In the direct vicinity lies the endless Pampas & hundred of kilometers of plains with magnificent Estancias, the Argentinean ranches, glistening lakes, thundering glaciers and some of the greatest waterfalls on Earth.

The best way to get around Buenos Aires is to take the bus or Subs to an area and then explore it on foot. The easiest way to negotiate the area and avoid the motorized madness is to take the Subte (subway). Colectivos (local buses) are also useful for traveling within the city limits and many services operate 24 hours a day.
