Story Day
Buenos Aires – Recoleta & San Telmo
Day 18 / 3/1/2026
A full day exploring Buenos Aires revealed the city’s rich history and relaxed elegance, from the elaborate mausoleums of Recoleta Cemetery to historic churches and grand European-style architecture. Later in the day, locals gathered in the parks of San Telmo to dance tango beneath the trees, while an evening wander around the redeveloped waterfront of Puerto Madero provided a striking contrast with its modern skyline, restaurants, and reflections along the river.
This is a test
A busy day exploring several very different districts of Buenos Aires. We began at Recoleta Cemetery before visiting a nearby museum. After a short walk, we caught a taxi to San Telmo, where we spent some time wandering through its historic streets. We then returned to the hotel for a well-earned rest before heading out again in the evening to Puerto Madero for dinner and a stroll around the harbour.
