Buenos Aires, Argentina Travel Guide - Biking & Hiking (Outdoor Activities)
Go to this ecological reserve to escape from the city.
Other Information
Activities available at Ecological Reserve: Hiking, Biking, Bird Watching etc.
When Argentines want to escape the city's hustle and bustle, they come here. The only ecological reserve in the city, situated near trendy Puerto Madero. On a nice day you will see locals hiking, biking and taking a stroll. Well we sort of felt lost in Buenos Aires so we thought we would sort of do something different, so we thought we would hire some bikes. I recommend it here, we feel like home, we take our bikes for a spin around. It is nice to be sort of away from the city and it is just peaceful and no pollution or anything, it is quite nice.
In the nature reserve you can see the city but you cannot hear it. There are bird viewing platforms for you serious bird watchers all over the reserve. So how did this reserve come about? The answer may surprise you. It actually was never planned. Debris from the construction of the city was dumped here into the river plate and it created a landfill, which attracted birds and plants, so now we have this beautiful reserve.
After a 15 minute walk, I am finally here. They tell me that on clear days, we can actually see Uruguay. Right now it is a bit cloudy, but I do trust that that is the case. On week days the sense of quiet and solitude is wonderful. On weekends it is full of people picnicking and sometimes it can get very crowded. A lot of the wildlife are nocturnal, but do not worry, even if the reserve is closed at night, you can request a specific tour for specific nights, just ask at the visitor center. It is time for me to get back to the hustle and bustle of the city. I am Veronica de Aboitiz, showing you Buenos Aires.

Argentine Breakfast in Buenos Aires, Argentina Travel Video Transcript:
So today's video is all about breakfast and the plan is to show you an Argentinian breakfast. Or a desayunar.
Now we wanted to go to a really nice cafe that is near the Recoleta Cemetery; however, it is pouring rain outside so we just ran out of our apartment and found the nearest cafe and popped in. So we've placed our order, we are hungry and yeah we're going to be showing you what breakfast looks like in this part of the world.
So Sam our breakfast has arrived. Breakfast has arrived. I am a very happy boy. Well, the cool thing about breakfast in Argentina is that they like to keep it simple and sweet. And that makes it one of my favorite meals here.
So I'm pretty happy with what I ordered. I got Café con leche which is coffee with milk. The milk is super frothy by the way. Check that out. I'm not even a coffee drinker. I normally go for tea but when in Argentina you've got to do it right. You've got to get some coffee. And then over here I have my medialuna. Which is like a croissant. This one is made with butter and I have facturas which are little pastries. So this one is made with crema pastelera which is kind of like a yellow cream similar to Boston Cream. And this one is stuffed with quince jam. So super excited about that. This is going to be a good breakfast and I'm just going to dig right in. I'm not waiting for you. Ha!
Mmmm.
So, I bit most of the jam out but if you have a look inside. It is like a little croissant roll. A butter roll stuffed with quince jam which is so good. Mmmhmmm.
So Sam can you tell us what you ordered for breakfast. I sure can. So if you take a look down here I'm having something called tostadas which essentially is toast. Yes. It is a massive generous portion. It's a lot of toast. 6 slices. Yeah, I was thinking maybe like two slices but I've got six. And what I'm most excited about here is this is like a whipped butter and it looks amazing. So I'm just going to pour it, not pour it, spread it all over and then take a bit of the jam. I wonder what kind of jam it is. It looks like it may be cherry jam actually. Cherry or a dark raspberry. So getting that ready. Let's see how good this toast is. Wow.
That is some mighty fine toast. Starting the day with sugar. Oh, yeah.
And beverage of choice this morning? Yeah, and for me the best part about Argentine breakfast is the coffee. The quality of the coffee is superb. And I ordered one with con leche. Cafe con leche which means a generous portion of milk and wow is it ever good. I usually put in one pack of sugar, stir it around and it is like perfection. It is magic. Perfection in a cup.
Have a sip. I could have this any time of day. Not just for breakfast. And breakfast also came with orange juice today. It did. How is that? Is it from concentrate? Or freshly squeezed? You know what, it actually tastes freshly squeezed but the pulp has been removed. So good quality orange juice too. We are going to be on some kind of a sugar high by the time we're done all of this food and drink.
Well, as you as you can see we had no trouble devouring that. Yeah, we polished that all off. It is time for price point. Yes, so basically it was 60 pesos per person which right now is between 4 to 5 US dollars. And in some cheaper cafes you can get it for like three but this one is like a really nice quality meal. And they're really generous with the portions and the quality of the food was good so excellent value I'd say. So you're satisfied? Very much. I may need a siesta after breakfast. A morning siesta.
