Overnight in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is an interesting city filled with culture, attractions, beauty, and lots of things to do.  It is recommended that you overnight either on the way to or from Patagonia, to enjoy a day or two in the city. Staying the night in Buenos Aires gives you the best opportunity to rest before your fly fishing adventure. City tours, tango show, polo matches, soccer game, and dinner reservations can all be made for you by our travel experts. Other arrangements can be made by the hotel concierge.

For example: if you like art, history, or antiques, you might enjoy visiting contemporary and classic art museums, art galleries, history museums, or go to San Telmo's town and visit the extraordinary antique markets.
