8 days in Buenos Aires Itinerary

Cultural capital of South America, Buenos Aires remains one of the largest cities on the continent, serving as a point of departure for exploring the rest of the country.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Horseback Riding Tours and Planetario Ciudad de La Plata. Get out of town with these interesting Buenos Aires side-trips: Basilica de Lujan (in Lujan), Delta El Tigre (in Tigre) and Plaza Moreno (in La Plata). There's still lots to do: get the lay of the land with Walking tours, get a new perspective on nature at Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales Bernardino Rivadavia, examine the collection at Museo Del Bicentenario, and have fun and explore at Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires.