This is part of our Travel in Argentina series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Argentine culture, Argentine arts, Argentine foods, Argentine religion, Argentine cuisine and Argentine people.

Os melhores pontos turísticos de Buenos Aires
Os melhores pontos turísticos de Buenos Aires
Se você vai para a capital argentina pela primeira vez, certamente você vai querer saber o que fazer em Buenos Aires!
Devido a proximidade do Brasil, Buenos Aires pode ser o primeiro destino internacional para os brasileiros.
Sem dúvida nenhuma é uma cidade apaixonante, despertando o desejo de muitos para voltar.
Com uma arquitetura charmosa cidade tem vários pontos turísticos, parques, restaurantes e opções de entretenimento.
Confira agora os 10 pontos turísticos que você não pode deixar de conhecer quando for a Buenos Aires:
1. Plaza de Mayo
Plaza de Mayo ou Praça de Maio como também é conhecida, é o coração de Buenos Aires.
É lá que ocorrem as populares manifestações.
Sem falar que ao caminhar por lá você poderá visitar outros famosos pontos turísticos da cidade, como é o casa da:
Casa Rosada, o Congresso, a famosa Catedral Catedral Metropolitana, onde o Papa Francisco fazia suas missas.
2. Casa Rosada
A Casa Rosada é um dos símbolos do pais e a sede da presidência da argentina.
É possível visitá-la por dentro, através de visitas guiadas.
Há várias explicações para a sua cor rosa: desde que representaria a união de dois partidos políticos até quanto ao uso de sangue bovino misturado à tinta naquela época.
3. Av. 9 de Julho, Av. Corrientes e o Obelisco
Reserve um tempo para passear na Av. 9 de Julho, conhecer o Obelisco, a Av. Corrientes, que é cheia de espetáculos e shows.
Localizado no cruzamentos entre as avenidas Corrientes e 9 de Julho, o Obelisco é um monumento histórico de Buenos Aires, criado para comemorar os 400 anos de fundação da cidade.
Ah, vale lembrar que no passado a Av. 9 de Julho já foi considerada a avenida mais larga do mundo.
4. Café Tortoni e livraria El Ateneo
Ainda passeando pelo centro da cidade, vale a pena conferir o tradicional Café Tortoni, uma cafeteria inaugurada em 1858, onde come-se muito bem.
E não deixe de passar pela famosa livraria El Ateneo, que antigamente era um teatro.
Sua estrutura antiga que é conservada, chama muito a atenção dos turistas, e é uma loja incrível!
5. Caminito
Se você não quer deixar para trás um dos pontos turísticos mais simbólicos, não pode deixar de ir ao Caminito.
Um lugar colorido, com janelas e paredes de todas as cores chama a atenção dos turistas.
É uma rua-museu a céu aberto, extremamente turística, repleta de lojas, restaurantes e ateliês locais.
Caminito recebeu esse nome devido a um tango, cujas letras estão gravadas em algumas paredes do lugar.
Se você gosta de lembranças de viagens, lá é o lugar ideal para comprar lembrancinhas ou fazer aquela típica foto.
Neste lugar o assédio aos turistas pode ser grande. Tenha cuidado ao andar com seus pertences.
6. Cemitério da Recoleta
Pode soar estranho um cemitério ser um ponto turístico, mas isso é verdade!
O Cemitério da Recoleta, um dos mais tradicionais bairros de Buenos Aires, é muito procurado por turistas.
Lá estão enterradas algumas celebridades argentinas, como o General Alvear e Evita Perón, que sempre tem flores nos túmulos.
Se tiver sorte, você conseguira acompanhar uma visita guiada gratuita dentro do cemitério, e assim poderá conhecer fatos curiosos sobre os túmulos.
7. Floralis Generica, Jardim Japonês e Zoológico
Quem prefere passeios ao ar livre não pode deixar de visitar à Floralis Generica, uma obra de metal em forma de flor cujas pétalas se fecham à noite,
ou ir ao Jardim Japonês, que encanta pelo cuidado primoroso de seus jardins.
Se você estiver com crianças deve visitar o jardim zoológico da cidade, onde é possível interagir com alguns bichos e alimentá-los.
8. Teatro Colón
Motivo de orgulho dos portenhos, o Teatro Colón impressiona pela riqueza de detalhes em seu interior.
