BUENOS AIRES BEACHES AND ACCOMMODATION | |
Sunday, 08 January 2012 | |
If you look at the map you will see
that Buenos Aires is located at the shore of a small bay in the
Atlantic Ocean. So, naturally you would expect nice beaches all
around Buenos Aires, right? Wrong! What looks like a small bay is
actually a big mouth of the river Rio de La Plata. The waters of the
river are very muddy and absolutely unsuitable for any kind of
swimming. Notice the color of the water. Sorry, no beaches in Buenos Aires!!! The closest beach resort is probably Punta del Este in Uruguay, across the river where Rio de La Plata meets the Atlantic Ocean. The closest beach resort in Argentina is Mar del Plata at the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It takes 4 to 5 hours by bus or train to get there or less than an hour by a plain. I didn't go to any of these two resorts and consequently I cannot offer any comments. BUENOS AIRES ACCOMMODATION Did I mention where to stay in Buenos Aires? Of course you can use hotels, but if you come for a little longer, then this might be an expensive proposition. As an alternative I suggest exchanging your own home for one in Buenos Aires. Follow the link to browse Buenos Aires Home Exchange. The other option is to do what I did, which is renting a furnished apartment. Here is the list of Buenos Aires Vacation Rentals. |

Hi there from sunny Brunswick Heads, Australia
Have had a successful change to Alaska in '09 through your site and have another arranged for Nova Scotia later this year. Plus I am hosting someone from Reunion Island in April - all through your free site. Excellent!
