The 2009 Argentina Real Estate Expo concluded yesterday after a three-day run in Buenos Aires.

As expected, there were several major developers and brokers on hand promoting a variety of projects including mid and high-rise condos in Buenos Aires, gated communities with golf courses and polo fields in the Province of Buenos Aires and luxury waterfront developments along the Tango Coast including Mar del Plata and Punta del Este.

NuWire Investor pulls back the poolside cabana curtains and lets foreign investors in on a South American secret: Uruguay Real Estate, Why Its The Perfect Location for Expatriates. NuWire first describes Punta del Este’s “affordable real estate, a remarkably high standard of living, and a party season each summer that transforms the town into a prime spot for South America’s rich and famous,” then shares the personal travelogue of DailyWealth Editor Steve Sjuggerud.

The U.S.-based investor explains how banking and tax laws have helped make Uruguay the second-richest country in Latin America. While traveling around Punta del Este, Sjuggerud finds affordable schools, housekeepers, country clubs and several seaside cottages for under $200,000. He says it’s only a matter of time before more American, Canadian and European buyers begin to discover this gem on The Tango Coast:

“In short, Punta del Este is the perfect location for expatriates. It’s cheap, easy to reach, and the quality of life is unbeatable, even in America. Best of all, there’s going to be a property boom here as money flees from the bankrupt governments in America and Europe.” Indeed.

Argentine Malbec Rising: Catena’s Journey & An Industry Transformed

The Washington Post traces the rapid rise of Argentina’s wine industry from the 1980′s ”pretty dormant, low-end and geared toward domestic consumption” to today’s vibrant export model with award-winning Malbecs and other local varietals increasingly gaining market share abroad.

Argentine vintner Nicolss Catena is described as “the founding father of modern Argentine wine,” and he drew inspiration for his home country from the United States and Napa Valley’s competitive transformation during the 1980′s.

Catena returned to Argentina and challenged the industry status quo by experimenting with new planting techniques, vineyard management and a relentless pursuit of perfection. It paid off.

From a single vintage in 1990, the Post says the rest is wine history, “Catena’s discovery launched Argentina’s wine boom and lured a horde of French and American winemakers to Mendoza to plant and make Malbec.” (Full Story)

NYTimes: Bargains In Buenos Aires, Where Luxury Costs Less

Downtown Buenos Aires featured in an article on travel bargains in today's New York Times

Travel writer Michelle Higgins gives New York Times readers a sweeping vista of the myriad bargains awaiting adventure seekers throughout Latin America. (Full Story)

Buenos Aires gets extra ink and eye candy considering the sharp price reductions on lodging and dining in the wake of the flu scare earlier this year. Cold and flu season is over in BA, but the bargains remain.

“Meals are often half the cost of their European counterparts,” Higgins writes, “hotels are generally more luxurious than what you would get for the same money in the States, and spa treatments and other private services are so affordable you feel good about splurging.”

And while the dollar may be taking it on the chin vis-a -vis the euro, the dollar is faring about 20% better versus the Argentine peso than one year ago. For those contemplating a longer-term stay, Buenos Aires and Montevideo, a market NuWire Investor recently described as “first world luxury with third world prices” are two of the most livable cities in South America.
