10 recommended activities in Buenos Aires

Following is a of the list of ten most recommended activities we propose for you to enjoy during your stay in Buenos Aires:

Meet up at a classic soccer game (River v Boca).

Visit the San Telmo market (an antiques fair) and pick up a distinct object from former times.

Participate in an excursion to the Tigre Delta that includes sailing among its isles and canals and/or rent kayaks. Also, visit the picturesque Fruit Port.

Get to know Café Tortoni (a historical café in which the most outstanding intellectual personalities gathered –Borges, Julio Decaro, Julio Centella, among others), which has been standing for 150 years. Take pleasure in the style of this impeccably conserved café which also exhibits relics from that earlier time. These include its arañas de caireles, its walls covered by wood, and its presentation of Tango-related shows that take place in the building’s lower level.

Designate a weekend for a visit to the surrounding countryside and stay at an old ranch. This will allow you to see the architecture, the landscape and the skills (horsemanship and other tasks inherent to ranches). You will also participate in traditions such as asado (barbecue) and wine tasting.

Make a night of it in the porteño fashion and discover the Tanguerias. There, experience the novelty of dancing the Tango- the emblematic dance of the porteño city.

On a Saturday or Sunday, delight in the Plaza Francia, where a first level artisan market –originally hippie- is held. Furthermore, you can peruse the cultural exhibitions at the Recoleta Cultural Center, located on this same lot. Finally, take a guided tour of the Recoleta Cemetary, an ossuary of some of the most important exponents of the making of argentine history and culture.

Take a break from the city tour and head to the Ecological Reserve on the south coast.

Stroll around Palermo SOHO and enjoy, on top of the bars and popular restaurants, the promotions at its reputable stores.

Visit the Mataderos Market for a feel of the countryside- an artisan market in accordance with rural traditions- that combines eating barbecue on shared tables, the presence of “ring races,” and listening to traditional music sung by prestigious folklore singers.
