People who go to this area can walk without have worry about dodging or getting run over by cars. Sometimes there are street performers playing music or putting on shows, and many stop to take pictures and enjoy themselves. There are many locals who show up in groups near some restaurants with large windows to practice their dance moves, hoping to better their dances and performances. A notable landmark in this area is the Puente de la Mujer, Spanish for the “Women’s Bridge.” This is a footbridge connecting the two sides of the port that was built during 1998, right before Argentina’s economic collapse. This is one of the largest rotating pedestrian bridges in the world and allows for the safe passage of ships of various types. Many people stop to take pictures of the beautiful spectacle while others take pictures on it. Regardless, this area is great for those who love to take pictures, eat local cuisine, or see street performances. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Often, people are posing next to the street art in order to have their own unique photo shoot. The graffiti in this location does not symbolize violence in the area nor the prominence of gangs but, instead, symbolizes the freedom of speech that was once not available to the citizens of Argentina. Many restaurants, building owners, and even the government employs artists to display their art on certain buildings as to make their streets look more inviting and unique. In these areas, it almost feels unnatural to see no graffiti down a street or alleyway; however, it will not be long until that area is covered with a local artist’s work. The art is constantly changing throughout the city, but bigger murals are respected by all artists until that specific artist chooses to change it. The restaurant and bars around this location are great for a night out with friends, possible date night, or just having fun walking around. Visitors are sure to enjoy themselves in this stunning city. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Through this tour, the participants see various houses through the Delta Tigre and some buildings in the northern zone of Buenos Aires. An interesting prospect of this experience is that every house along this area has a boat and a dock. The reason for this oddity is that the only mode of transportation for these people are boats. If one were to look at a map of the locations of these houses, they will realize that there are no streets anywhere close to them; therefore, the only effective mode of transportation for these residents are boats. The architecture and landscaping of these houses are interesting as well as beautiful. There are many places along this tour that can be rented or further explored, some not all; however, most of these places are not cheap to rent due to their unique nature. Many tourists opt to visit for a weekend or just a day. Either way, the boat tour of the Delta Tigre show be experienced at least once upon visitation. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/985/Delta_del_Tigre_1.jpg d73636db80742600521dc72594a6a1c2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This triangularly shaped garden sits between Santa Fe Avenue, Las Heras Avenue, and República Árabe Siria Street. Upon entering, it feels like everyone has been transported outside the city into a magnificently, well-groomed forest. The only indication that the garden is still located in the city is the occasional sound of traffic. This gorgeous landscape has beauty around every corner, nook, and cranny. Adding to the atmosphere of the elegant vegetation are jaw-dropping sculptures, monuments, and greenhouses. This botanical garden is perfect for walking around with friends and loved ones, a breath of fresh air when they city feels overwhelming, a perfect place for taking pictures, or as a muse for an artist or painter. If one part of the garden does not please the viewer, there are three other types of gardens to go to: Roman garden, French garden, Oriental garden, and Argentinean Indigenous Americas garden. This rare spectacle was declared as a national monument in 1996, so there is luckily no worry of people destroying its artistry anytime soon. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/986/Buenos_Aires_Entrada_al_Jardin_Botanico_Carlos_Thays.jpg def767e35acc3d92caf1d616051c93cb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This memorable museum is run by Fundación MALBA, a nonprofit organization whose president, Eduardo Costantini, established the museum on September 20, 2001. The design of the building was created through a contest where 450 proposals were submitted for review. The candidates of the proposals were from 45 different countries; however, first place was awarded to three young architects from Argentina. The goal for the museum is to research, collect, promote, and preserve Latin American art from the start of the twentieth century to the present. The artwork held in this museum is focused around the Costantini Collection and continues to add works from modern, Latin American, artists. Moreover, the museum hosts art and film exhibitions as well as cultural activities. The museum educates the public on a variety of Latin American artists and their unique art styles. Receiving over a million visitors annually, the MALBA Museum is loved by art enthusiasts across the globe. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The bars provide opportunity for an energetic nightlife while the museums and plazas make a great place to bring children for the day. The entire neighborhood is a great way to experience what Buenos Aires has to offer. If you can make it there on a weekend, you’ll find fairs and markets with local crafts and products. Apart from unique and exotic products, it also provides a chance to talk with some very interesting people. Specifically, the one in plaza Francia was magnificent. My favorite spot in Recolecta is a shopping mall that my friends and I found while wandering the avenue Santa Fe. The mall has a skatepark aesthetic, and is decorated with stickers, spray paint, and posters. The mall has shops full of alternative clothing, graphic shirts, and musical memorabilia. It even has two tattoo and piercing shops! No matter what you’re looking for, you can find it in Recoleta. Natural Argentine beauty, interesting people, exciting shops, and restaurants and bars filled with new experiences waiting to be had. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Some of the best of this can be seen in the Palermo district. Palermo is the largest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, and also serves as a center of creativity and local culture. The talent on display here has drawn eyes from all over the world, with Huffington Post listing Buenos Aires as one of the top cities to see urban art. Since the neighborhood is one of the primary destinations for both locals and tourists, Palermo needed to look as vibrant and eye-catching as the cultural gems found within, and to achieve this, Buenos Aires chose to use street art. Owners of stores, bars, and restaurants hired artists to pull interest towards their businesses. Even some homeowners turned their house into a canvas. Along with these personal requests, the government paid for commissions on publicly owned spots as well, like the fully decked out Palermo subway station. All over the neighborhood, you can see murals, tags, plasters, and many other types of street art, so throughout your travels, it’s definitely worth it to keep an eye open when around Palermo, as you never know what unexpected things you might find. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/987/StreetArtGarrettReid.2.mp4 027daf70030a6f36b15deda6959fedc3 http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/987/StreetArtBuenosAires.jpg ad6ec43a190a08e1c959a4ecb67e0008 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Originally designed to be a tango theatre in 1919, the building is remarkable for its painted ceilings, sculpted columns, and embellished architecture. During the building’s time as a theater, it was known as the Teatro Gran Splendid and hosted some of the most prominent names in Tango history, like Carlos Gardel and Robert Firpo. The theatre would come to serve as a tango recording studio as well, before being converted into a film cinema in the twenties. The first movies with sound shown in all of Argentina were shown in the Gran Splendid in 1929. Over 70 years later, Grupo Ilhsa, owner of Yenny libraries, the Ateneo chain, and more, leased the building in 2000. The building was once again converted to fit a new purpose- this time becoming the flagship store of the chain. Under architectural supervision, the cinematic seating was replaced with shelving and reading nooks, and a modern café was built on the stage. While modern features have been added, the original style and beauty remain, leading to a one-of-the-kind shopping experience. Whether you’re interested in looking through the thousands of books the store stocks, sipping a cappuccino at the café, or simply walking through the historical building, the Ateneo Grand Splendid is a top-pick when touring Buenos Aires. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A true ranch, the Don Silvano showcases standard animals like horses, pigs, and sheep, while also displaying more exotic animals like peacocks, flamingo, parrots, and more! Guests can also expect shows of Gaucho skill, horseback riding, a ropes course and zipline, and a show of folk music and dance. To display their horseback riding proficiencies, the ranch’s gauchos race, demonstrate traditional hunting methods, and compete in a historical horseback test of skill previously used to prove a rider’s eligibility as a suitor. This event is an unforgettable showing of style, fun, and flair. Guests, inspired by the riders’ skill or otherwise interested, can try their hand at horseback riding on some of the ranch’s beautiful horses. Although not as high-speed as the ride of the guachos, the horses take a path that offers new and fantastic views of the Estancia Don Silvano. Thrill-seeking guests can have their fun on the the ropescourse, which offers guests a bird’s eye view, as well as the opportunity to zipline back down to the ground below. Then at lunchtime is the traditional folk-music show, including beautifully performed songs and dances.

Originally the site of past Argentina president Juan Manuel de Rosas’ country home, the garden has been a public landmark since his defeat in battle on February 3rd, 1852. The significance of this date was cemented into the park through its name, Parc 3 de Febrero. Created in 1912, the garden was designed by Charles (Carlos) Thays and his student Benito Carrasco. Their design features an amphitheater, an Andalusian terrace, and a special garden dedicated to legendary writers and poets, including stone busts of 26 great literary figures. The primary attraction, however, is the collection of over 18,000 roses covering acres of land. With over 1,000 different species of roses on display, the garden is truly a sight to behold. If those features weren’t enough, bordering the floral canvas that is the Rosedal, is a beautiful lake that surrounds the majority of the garden, making the view from the outside as magical as the ones found within. While the garden is a paradise at any time of the year, visiting in July might earn you free flowers and cuttings, as the garden is pruned during this month. The garden is an oasis of green in the bustling Palermo neighborhood, and is a must-see attraction for all. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
