What to do and see in Province of Buenos Aires, Central Argentina: The Best Day Trips from

March 29, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

Buenos Aires (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbwenos ˈaiɾes], Provincia de Buenos Aires; English: "good airs") is the largest and most populous Argentinian province. It takes the name from the city of Buenos Aires, which used to be part of the province and the provincial capital until it was federalized in 1880. Since then, in spite of bearing the same name, the province does not include the national capital city proper, though it does include all other localities of the Greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area surrounding it. The current capital of the province is the city of La Plata, founded in 1882.

One of Argentina's most impressive industries has been agriculture and cattle raising. In this 9-hour private tour you will get to know the history and the insights of these two combined. Visit an Estancia, South American equivalent of a ranch/farm, and take in the culture of the Pampas. Taste an autenthic argentinian barbeque and enjoy a folkloric show.

We really enjoyed this virtual live experience all together. And even-though we decided to "only" watch, due to the time difference (after dinner for us), we had a great time learning more about how to properly cook Empanadas. Thanks again to Camila for making it very interesting, "tasteful"and fun and giving us the chance to discover the world of Empanadas and also sharing insights about Argentina with us.

We had the luxury of being in Buenos Aires for 2 days. We toured with Andres the first day and Brenda the second day. Both were excellent and I would highly recommend them! Very knowledgeable and fun to be with.

Not worth it, I'm afraid. Too expensive to get to see just one of the glaciers, the Spegazzini one. (The Upsala glacier can only be seen from afar, as it's deemed too risky to approach). The journey was too long and quite uncomfortable (the ferry I took was the Quo Vadis). Too many people travelling. The ferry was 80% full in Covid times, which I found unsensible and irresponsible. We could not choose where to sit or change seats afterwards. The Spegazzini refuge is partly open. You can take a (rather short) walk in the woods, but the café/restaurant/toilet area is (still) closed and looks quite derelict. I've taken other tours in the area (Perito Moreno Glacier/ Canal Beagle/Full day at Chalten) and they were less expensive, better organised and far more enjoyable than this one.

We chose Patrick for his rave reviews and we were not disappointed. Patrick picked us up at the ship after our cruise (6 of us with lots of luggage) . A spacious van awaited us with our private driver who stayed with our luggage when we stopped to sight see with Patrick. Patrick knows Buenos Aires and treated us royally. The best fun was when he found a small out of the way restaurant in La Boca called El Gran Paraiso for lunch. Talk about local flavor....the wine was awesome. We had steak and sausage cooked on the grill... the best steak I've ever had. Patrick took us to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Our cruise ended March 7, 2020 just as the Coronavirus was heating up and Patrick had many future cancellations. We hope that he's doing well and that people will once again begin to travel. If you get to Buenos Aires, you must call Patrick - in fact get him in advance because he's a rare find! Great job Patrick...thanks for the wonderful day and hope you're well!
