Day trips from Buenos Aries?

Question

What sort of day trips can I do from Buenos Aries (Apart from Uruguay). Are there wine tours from BA?

Answer 1

Sorry no wine tours around Buenos Aires, for one day trips you have beaches at Bs As coast, Estancias around where you can enjoy asado(typical grill-BBQ beef)ride horses, and enjoy a day looking tipical dances and activities.

I particularly can recommend you one called Estancia Santa Elena

You can visit the site at www.estanciasantaelena.com

There are some park around Bs As, like Pereira Iraola Going to La Plata, about 30 miles south for route2, but there are not to much to do there.

You can go to San Pedro about 80miles North of Bs As for route 9 and spend one day of camping at the Parana River.

If you like you can go to the beer park of Quilmes there are a restaurant and cheap tab beer (quilmes is the best beer)

Don't you forget to go to watch a soccer game at the Monumental Stadium or go to La Boca Stadium , both around downtown.

Then there are places like San Telmo but those are more turistic destinations.

Good luck !!

  

  

Answer 2

There are many tours you might take in Buenos Aires or around the province of Buenos Aires and it is advisable to seek out one of the better and well established providers of tours such as Argentina Inside. There are lots of good wines tastings in Buenos Aires run by various groups, go to http://www.buenosairesstay.com and ask the advisors to point you in the right direction. They are very helpful and have a list of the better 'wine experiences' in BA that are not just about selling you overpriced plonk.  You can email your request via their website.  Advice is free and BA Stay is a well established and knowledgeable agency in Buenos Aires.  Once they have pointed you in the right direction and your palette is on fire with Argentina’s fantastic vino tinto please let us know your thoughts and recommendations.  Also, try my favourite ‘olde-worlde’ vintner in Buenos Aires – Vinos Argentinos Tucuman 565 – just love that shop and the old boy in there has a wealth of knowledge and some really good stuff tucked away.  A Bonus! You may taste too!    

Answer 3

NO wine, unless you want to fly to MENDOZA!

You have beaches in the summer (November to March) at about 400kms or 250miles. Mar del Plata, Pinamar, etc.

Also:

Estancias (farms/ranches)

Delta (one of the widest in the world)
