Floraris Generica - Park Neighborhood
We will head towards the north of Buenos Aires, when arriving to Recoleta area we will pass next to the Floraris Generica monument and the Law School of the University of Buenos Aires.
Few driving minutes later we will enter the Park Neighborhood, a residential area of low rises that display different kinds of architecture located in a very green area. An out of the beaten path place not to be missed.
Palermo - Rose Garden
Time to enter Palermo! The biggest neighborhood of Buenos Aires. A first stop in the area will be at the Rose Garden where we will do a little walk of 20 minutes. Thousands of roses are waiting to fulfill our senses with scents and colors - Note: Please be aware that the Rose Garden is closed on Mondays and during bad weather.
Hippodrome of Palermo
Leaving the Rose Garden behind, we will continue with our way through Palermo taking the Libertador avenue, second widest one of Buenos Aires. In our way we will stop and do a walk at the Hippodrome of Palermo. The horse racing field is gorgeous! A blend of French style building, British tradition and beautiful gardens that will amaze you.
Park lane - River Plate Stadium
Our way will continue through the green area of the Palermo & Belgrano neighborhoo's park lane until we reach the River Plate Stadium. The greatest and best soccer team of Buenos Aires (if you think that I'm a fan of this team, then you are right!). Right there I will tell you some funny stories about the team and monuments that you can find in the area.
Memory Park.
Following the North Park, we will arrive to the River Plate Coastline and the Memory Park (Parque de la Memoria). Here we can appreciate the widest river in the world, the silhouette of the Delta Islands and a park that was created as a memorial of the people that disappeared during the military dictatorship that took place in Argentina from 1976 to 1983. A walk is planned in the area.
Recoleta - Cemetery
From the memorial we will follow the coastline of the river Plate, catching back the neighborhood of Palermo and heading to Recoleta. On our way we will pass right next to the Planeterium, Japanese Gardens (biggest Japanese garden out of Japan), Ecopark and the Island neighborhood (completly out of the beaten track). When arriving to Recoleta cemetery we will make a 30 / 40 minutes walking tour in it. The cemetery is amazing and there we can talk about the Argentinean history (something not to be missed)
Lunch time
Retiro - San Martin Square
After lunch, we will drive through the fancy Alvear Avenue and Arroyo Street, where we can appreciate the classic French style architecture that made Buenos Aires known as the Paris of South America.

A place full of history, football and Tango.
