The Best Day Trips from Buenos Aires

Are you planning a trip to Buenos Aires? Why not add a day trip to your itinerary and explore a different side of Argentina!

Buenos Aires offers endless discoveries and things to do, from the vibrant streets of La Boca and the historic square Plaza de Mayo with its iconic Casa Rosada, to the city’s many hidden gems.

However, Argentina’s massive capital city can also become overwhelming with its busy streets, noisy cars, and loud buses.

A great way to get a break from the busy and noisy city life in Buenos Aires is to add a day trip from Buenos Aires to your Argentina itinerary!

There are several different day trips from Buenos Aires, depending on what you enjoy and want to experience more of. From historic colonial towns and lush river deltas to authentic countryside towns and ranches.

Taking a day trip from Buenos Aires also offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into Argentina’s diverse ways of life beyond the capital city.

While Buenos Aires is a fascinating city, it doesn’t fully capture the essence of Argentina’s varied culture and traditions. With a short trip outside Buenos Aires, you can discover a different side of life in Argentina.

After living in Buenos Aires for seven years and traveling around Argentina, I have explored many of the day trips from Buenos Aires.

And in this post, I want to share the best day trips from Buenos Aires with you!

Each of these day trips from Buenos Aires offers something different, and best of all, most of them can easily be reached by train or bus from Buenos Aires.

So, let’s get under the skin of exploring the best day trips from Buenos Aires

Travel Guide to the Best Day Trips From Buenos Aires

Most day trips from Buenos Aires are only a short train ride away, and you simply need to have the Buenos Aires transportation card, the SUBE card, ready. Recently, it has also become possible to pay your ticket with a debit or credit card for Buenos Aires public transportation.

However, you can also do short international trips from Buenos Aires to Uruguay and visit, for example, Colonia del Sacramento or Montevideo. For trips to Uruguay, always check the visa requirements ahead of time.

It is also a good idea to book your ferry tickets online in advance, especially during peak season, as prices can rise and seats can sell out.

Many of the day trips from Buenos Aires can be done on your own, but if you’re short on time or don’t want to spend hours in public transportation, a guided day trip from Buenos Aires might be your best option.

A small group tour can be great for an estancia in San Antonio de Areco or Gamboa Winery, where local transportation isn’t too reliable. A guided tour can also help you better understand and learn about Argentine culture and traditions.

The Best Day Trips From Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires offers plenty of interesting things to do, but there are also many fascinating places to visit near Buenos Aires!

Let’s explore my 13 favorite easy day trips you can take from Buenos Aires!

Tigre Delta

The Tigre Delta is one of the most popular day trips from Buenos Aires for locals and tourists alike, and also by far one of my favorite day trips from Buenos Aires!

Tigre is a small town located around 17 miles (28 km) north of Buenos Aires City, just around an hour by train!

The town is located by the entrance to the Paraná Delta, a massive wetland and delta area located between Argentina and Uruguay.

The Paraná Delta, also more commonly referred to as the Tigre Delta, is a labyrinth of waterways, lush islands, and stilt houses that can only be accessed by boat.

The best way to experience it is from the water, and one of the most popular things to do in Tigre is to do a boat tour around the Tigre Delta.

By the Tigre River Terminal, Terminal Fluvial de Tigre in Spanish, several different tour operators offer boat tours on the Tigre Delta. You can also book your Tigre boat trip in advance on GetYourGuide or Viator.

The boat tour around the delta reveals a slower, more tranquil way of life compared to Buenos Aires. You’ll glide past rowing clubs, weekend homes, and some of Tigre’s local museums, such as the Casa Sarmiento Museum and the Tigre Art Museum, Museo de Arte Tigre.

A more economical way to explore the Tigre Delta is to take the local lancha colectiva, or water bus, and get off at some of the stops along its route to explore different islands.

