Excursions in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina
Excursions in Buenos Aires
A favorite retreat for Buenos Aires locals is the Tigre River, known for its picturesque landscapes, winding canals, and ideal spots for leisure and entertainment, including scenic boat rides. You can reach Tigre by taking an excursion train along the bay, ending at the Tigre station. From there, a modern catamaran will guide you through the Paraná River delta, a maze of small islands crisscrossed by rivers and streams.
For a different experience, spend an entire day at a Gaucho show on an "estancia"—a traditional ranch in the Argentine Pampas (Pampa Humeda) where large cattle are raised. Here, you'll dive into the authentic Gaucho lifestyle, welcomed by hosts with "espadas," mouthwatering barbecue, fine Argentine wine, lively folk music, and traditional dances. Enjoy horseback riding, witness skilled equestrian performances, and take in the excitement of "sortija" and "cuadreras" races.
