Why go
Begin among the trees and monuments of Plaza San Martín, then descend toward Puerto Madero for dock architecture and open water. Continue to San Telmo for older streets and a market break before taking direct transport to Caminito and La Bombonera. The route reveals several versions of port-city Buenos Aires, but the distances are ambitious. Make Costanera Norte and the Club de Pescadores optional, since they sit well north of the main progression.
Useful to know
- Use direct transport between San Telmo and La Boca, and finish the La Boca section during active daytime hours.
