Provincia de Buenos Aires Travel Forum

Traveling to Mar Del plata with my sister and we're both 30s single and want to have some fun. We were wondering if we should be in Mar del plata or Mendoza for New Years... any suggestions? Thanks!

It is my understanding that there are 2 trains to Tigre from BA.: one the Tren de la Costa and the other a 'regular' train. I certainly want to tale Tren de la Costa one way but am unsure as to doing round trip. Are there any advantages doing RT? doing one one way and the other return?

Also is it necessary to take an excursion tour boat to really see the area, or can it be done by just using their 'water taxis' between points of interests and restaurants.

Thanks

Hi,

I'll be in Buenos Aires in a couple of weeks. I'd like to check out the nightlife but would like to go someplace where Americans over 40 wouldn't feel out of place. Any recommendations would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi!
Can anyone recommend me some good salsa places in Buenos Aires for dancing salsa! I am not looking for salsa classes, but bars or discos where I could hang out and dance salsa (with live music probably)!

Thank you!!!

My girlfriend and I will be visiting Buenos Aires from California during the Boca v. River game (19th of April, 2009)and were hoping to see the match. There is a place that does tours (tangol.com) where they pick you up and take you to the game with a bilingual guide. They are asking $400 US. I know this is a huge match, but does that price sound right to you? Seems very high... What other options do we have? Can we purchase tickets the day of the match? Do we have to worry about counterfeit tickets? Does anyone live in BsAs? Have you been to any games there? Any tips you could give us would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Robbie

Hi Vts,

Hola.
I am looking for airline that fly to Buenos Aires from London/Australia/or any country in asia pacific? The current flight from my country (malaysia) is way too expensive for a budget traveller like me.
Can anyone please recommned?

Has anyone stayed at this hotel? We will be there 25-29Feb09...or other suggestions are welcome.

Hello

On Sat 14th Feb Glasgow Rangers will play Glasgow Celtic at 1230 GMT.(roughly 0930 in BsAs I think?)
While I realise nobody in BsAs will give a monkeys , trust me it is our version of Boca v River. Does anyone know where I could watch this game or if there are Supporters Clubs of either team in BsAs which might be showing the game on some obscure satellite channel.
Many thanks for any replies

My sister and I will be going to Buenos Aires end of October/ begining of November.

We've both never been before and don't know where to stay. We are looking into the Hilton in Puerto Madero because it seems very nice and affordable. But I have no idea about the location.

We are 24 and 27 and not really into the club scene, but we would like to try nice restaurants and cafes, and do sight-seeing and shopping during the day.

We are willing to pay for cab rides, throughout the city, but don't know how expensive they are.

Necesito informacion sobre turismo, hoteles, restaurants, carreteras, clima y atracciones en la ciudad de Moron, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Hello

Can anyone suggest an Estancia relatively near to BsAs. We will be in BsAs in Feb 09 and we are looking for one which has a bit of luxury and will cater for inexperienced riders.
Can you also suggest when we should try and book the estancia ie do they get fully booked months in advance.

Many thanks in advance

Can anyone recommend any of the following hotels or tell me if I shouldn't consider any of the following:
-Moreno Hotel
-725 Continental
-Mine Hotel
-Loi Suites
-5 Buenos Aires
-The Cocker
-Esplendour Buenos Aires
-Melia Recoleta Plaza

I will be in B.A. for about 3-4 days and want a place that is close to the sights and nice.

Thanks!

Dear forum members,

Early October we will arrive in Buenos Aires and spend a few days here before we start exploring the rest of the country. We will be travelling with young children. Can any of you recommend particular areas in Buenos Aires where we should (or should not) find accommodation? Perhaps even some recommendations for accommodation itself (hotel/apartment, medium price)? Any tips where to go in Buenos Aires with small children?

All help is highly appreciated!

Cheers, fam. Van den Heuvel.

I'm planning to ski Bariloche in August. It'll be my first time in Argentina, though I'm not a stranger to international travel other places. Naturally, my flight into the country lands at EZE, but then the flight to Bariloche leaves from AEP. What's my best bet (American with VERY limited Spanish -- enough to stumble my way through a basic transaction, I think, if I can get you to be patient and speak slowly to me) for getting myself from EZE to AEP? Although I haven't decided for certain if I'll take them, assume that I'm going to have my 185 cm skis with me. Once I clear customs and all, where should I be going to get transportation to AEP? What should I be looking for? Expected cost and duration of drive?

Thanks for any help!

We're looking at a particular tour from "Gotmyfare" that would have us stay at the Hotel Sarmiento or Roma Plaza(or equivilant) in BA, and the Hotel Atlantic or Hotel Royalty(or equivilant)in Rio. Has anyone ever used them? What's your experience with them?
Any info on hotels and/or location would be appreciated. Also, we would be traveling in December. What's the weather like then? I know it's Summer.
Please do not suggest independent travel.
Thanks, Irv

Hola! I just moved to Bahia Blanca and was wondering what the possibilities are in the area for outdoor activities (hiking, biking, etc) and nature observation? I'd like to add that I do not have a car...

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!! :-)

We are a family of 4 that will travel Argentina for the first time in October-November 2007. Because we will travel with small children (2 and 4 years old at that time) we would like to travel as few as possible. We are thinking of travelling one day or night and then stay at one place for at least 3-5 days. As accomodation we prefer cabanas/apartments/family rooms (in hotels or hostels).

We would like to spend one week of our stay in Argentina on the beach (just to relax on the beach with the kids and maybe do some day trips to interesting places). We were thinking of staying at Miramar in either October or November, on our way from or to Buenos Aires.

The questions we have:
1. Is Miramar a good choice for a week beach holiday with small kids?
2. Are there any interesting site trips (also for kids) to do from this place?
3. Can you recommend accomodation that is not too expensive?

Thanking you in advance!

I am going to MdP at the end of November to meet up with my husband. I am wondering what type of clothes to bring with me. I don't want to stand out too much, but I am a casual type of girl. I love to wear shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops. I don't usually care TOO much about what people think, but I don't want to embarrass my husband. I do own a couple of dress outfits and some dress shoes so I do like to dress up too. I don't know what the temperature's going to be like, as we are still warm here in Florida so I don't yet have my Winter wardrobe. I hope somebody can please help me, as I need a lot of help and have LOTS more questions!!
Thank you in advance!
