LOCATION
BS AS PLAN
Buenos aires bus for friends babus It is a double-decker, roofless bus, to explore the
whole city hoping on and off at 24 stops. You may also choose a shorter route, this is the
Blue Line, with five stops only: the Planetarium, Aeroparque (Local Airport), Chinatown,
Holy Land and the River Plate Stadium. You may also combine this tour together with the
Yellow Line, which is the longest route. For the longest route, the BAbus departs from
Florida and Avenida Diagonal and it ends at the Colon Opera House. In this three-hour
tour visitors will get to know the downtown area, La Boca, Chinatown as well as other city
highlights. And this is exactly what dazzles visitors most: the possibility to enjoy the
elegance of Recoleta, the colors of Caminito, the Floralis Genérica (a huge silver flower
sculpture that has become part of the urban landscape) or the beauty of Puerto Madero in
a single tour.
Plan B offers the possibility to go on a
biking tour. For the last six years, and as
most of the main capital cities in the world,
Buenos Aires has had bike paths, which
make the city an increasingly greener place
advocating for “sustainable means of
transport”. As a result, today you can cycle
(from south to north, from east to west)
along 130 km of bike paths. For further
information check:

BUENOS AIRES´S ATTRACTIONS
BENITO QUINQUELA MARTIN
“Caminito” is an
abandoned railroad that
the famous painter Benito
Quinquela Martin together
with some neighbors
turned into an outdoors
museum to encourage
artists and craftsmen from
La Boca in the 1950s.
There is also a Museum
founded by the author, with
more than 90 pieces of art.
His art was inspired by the
intense port life at La Boca.
The room "Old Masters"
brings together works of art
of the foremost Argentinian
figurative artists of the first
half of the twentieth
century.

BAROLO PALACE
Just five blocks away from the Café Tortoni, there stands another
historical wonder called Barolo Palace. It is located at Avenida de
Mayo 1370 and until the Kavannagh Building was built in 1935, it was
not only the highest building in the city (it is 100 feet high to the top of
the lighthouse) but also in South America.
Beyond what the eye meets, there lies the heavenly architecture
inspired (and influenced in every detail) by Dante's Divine Comedy.
Both, the owner, Luigi Barolo, and Mario Palanti, the architect of this
masterpiece building, were deep admirers of Dante Alighieri, and
every detail of the building can be identified in the epic poem.
Therefore, the building is divided into three sections (Hell, Purgatory
and Heaven) and there are lines of Dante's Divine Comedy written on
the ceiling. One of the joint plans of Barolo and Palanti was to have
Dante´s remains shipped and kept in the building, which would be the
mausoleum of the great poet.
This is a building worth visiting due to its history. There are guided
tours and night visits to climb up to the “beacon” that crowns the top
of the building on the 22nd floor.
7
COLON THEATER
For its size, acoustics and history, is considered one of the
best in the world. Symbol of opera in Buenos Aires, offers
shows of opera, ballet, symphonic concerts, chamber and
educationals over a hundred years ago.
There are guided tours every day. For more information see
the following link: http://www.teatrocolon.org.ar

LOVE
Founded in 1858, the Café Tortoni (at Avenida de
Mayo 825) has everything to be what it is: a
"remarkable" café in Buenos Aires, crowded with
foreigners excited about its boiserie, its lamps and its
airs of glorious past. Or it may also be about its tango
shows (every night) or its ghosts: the shadows of all
those illustrious customers who used to go there, like
Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Gardel, Alfonsina Storni,
Federico García Lorca and many others. You can´t
miss its typical “chocolate with churros”.
9
FUTBOL and PASSION
If you really want to feel as a tourist in Buenos Aires, you can´t miss visiting its stadiums and museums.
Boca Juniors Museum was the first museum in Latin America that was fully devoted to football. This visit combines the colorful past of the
neighborhood together with the team's accomplishments that led it to be one of the top football teams in the world. At the museum you may find
from a reconstruction of La Boca Neighborhood from the last century to images of the original stadium, which was entirely made of wood.
The museum circuit also includes projections
that make you feel like being "there" in the
middle of a football match. There are Cups,
pictures, films, old magazines, awards, t-shirts
and even a special place where the most
passionate fans can stamp their names
forever at the “Bombonera”, in a yellow star
shape.
The same passion, but only red and
white this time, can be found at the River
Plate Museum. There you can admire
their trophies or cups, and other
memorabilia of the seven decades of the
club. The museum is open daily from 10
am to 7 pm and there are guided tours of
the stadium every hour. Your heart will
beat faster just by walking around the
“Monumental”.
THE CEREMONY OF BARBECUE
The barbecue is a ritual in Argentina, as much as “mate”
and “dulce de leche”. A ritual that not requires special
occasions, although it is easier to celebrate a Sunday with
all the time in the world.
First make sure you have all the necessary meat: the
entrails, inevitable throughout grill, and favorite cuts of
Argentinian.
The best is getting quebracho wood to make the fire. This is
the most aromatic hardwood that can be found and also the
one that takes more time to consume. It delays to become
coals. Just wait an hour that the fire is ready to place the
meat. Therefore, you must know wait, and drink wine, and
eat pies while conversing and reaches the key point.

