Buenos Aires is a province with great diversity.

The Province of Buenos Aires is the country’s main touristic destination thanks to the array of places and proposals. From one end to the other of the province, there are highlights of its geographical settings, its traditions and the quality of its services. All of them still to be discovered by the new visitors.

Diversity is the keyword of the large touristic offering of the Buenos Aires Province; and it brings all year long millions of local and international visitors to its beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes, farms and “estancias” (ranchs), deltas, thermal waters and villages.

The “Pampas” of Buenos Aires have their symbol at the “estancias” and the “gauchos”. This legendary character, allows Argentineans to live a centennial rural tradition at the beginning of the twenty first century. Rural villages distributed all along the Buenos Aires Province tell the Argentinean history, next to large “estancias” that speak of an agricultural and live stock past; leather and silver craftsmen that open their shops to the public and a gastronomy based on the best meat of Argentina.

More than 300 estancias open to the tourists their splendid constructions, built in the most diverse styles and completely equipped with furniture and ornaments of the time. These Buenos Aires estancias offer first rate services that include gaucho shows and typical food. Other activities that you may perform are those typical of a rural establishment: everyday ranch tasks, horse riding, horse taming, rural dancing, and guitar playing around “fogones”, fire pits. You may also enjoy other recreation activities such as bicycle riding, trail walking, bird watching, fishing and sailing. Most of these establishments are less than 200 miles from the city of Buenos Aires and they are hosted by the owners.

The “Sierras” (mountains) are to the south of the Province of Buenos Aires. They are called Ventania and Tandilia systems and they are the ideal destination for the family and the adventure seekers. The Ventania System (ventana means window) receives its name because of the opening on one of its hills which resembles a window. And the “Sierras de Tandilia” system, one of the oldest on Earth, has rounded peaks easy to climb. This wild and virgin geography made of Buenos Aires plains, hills and forests is the ideal scenery for walking, trekking, parasailing, horse riding, parachuting, mountain bike, kayak, canopy, and 4x4 rides. It is also an ideal setting for photographic safaris.

The “Delta del Parana” is to the north-east of the Province, just 35 miles from Buenos Aires and offers 3000 square kilometers of green islands with forests, rivers, water channels and ponds only reachable through boats and catamarans. This is a different place, with its typical houses over pillars, museums and historical sites, sport clubs, week-end houses, traditions and its own way of life. Martin Garcia Island, an important natural reserve and historical site is located at the Parana and Uruguay rivers.

Other important options presented to the tourists are the “lagoons and rivers” that run through the Province of Buenos Aires. All of them offer excellent opportunities for fishing, nautical sports, boat riding or camping. To the north several rivers and streams make the Parana-Platense basin. At the center of the Province runs the Rio Salado with its mouth into the Bahia de Samborombon that builds a system of rivers, streams and lagoons. The lagoons account for important touristic centers for the week-end, like those of Junin, Lobos, Monte and Chascomus.