Considerado um dos melhores teatros de ópera do mundo, merece sua visita para um espetáculo ou pelo menos uma visita guiada, para se deslumbrar com a arquitetura e decoração interna do edifício.
9. Puerto Madero
Quer conhecer um pouco da parte mais nova da cidade? Não deixe de visitar Puerto Madero.
A área portuária revitalizada e que hoje tem excelentes restaurantes, edifícios altos e novos, é um dos lugares mais procurados pelos turistas.
Aproveite para visitar a Puente de la Mujer e a Fragata Sarmiento, primeiro navio-escola da Argentina, que atualmente funciona como museu.
10. Calle Florida
Se você pensa em fazer compras, a Calle Florida é o lugar certo.
Essa é uma das ruas mais movimentadas de Buenos Aires. Lá é possível encontrar lojas de todos os tipos e gostos, especialmente de roupas e calçados.
Neste lugar o assédio aos turistas pode ser grande, ainda mais quando o assunto é câmbio de moedas. Tenha muito cuidado ao andar com seus pertences.
E você já foi para Buenos Aires? Conte nos comentários que lugares você visitou e quais deles mereciam entrar na lista.
Até o proximo destino!

What to do in BUENOS AIRES. Best City in South America? Travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina ????????
What should you do in Buenos Aires, Argentina? Well we visit Buenos Aires for the first time and found some absolutely amazing things to do in the city!
We start things off in the Japanese Gardens (Jardín Japonés)! These gardens are quiet and idyllic and feel like an oasis in the middle of the city, they also happen to be the largest gardens of their type outside of Japan.
Next up was a very famous place in Buenos Aires and must-do while in the city- La Recoleta Cemetery. This is considered one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world and contains the graves of some of the most famous and notable people in Argentinian history.
After this we headed to another super notable place in Recoleta, a very famous bookstore called El Ateneo Grand Splendid. Just like the cemetery, it is considered one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world- mainly because it’s situated in a former opera house. You can still see where the stage (now a coffee shop), and opera boxes were.
Lastly we head back to the area we stayed in called Palermo Hollywood to grab some drinks and food. Buenos Aires is full of interesting and diverse restaurants, not just asado which you might expect- but also loads of international foods. We found a place called KOI Beer and Dumplings where we had both beer and delicious dumplings.
ABOUT BUENOS AIRES
Buenos Aires is Argentina’s big, cosmopolitan capital city. Its center is the Plaza de Mayo, lined with stately 19th-century buildings including Casa Rosada, the iconic, balconied presidential palace. Other major attractions include Teatro Colón, a grand 1908 opera house with nearly 2,500 seats, and the modern MALBA museum, displaying Latin American art.

Discovering Buenos Aires Argentina | 80+ Countries w/3 kids
Join us as we reminisce about our past trip to Buenos Aires Argentina!
We got there from Punta del Este and then we went on a 3 hour bus drive to Colonia only to catch the 1 hour ferry to Buenos Aires in time for an evening ride with a sunset view!
Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina and the birthplace of tango! The city’s port is the biggest and the most significant one in South America.
We also visited the Boca neighborhood which is famous for its colorful houses on the little walkway called El Caminito and its fútbol stadium ‘La Bombonera, home of the soccer team Boca Juniors.
El Caminito (tiny street) is a one-time railway route lined with the brightest facades that you’ve ever seen but which make La Boca postcard perfect. Named for a 1926 tango song, the pedestrian lane features an outdoor fair where artists sell their wares and tango dancers prance along the sidewalk in between photo ops with tourists.
Enjoy the video and make sure you let us know where you're watching from!

Feria De San Telmo: San Telmo Sunday Fair Market in Buenos Aires, Argentina Travel Video Transcript:
So it is a new day in the city and today we are taking you to a different neighborhood. We're going to be checking out San Telmo. Yes, and San Telmo is the oldest neighborhood in all of Buenos Aires. It also has a bit of a different feel. Like some parts of this city look a bit French. This looks a bit more colonial. And it is artsy. It is very bohemian, very hippie and there is going to be all kinds of vendors selling different trinkets. There is going to be food, there is going to be a lot different cool stuff so we're going to check it out. And it happens, the big market always happens on Sunday. And today is Sunday! It is Sunday.
(Spanish street performer music)
So we are hearing lots of cool music in this part of town. Any favorites so far? Yeah, I mean you've got all kinds of different music. I really like that alternative band. They're just jamming like crazy on the street corner. Yeah, they were having fun. They were having fun. There is also lots of Tango as is to be expected. Yeah. Tango time. A bit of something for everyone.
