Itineraries in Buenos Aires

Tours ideas

Visit the historical complex of Plaza de Mayo, surrounded by the Government House, the Cathedral and the historical Cabildo, a beautiful 18th century building. Walk through one of the first avenues the city ever had, the Avenida de Mayo, seeing plenty of architectural samples of the end of the 19th century.

The tour continues south, to the oldest quarters of the city. Arrival to the traditional neighbourhood of San Telmo, with its cobblestone streets and its renowned antique fair, and to the picturesque area of La Boca, a colourful world where local artists show their paintings along the historical Caminito Street.

To the north, the tour visits the lakes in Palermo and its residential area. Finally, in the sophisticated La Recoleta quarter, one of the most exclusive ones, with elegant cafés and restaurants, we visit Our Lady of Pilar Church, said to be the oldest in the city, and the unique Northern Cemetery, to see the grave with Eva Perón's mortal remains.

Polo experience

Although polo is currently played in 77 countries, only in some of them, such as Argentina, is practised in competitions. The Argentine polo team has historically been one the strongest ones in the world, it has achieved two gold medals in the Olympic Games and is the one that has won more times the World Polo Competition with four titles in total. The players with the highest handicaps in the world are Argentinians and the best polo teams in the world are Argentinians too. Argentina is a country with polo tradition. That is why this experience allows to not only try to feel as a polo player for a day, but also to get in contact with a whole world that talks about our sport identity. This experience can be offered in any of the most representative polo ranches in the Province of Buenos Aires, where experienced professional polo players give the participants an introduction to the sport teaching them some basic strokes and positions so they can then ride on horseback and try the necessary movements to play polo. This experience is available also for those who do not know how to ride a horse! The activity can include a polo match demonstration performed by polo players of the area. Since this experience is performed in a ranch, it can combine the game with regional gastronomy, such as the traditional Argentinian asado (barbecue) accompanied with local wines and home-made pastries for tea time.
