Stop in the center. Continue to the waterfront of La Boca, where you’ll have a short break to stroll down one of the city’s most photographed streets, El Caminito, renowned for its brightly painted buildings and colorful street stalls selling art and handicrafts. Next, head north along the waterfront to glitzy Puerto Madero, a modern district full of business headquarters, glamorous restaurants, and chic bars. Pause to take photos of the unique Puente de la Mujer bridge, then swap the urban streets for the serene cycling trails of the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, a pocket of greenery, renowned for its varied birdlife.