TERMAS
SAN JOSE PALACE
PALMARES
MISIONES
JESUIT RUINS
Some of the Guarani Jesuit
Missions have been declared
a World Heritage Site by
UNESCO. Each one is
characterized by a specific
plan and a different condition.
In 1984, four missions
located in Argentina were
recognized by Unesco: the
ruins of “San Ignacio Mini”,
“Santa Ana”, “Nuestra
Señora de Loreto” and “Santa
Maria Maggiore”.
IGUAZU FALLS
They were caused by a geological fault about 200,000 years ago at the confluence of the Iguazu and
Paraná Rivers – this place is currently known as "Landmark of the Three Frontiers".
The Iguazu Falls are considered to be one of the world´s wonders. There are 23 kilometers (about 14
miles) from its origin to the Devil's Throat (the famous narrow rift).

WINE, ARGENTINA´S
“NATIONAL DRINK”
TOURISM IN ARGENTINA
"The Argentine wine is an honorable
ambassador to the world and it makes
Argentinians proud as they are able to consume
at the domestic market the same wines that are
exported and that contribute to the country´s
prestige in every continent," stated the
presidential decree that declared Wine as a
national drink, on November 24th, 2010.
“POTRERO DE LOS FUNES”
SAN LUIS
The town “Potrero de los Funes”, built by the fascinating
namesake lake, shows its beauty in the eyes of those who
come from different points to enjoy its multiple itineraries.
One of the first options is starting the tour with a simple but
exciting walk around the lake, or on its waters, by boat and
canoe.
Fishing, horseback riding through mountains, ravines,
gullies and streams; trekking with spectacular scenery;
mountain bike activities on gentle plains of picturesque
valleys or by ups and downs; climbing, abseiling,
photographic safaris, make your holiday an amazing and
exciting experience in this small place.
CALAFATE
This picturesque village on the shores of Argentino
Lake, makes up the senior resort of Santa Cruz.
Founded in 1927, the city takes its name after the
thorny bush with strong tincture fruits that
stretches across the southern Patagonian region.
Lying on the side of the surrounding plateaus, it
has a very benign microclimate that makes it an
oasis for tourists arriving after traveling through
the arid landscape of the Patagonian plains.
The Calafate stream, which divides the town in
two, is a heaven of tranquility with its rocky bed
surrounded by willows leaning on its banks.

TOURISM IN ARGENTINA
TRAIN to THE CLOUDS
The train runs from Salta City to the “Polvorilla” viaduct every day, all year round, except for the 90 days of the austral summer; time of
frequent rains with landslides that hinder railways. The height of the tracks reaches 4,220 meters above the sea level, and this is one of the
highest railways in the world. The journey takes about 16 hours and it goes through 29 bridges, 21 tunnels, 13 viaducts, 2 curves and 2
zigzags. Throughout the tour, there are only two stops: one in Saint Antonio station, and the other one at the “Polvorilla” viaduct. The train
has services such as: dining car, medical office, audio, video and bilingual guides, private security and ambulance accompanying the train.
THE END OF THE WORLD - USHUAIA
Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world (the end of the world
or the beginning of everything, say the locals), is the capital of the
province of Tierra del Fuego (Land of fire , Antarctica and South
Atlantic Islands.
Located along the Beagle Channel and surrounded to the west by
the Martial Mountains and east by the Monte Olivia and Mount
Five Brothers, offers a unique landscape in Argentina that is the
combination of mountains, sea, glaciers and forests.
The capricious topography has generated an extremely
picturesque city that combines colors and unevenness with the
silhouette of the Andes in the background. Is appreciably the
contrast between modern buildings and wooden houses with tin
roofs gable, which give a particular feature.
