yes, but they are called "villas" or "villa miseria". If you go to Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Mendoza, Rosario, or any other medium or large Argentine city, ask the locals about which bus lines to take so you can see them (if you are brave enough). I invite you to visit as well some gated communities or "barrios privados"- Argentina has a very high index of economic inequality (gini index) Visit wikipedia page for world map. It is such a shame for us; we used to be a society with a lot of social mobility- now look at us. |

No, since Favela is portuguese, so they obviously call them something else. |