On shore, the town of Tigre also offers several interesting things to do. Head to the large outdoor market, Puerto de Frutos, perfect for shopping for souvenirs. It is also worth exploring Tigre’s small Art District, Boulevard Saenz Peña, with local street art and cute restaurants and cafes.

The Tigre Delta is a popular place for porteños to buy or rent small cabins or holiday houses to spend a weekend away from Buenos Aires. Along the shore of the Tigre Delta, you’ll find everything from impressive mansions to smaller cabins.

A day trip to the Tigre Delta is a great way to disconnect and enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere compared to Buenos Aires. If you enjoy time by the water, you should definitely consider a Tigre day trip from Buenos Aires!

How to Get to the Tigre Delta from Buenos Aires

To get from Buenos Aires to Tigre, take the regional Mitre train line from Buenos Aires.

The train ride from Buenos Aires to Tigre takes around one hour.

You can pay for your ticket to Tigre either with your SUBE transportation card or with a credit/debit card.

The end station of the Mitre train line is Tigre, so it’s easy to know if you’re on the right train.

The Mitre train line stops at the Retiro station in central Buenos Aires, the Lisandro de la Torre station in Palermo, or the Belgrano C station in the Belgrano neighborhood.

Colonia del Sacramento

Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay is only a short ferry ride across the Rio de la Plata, and one of the best day trips from Buenos Aires!

The ferry ride from Buenos Aires transports you not only to another country but also back in time! Colonia del Sacramento is a perfectly preserved 17th-century town and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The historic quarter of Colonial del Sacramento features cobblestone streets, Portuguese colonial buildings, and charming plazas.

The highlights of the historic quarter in Colonia del Sacramento are the historic city gate, known as Portón de Campo, and the famously picturesque Calle de los Suspiros, or the Street of Sighs.

Another highlight you shouldn’t miss in Colonia del Sacramento is the town’s iconic lighthouse, Faro de Colonia del Sacramento, with beautiful panoramic views over the old town and the Rio de la Plata.

You can easily explore Colonia del Sacramento on foot, but if you want to learn more about the town’s history, I recommend signing up for a guided walking tour of Colonia del Sacramento.

Personally, Colonia del Sacramento felt a bit like walking around a big outdoor museum. The historic quarter is cute but very touristy with plenty of souvenir shops and cafes mostly for tourists.

Colonia del Sacramento is one of the best day trips from Buenos Aires if you want to experience a beautiful colonial city setting.

How to Get to Colonia del Sacramento from Buenos Aires

To get to Colonia del Sacramento from Buenos Aires, you need to take the ferry from the ferry terminal in Buenos Aires near the Puerto Madero neighborhood.

The ferry ride between Buenos Aires and Colonia del Sacramento takes around one hour and 40 minutes to two hours.

The ferry company, Colonia Express, offers daily round-trips between Buenos Aires and Colonia del Sacramento.

You can buy the ferry ticket online at Colonia Express’ website or via Busbud.

Since Colonia del Sacramento is in Uruguay, remember to bring your passport and pass immigration before boarding the ferry in Buenos Aires.

La Plata

La Plata is an easy day trip from Buenos Aires with architectural gems and an impressive Natural History Museum.

While La Plata is the 4th largest city in Argentina and the capital of the Buenos Aires Province, the city is often overlooked by international travelers.

In the center of the city, you’ll find the highlight of La Plata, an impressive neo-Gothic Cathedral. The Cathedral of La Plata is the largest in Argentina, and one of the largest cathedrals in the Americas.

The entrance to the cathedral is free of charge, and for a small fee, you can take the elevator up one of the towers to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view over the city.

La Plata also features the only house built by the famous architect Le Corbusier in South America, Casa Curutchet. Casa Curutchet in La Plata is part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing for Le Corbusier’s works around the world.

The Natural History Museum in La Plata, Museo de La Plata, is also well worth a visit. The Natural History Museum is housed in a magnificent neoclassical building and features a large selection of fossils.

