More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning in Buenos Aires can turn into an afternoon in a watery maze: you leave the city’s grid, feel the train slow, and then set off on two wheels where the air smells of river and grass. The route moves from the modern edge of Puerto Madero through leafy San Isidro—its cathedral and colonial homes a quiet contrast—before opening to the wide, braided channels of the Paraná Delta. Canals nudge at your attention; boats slide like punctuation between stilt houses.
