines and eating Argentine parillas (bbq'ed meats more savory than anywhere on the planet) while being surrounded by amazing natural beauty, I decided that I absolutely had to be there.  It was just one of those "follow your instincts" moments.  I've always followed my instincts... and so far they have led me to amazing places and experiences.

With all that is going on in the western world right now and having a family it also behooves me to take steps to ensure our safety over the coming years and that is another reason why I have begun to plan to have a place in northern Argentina.  Given that I believe the best places to be in the future will be Latin America and Asia and the fact that northern Argentina is very far from anywhere (any real population center), is very self-sufficient (plenty of water, food and energy from the Itaipu dam) and is used to hyperinflationary collapses, I think Argentina is one of the best places to sit out the next few years.

On top of that, I believe it is the world's first, real, Galt's Gulch.  The place is teeming with entrepreneurs and successful speculators.  I've already predicted that I expect a few billion dollar companies to come out of this area.

As example of the potential, the last time I was there I walked away with two million dollar-potential opportunities that were all but just placed in my lap.   These are the type of things that can happen amongst like-minded entreprenurial people.

The event is truly magical.  If you have been looking for a vacation then consider coming down, even if you have no intention of buying a place there.  But I will warn you, I went there with the same mindset.

Here is an overview of the events and activities:

It is truly an amazing experience.  To sit around with people like Doug Casey and other dollar vigilantes, including myself and my wife, eating amazing food and sipping on the world famous wines grown in the region is, as Mastercard says, priceless.  There will also be a "Self Reliant Living and Investment Conference" which I'll be speaking at.

The cost is only $300... basically just to cover the costs of all the events, food and wine.  For all you golfers, that $300 includes unlimited golf on the world class golf course on the estate.  $300 for unlimited food, wine and golf is pretty amazing in and of itself!

They only accept a certain amount of guests because they like to keep these small and casual.  So if you are interested in coming down, email them right away at TDV@lec.com.ar.  Through there you can ask them any questions you might have.  Also, they have a concierge who can help you figure out flights and hotels and any other questions you have.

I hope to see you down there!

Hi. When I read about those who find a good place to live in Argentina, I am always reminded of what a native Argentinian had to say about Cafayate. You can read it here:

What is your response to this? Thanks, Breck

Hi Breck, Ferfal is a financial destitute man who lives with his parents in Argentina. He exhibits schizophrenic qualities from what I can tell and most of the stuff he writes is paranoid and not based in reality. Argentina is about as relaxed and peaceful as a country can get... certainly not dangerous in any way. Anyone who has been to Argentina knows this. Look at Ferfal's background and then look at people like Doug Casey and my background and decide who have better, proven judgement skills.
