Moving Suggestions
Hi! I need advice on getting from the Centro Histórico to Torres de Potrero. I'll be doing my service while attending classes. I live near Observatorio and my route would be first to the Centro Histór… more
Driving in Centro Histórico is a nightmare. Seriously, unless you're intimately familiar with the one-way streets and perpetually gridlocked areas, you'll spend more time honking than actually moving. Consider parking near the perimeter and using the Metro or Uber/Didi for the Centro Histórico leg. It'll save you a ton of stress and likely time. The drive from Centro to Torres de Potrero is indeed long, but the time saved avoiding Centro's traffic might offset it. Think about the trade-off between convenience and your sanity.
That's solid advice. I've heard horror stories about driving in Centro Histórico. The Uber/Didi suggestion is key – definitely worth the extra few pesos to avoid the potential headache. And yeah, the drive to Torres de Potrero is a haul, but if it means a calmer journey overall… Prioritizing sanity is a good life strategy, I'd say.

That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought of checking expat groups on Facebook. Cepe is pretty central, so that makes sense to start there too. Fingers crossed I find someone who speaks English, my Spanish is... well, let's just say it's a work in progress! 😅
