The hum of an electric motor replaces the city’s usual cadence as riders gather at Plaza Independencia — Palacio Salvo rising behind, the Puerta de la Ciudadela marking where old walls once held the port. On an e-bike the city opens quickly: cobbled colonial squares give way to the broad sweep of the Rambla, where wind off the Río de la Plata dares you to lean into it and the water pushes the light across the beaches of Pocitos.

Conservation