(Tango music on the street)
(Bargaining in Spanish)
So there is a lot of cool street art in this neighborhood and we just found the iconic mural with Che Guevara. Yes. Pretty easy to find actually. It is still there. It is still there. We weren't sure if was going to be. Yeah, I saw that one maybe like 6 or 7 years ago when I visited and it is still around. Way before we even met.
So aside from the outdoor market there is a really cool indoor market where you can buy food and antiques. So we're in here right now. Let's go have a look.
So this is something I find really strange. At the market they are selling people's old family photos. And you can even find like government documents. It is a bit odd. I'm not sure how this ended up at a flea market. And I wonder where these families are. How they feel about their possessions being sold. Family moments.
And that is a wrap from San Telmo. We didn't walk away with any souvenirs. Empty handed over here. But it was still really fun checking out the neighborhood, checking out the street art, listening to some music. People watching. People watching too. My gosh. Some really good people watching in this part of town. So you come for the experience definitely. And if you pick-up a souvenir or something that is a bonus. Yes. So I think we're going to call it a day. Maybe go back have a siesta and eat some cake. Because cake and coffee is a thing here. Oh yeah.
This is part of our Travel in Argentina series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Argentine culture, Argentine arts, Argentine foods, Argentine religion, Argentine cuisine and Argentine people.

Northern Argentinian Food in Buenos Aires Argentina Travel Video Transcript:
#eatArgentina
Alright, so for today's meal we're eating at a place called Cumaná in Buenos Aires. And this restaurant specializes in Northern Argentine food. So these are dishes that you might find in the region of Salta or Jujuy. And the truth is that when we were traveling in Northern Argentina we didn't actually eat a lot of Northern Argentine food aside from empanadas. So it'll be interesting to finally sample those dishes in the capital.
So the food came rather quickly. It is already at the table. And since it is a bit of a cooler day outside we decided to both order stews.
I'm having one that is called Locro. And it kind of comes in this metal bowl that is really hot and I already made the mistake of touching it. So that won't happen again. But here you can see it is like really thick. You can see the chunks of corn in there. Wow. You have some spring onions, a little bit of spice. That looks so good. Yeah, you'll have to stir it around.
Yeah, let's mix it all in. That's probably how you're supposed to eat it anyway. I'd say. So let's mix it all in. And look at that. So it has different cuts of meat as well. I believe this one has pork and beef.
It is very rich and thick. It is like a nice stew.
Okay, so Sam you're having something called Carbonada Criolla which is also stew. Yes, and mine appears to be piping hot as well. It kind of has the texture and appearance of a chili. It look a bit like chili. And mine has got carrots and it has got corn. It has got beef. Let's try that. A little bit of everything.
Oh, that is delicious. I'm honestly usually not the biggest fan of stews but this is like almost as thick as a chillie. Yeah. Yeah. It is really good and it is quite sweet too. Yeah, and it is really the perfect weather to be having this. It is. It is a little bit rainy these past few days. And I like that it has got a generous amount of meat. And you taste the corn and the carrots a lot. And there is also potato in there as well too. So yeah, this is the perfect dish for us to be having on a cold day in Buenos Aires.
And pretty much every meal you've been having here in Argentina has been paired with wine. Well, it is just so cheap and so good. I mean the quality of Argentine wine is fantastic. And their national grape, the one that they're most famous for, is producing a Malbec wine.
So everyone watching our videos has already seen us try savory empanadas but today we're having sweet ones for dessert. Yeah, and I don't know how I have any room considering how hearty that stew was. I am full from all of that wine too.
We are going to try some special ones. These are very unique. This one has dulce de leche.
This is called Cayote. And it is a fruit that you find in Northern Argentina. I've never seen it before. But I asked the waiter to kind of try and compare it to something and he said it is kind of like a watermelon. Except it is white and that then when you boil it you kind of get these fibers. And you just cook it with sugar and it turns into this like really sweet jam. And they use it as a filling for empanadas. So, it is called Cayote.
So Sam seems pretty pleased with the price. Would that be accurate? Yes, that was a fantastic price. 282 Pesos, so that is less than 20 US dollars and for that amount of money we got two massive stews, we got the soda siffon, I get a generous bottle of wine and we got two dessert empanadas. And I have to say that the quality here was fantastic. Even the bread that was served prior to our meal was a really good homemade quality bread. This is one of my new favorite restaurants in all of Buenos Aires.
