BA favorite spots đŸ‡ŠđŸ‡·

 

Hi there!

 

If you’re here, it’s because we have met in person, or maybe we are going to – how wonderful! I hope you’re having a great time in our beautiful Buenos Aires! One of my favorite things to do in the city is going out exploring, and I’m also a foodie, so with this list you will find my top experiences and favorite places. I hope they are helpful 🙂

Let’s get started! If you are looking for experience, you have to try at least one of my top two. Not only are these hosts extremely passionate, the experience gives you a taste of Buenos Aires you cannot miss. 

My friends Lucho and Dario from Bike Explorer will take you on a relaxing sightseeing bike tour of our beautiful city. Buenos Aires has over XXX bike lanes and Lucho and Dario have selected the best route to discover to show you the hidden gems and places that you might not discover on a bus or walking tour, not to mention they are very friendly and also have e-bikes as an alternative option. 

Did you know that Argentina ranks as the world’s second-largest consumer of wine and the fifth-largest producer? My friends at The Authentic BA offer a unique Wine Tasting Experience, making it an ideal evening plan to savor some of the world’s finest wines right in the heart of Buenos Aires. 

They are not only wine experts; they also host an authentic 4-hour Asado Experience an authentic 4-hour Asado Experience, where you’ll learn all about this tradition, from the initial spark that sets the fire to the shared moments around the table. Their house is SO beautiful!

However, if you’re eager to explore further and discover other sights, I would definitely suggest going on their Sommelier’s Voyage: A Sailing Experience through the world’s largest river with a wine tasting aboard, all while watching the sun set over the city of Buenos Aires.

If you land up going to one of them, say hi from me! 😊
