Tunnels of Buenos Aires.

Every time that it decides to dig a well for the construction of new buildings, emerges traces from the past.

It is said that the ancient Jesuits had designed a system of tunnels to link the main points of the city, from the Cathedral, the Cabildo and the Fort till the shores of the Rio de la Plata, the focus is centered in the called “Manzana de las Luces”.

After that the Jesuits were withdrawn, the tunnels start to be used by the Creoles, in view of the invasion of the English Army. After the defeat to international troops, the tunnels were abandoned.

It is said that too much time were used by smugglers to hide merchandise. Official versions claim that after the twentieth century were rediscovered, where they found traces of the era of the Jesuits.

Below the “Manzana de las Luces”, is divided into two levels of 3 and 6 meters deep, where it can find foundations of old buildings and the entrance to the tunnels, that they can not visit but yes look behind some bars.

Environmental cleanup campaign in Buenos Aires.

With the intention that the citizens of Buenos Aires and those who decide to visit Buenos Aires, help to keep the city cleaner and more hygienic, the city government launched a campaign called “Clean Play”.

The main objective is that everyone become aware of environmental evil that runs in the city, and that we can improve our behavior towards this reality or make a cultural change.

Personally, anguish me to see people throwing paper or waste in the streets. Doesn’t matter them absolutely nothing, and I’m sure in their homes do not.

The best you can do if you want help with this great proposal, is enter in the official site to register; there you will find more information and can start to help!

Argentina North to South.

Part II

After all this northern tour, mark our course towards the south or to the “Patagonia“, stick to the mountain, we will arrive to the city of San Carlos de Bariloche. Between this city and Salta we have more than 2400 kilometers where there are several cities and provinces to visit with very nice places like in San Juan the “Valley of the Moon”, “Las Leñas” in Mendoza, and so on. But here I am trying to mark the places that we believe it can not be miss.

In Bariloche, we have to visit several hills, including the “Cathedral”, the “Otto”, the “Tronador” volcano and appreciate the lakes as the “Nahuel Huapi.” We can also go to Villa la Angostura or until “El Bolson”, two towns located at approx. 100 km with an incredibly beautiful mountain range surrounded by mountains, forests and lakes. You can not leave without having tried the handmade chocolates.

Then head towards one of our last largest city to visity in Argentina. Calafate located in the province of Santa Cruz approximately 2000 kilometers south of Bariloche and from here you can visit the famous “Perito Moreno” glacier. They say you can not you go to Calafate without having tested the “Patagonian lamb” and the sweet fruit mermelade.

To conclude our Argentinean tour we will go the city of Ushuaia, the most southern of the world, is also called “the end of the world” or “the beginning of everything” a beautiful city that combines mountains, sea, forest and glacier. Here you can try the spider crab, see the old wooden houses, navigate the Beagle Canal, or visit the old Presidio.

In this site www.argentinaturistica.com you can find more about the history and background of each city or tourist area. For those who have time to make a trip or who are thinking of doing so, I recommend doing it through ground transportation in order to better appreciate the scenery and also because certainly it is less expensive.
