When you arrive in Buenos Aires, get ready for the awakening of the senses, you will feel and vibrate a cosmopolitan city, from the choice of staying in a hotel or a comfortable fully equipped apartment that will make you feel at home, knowing the Argentine essence, tasting Buenos Aires’ bars and restaurants to the mixture of styles in architecture. Buenos Aires is a city full of contrasts.

Melancholy is breathed in every neighborhood and when walking and touring the city, you will perceive the spirit of tango. We suggest different walks that will take you to the most emblematic places of the city.

And after being amazed by this city, take the time to travel to the south of the country, more exactly to Peninsula Valdez.

Every year in Argentina a great show is enjoyed, which takes place between late May and mid-December. This show is produced by the particular characteristics of the waters in Peninsula Valdes: its tightly closed gulfs generate a calm sea and the beaches with moderate slopes and plain bottoms are ideal for whales with their calves who will be safe from predators or being stranded. Thus, the whales arrive each year and are six months in this area. The amount is still growing, so this year it is estimated that there will be more than two thousand samples around the coast of Chubut for the enjoyment of all tourists who visit the place. The southern right whales were declared by Argentina as a natural monument, a situation that favored the steady increase in numbers. It is estimated a raise of 7 percent annually since the ’70s.

“Puerto Madryn city receives a large number of tourists from all over the world who come to enjoy this unique experience. Peninsula Valdez has the infrastructure to accommodate a significant amount of visitors, besides strengthening air connectivity with Andes Airlines which will soon fly to the city daily.

We suggest the official website of Puerto Madryn. It has useful information of the area, for accommodation you can visit these options.

The History of the Republic of La Boca

The Italian immigrants who left their shores at the end of the XIX century and at the beginning of the XX century in search of a better future, settled in what is called “La Boca del Riachuelo”, literally meaning the mouth of the river. They decided to form a republic in our country.In 1882 a group of Italian immigrants got together in the Italian Society to form an independent country, since the state did not have the right to rule over the Italian population nor La Boca.

After writing an act informing the King of Italy, they declared this territory “The Republic of La Boca” and hoisted the Genovese flag.

The dream of these immigrants was short lived. The Argentine president Julio Roca arrived in La Boca, where he lowered the flag and cut short this revolution.

After all this chaos, one of the streets in the neighborhood was named Roca after the president.
