Visiting Buenos Aires

What happens in Buenos Aires?

Whats Up Buenos Aires is, first, a Web site that connects art and culture from Buenos Aires with the rest of the world. His objective is to harness the power of the Internet to communicate, inform and entertain. In recent years, Buenos Aires has become an epicenter of international tourism and the spirit of exploration, and WUBA has been and will remain one of the leaders of the item.

WUBA was created in 2004 by two American men expatriates with a great passion for this city, many ideas and dreams. Three years later, the dream remains. With 1500-2000 visitors per day, our objectives are becoming reality.

Buenos Aires Ecological Reserve.

After read and comment a note about National Parks and Ecological Reserves, I realized there is no necessary to move away from the Capital for appreciate something of this style.

A few blocks from the smoke, noise and traffic, a natural park of 350 hectares is home to native vegetation, with more than 250 species of birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and 50 varieties of butterflies.

Highs grasslands coexist with ceibos, creoles willows, cattails and reeds, giving rise to animals that live in the interior gaps. Some animal species are otters, cuis, weasel, lizard, different species of snakes and Zarzal frogs.

Previously was a beach but in 1986 was declared Ecological Reserve.

You can take guided tours or guided by maps that are delivered free of charge at the entrance.

There are two panoramic views, the “Circuito de la Laguna de los Patos” and the “Circuito de los Rios,” you can make walking or cycling and takes between two and four hours.

From the trails of the Ecological Reserve, you can enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the city of Buenos Aires and seeing the new buildings and apartments in Puerto Madero.

The Obelisco of Buenos Aires.

If the National Team or some Argentinean Team champion leaves of something, every fan knows where to go to celebrate; around the Obelisco.

Located in the middle of the widest Avenue in the world, 9 de Julio, is the symbol of the Buenos Aires city. This structure, built in 1936 to commemorate the fourth centenary of the first foundation of the city, owns 67.5 meters high.

Of Egyptian origin, retains the classic form of this type of construction. In its four faces can be seen phrases on the foundations of the city, the designation of Buenos Aires as the Federal Capital, the first lifting of the national flag.

Within this structure there is a stair that leads to the top, where it says that there is a saved coffer containing a letter from one of the builders, if someday someone has intended to destroy this symbol of Buenos Aires.