La Plata was founded in 1882 and designed from scratch as a perfectly planned city with a grid of diagonal avenues and numbered streets. The city’s unique layout and stunning public buildings offer a contrast to the somewhat more chaotic (or organic?) development of Buenos Aires.

However, a lot of the architecture in La Plata reminded me quite a lot of Buenos Aires, and La Plata felt a bit like wandering around a miniature Buenos Aires.

La Plata is a great, lesser-known day trip from Buenos Aires, offering a deep dive into Argentina’s golden age in the 1880s and the thoughts around urban planning at the time.

How to Get to La Plata From Buenos Aires

You can easily get to La Plata from Buenos Aires with the local regional train line, Roca, from Constitución train station.

La Plata is the last stop on the Roca train line, so you just have to look for the train going to La Plata.

The train ride from Buenos Aires to La Plata takes around one hour.

You can use your SUBE transportation card or pay for your train ticket with your credit/debit card at the station.

Book a Guided Tour in La Plata

The Mataderos Sunday Market

The Mataderos Market is a great way to experience an authentic local Argentine guacho culture without even having to leave the city!

The Mataderos Markets, also known as Feria de Mataderos in Spanish, is a local Sunday market in the Mataderos neighborhood on the outskirts of Buenos Aires City.

Mataderos translates to “slaughterhouses” since the area historically was where livestock was brought into the city from the surrounding countryside.

The Mataderos Market is a world away from the tourist-centric markets of San Telmo and Recoleta. At the Mataderos Market, you’ll find stalls selling traditional crafts, leather goods, and regional foods. Explore the difference between these two iconic markets with this popular guided tour of both San Telmo and Mataderos Market.

At midday, there is live folk music and locals dance traditional chacareras, creating a lively atmosphere that offers a genuine glimpse into the heart of Argentine traditions.

The Matadero Market takes place every Sunday from April through December. In case of bad weather conditions, the market might be cancelled.

The Mataderos Market is the perfect day trip to experience traditional Argentine crafts, food, and folkloric without getting too far away from Buenos Aires.

How to Get to the Mataderos Market From Buenos Aires

You can get to the Mataderos Market from Buenos Aires’ city center by public bus, taxi, or Uber/Cabify.

The easiest way to get to the Mataderos Market from Buenos Aires’ city center is with a taxi or an Uber.

The drive from the city center or Palermo neighborhood is around 30 minutes to 45 minutes, depending on where you’re going from.

Alternatively, you can take the public bus from Buenos Aires’ city center to the Mataderos Market. With public transportation, it takes around one hour to get to the Mataderos, and you can use the SUBE transportation card to pay for the ticket.

Here are a few options for how to get to the Mataderos Market:

– Bus 126: From Plaza de Mayo, take bus 126 to the Mataderos neighborhood. The bus ride takes around one hour.

– Subte A + bus: From Plaza de Mayo, take the Subway’s A-line to Puan or San Pedrito metro stations and change to bus 180 or 55, respectively. The combined metro and bus ride takes around one hour.

– Bus 92: From Palermo, take bus 92 to the Mataderos Market. The bus ride takes around one hour.

Before heading out, it’s a good idea to check in Google Maps or Moovit, which combination of public transportation is the best to get to the Mataderos Market.

San Isidro

San Isidro is one of the best day trips from Buenos Aires if you want a more off-the-beaten-path experience.

San Isidro is an elegant and historic suburb located on the coast of the Rio de la Plata between Buenos Aires and Tigre.

San Isidro dates back to 1784, and the town’s historic quarter features cobblestone streets, grand 19th-century mansions, and lush green parks and patios.

The heart of the town is Plaza Mitre, featuring the impressive neo-Gothic San Isidro Cathedral.

Another highlight of San Isidro is a visit to the Villa Ocampo, a beautiful mansion once home to the influential Argentine writer, Victoria Ocampo.

In 1973, Ocampo decided to donate the mansion Villa Ocampo to UNESCO, and today Villa Ocampo functions both as a museum and a UNESCO Observatory.

