Description

Immerse yourself in a unique experience that will take you through the most iconic neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, combining a bike ride through its historic corners with a relaxing boat ride along the Río de la Plata. This tour is designed to give you an in-depth look at the city’s rich diversity, blending tradition and modernity in perfect harmony. The journey begins in the charming San Telmo neighborhood, the first settlement of the city and one of its oldest areas. Here, you’ll breathe in the history of Buenos Aires, walking through cobblestone streets full of art, tango, and life. San Telmo is famous for its traditional cafés, art galleries, and the iconic Plaza Dorrego, where antique fairs and street performances take place on weekends. Continue your ride, pedaling toward the colorful Caminito in La Boca. This vibrant pedestrian street, surrounded by brightly painted houses, is the heart of tango in Buenos Aires. In addition to its visual charm, Caminito is home to numerous local artists who display their work, creating a unique atmosphere at every step. After soaking up the bohemian spirit of La Boca, head towards the Río de la Plata, where the navigation part of the tour begins. Board a comfortable and safe boat to sail along the river, the widest in the world, and enjoy the city from a different perspective. Sail from the mouth of the Riachuelo, one of Buenos Aires’ most historic rivers, all the way to the modern Puerto Madero, one of the city’s most exclusive and rapidly developing neighborhoods. Here, observe the towering skyscrapers rising in the horizon, contrasting with the old docks and the new, architecturally stunning buildings. This tour offers a panoramic view that merges Buenos Aires' historic past with its fast-paced urban growth, showing you how the city has evolved over time. During the boat ride, enjoy the tranquility of the river’s waters, surrounded by the most spectacular views of the city’s waterfront, where Puerto Madero’s modern skyscrapers blend seamlessly with the classic architecture of the city, creating a perfect balance between the old and the new.