San Isidro also features the Pueyrredón Museum, a museum for Argentina’s prominent political Pueyrredon, housed in what used to be his traditional Argentine estancia (ranch).

The waterfront offers beautiful views of the Rio de la Plata and is a popular spot for locals. The area is perfect for a relaxed day of strolling and enjoying a picnic overlooking the river.

San Isidro is a great day trip from Buenos Aires if you like to explore hidden gems away from the touristy path while enjoying the beautiful setting of a historic town.

How to Get to San Isidro From Buenos Aires

You can reach San Isidro via the Mitre train line from Buenos Aires in the direction of Tigre.

The train ride from Buenos Aires to San Isidro takes around 45 minutes.
You can pay for your ticket to San Isidro with your SUBE transportation card or with a credit/debit card.

The Mitre train line stops at the Retiro station in central Buenos Aires, the Lisandro de la Torre station in Palermo, or the Belgrano C station in the Belgrano neighborhood.

San Antonio de Areco

San Antonio de Areco is one of the best day trips from Buenos Aires to experience Argentina’s gaucho culture and traditions.

San Antonio de Areco is one of the oldest towns in the Buenos Aires Province, dating back to 1730, and is recognized as the heart of gaucho tradition.

Guachos are Argentina’s answer to American cowboys; horsemen who traditionally lived in the countryside.

The novel Don Segundo Sombra by Argentine author Ricardo Güiraldes tells the story of a gaucho’s life in San Antonio de Areco.

The novel contributed to integrating the gaucho culture into Argentine popular culture and put San Antonio de Areco on the map as a traditional gaucho town. All over the town, you can find references to the novel in street names and shop names.

The town itself is small with cobblestoned streets, a tranquil central plaza, several artisan workshops specializing in silver and leather, and historic old-style taverns, also called pulperías.

One of the oldest bars in San Antonio de Areco, Viejo Boliche Bessonart, is perfect for a break and a drink.

When in San Antonio de Areco, you should not miss stopping by to buy chocolate from La Olla de Cobre, a local chocolate shop.

San Antonio de Areco is a great day trip from Buenos Aires, if you want to learn more about Argentina’s gauchos and life in the Argentine countryside.

How to Get to San Antonio de Areco From Buenos Aires

To get to San Antonio de Areco from Buenos Aires, you can take a local long-distance bus from Buenos Aires’ Retiro bus station.

The bus ride from Buenos Aires to San Antonio de Areco takes around 2 hours, and there are only a few departures daily.

You can purchase the bus ticket and check the bus schedule on BusBud.

In my opinion, it is a little ambitious to do San Antonio de Areco as a day trip from Buenos Aires by bus.

I recommend either signing up for a guided day trip from Buenos Aires or renting a car to drive there yourself.

Visit a Local Estancia

One of the most popular and charming day trips from Buenos Aires is to visit a traditional ranch, or estancia, in the Argentine countryside.

Surrounding Buenos Aires City, many local estancias offer day packages, also called Dia de Campo, or translated “Country Day”.

During a Dia de Campo, you can try a traditional Argentine asado (barbecue), horseback riding, and see folk music and dance performances.

Many of the estancias offering dia de campo are located around San Antonio de Areco, including renowned Estancia el Ombú de Areco.

However, there are also escancias in other parts of the countryside of the Buenos Aires Province.

A day trip to an estancia offers a relaxed getaway that blends culture and nature, and it’s a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the rural lifestyle that is so central to the Argentine national identity.

Bodega Gamboa Vineyards

Bodega Gamboa Vineyards is a unique day trip from Buenos Aires for anybody who loves vineyard visits and wine tastings.

While Mendoza is Argentina’s most famous wine region, Bodega Gamboa Vineyards is located in Campana, just over an hour from Buenos Aires City.

Bodega Gamboa Vineyards is a modern winery that cultivates varietals like Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc to thrive in the unique terroir of the Buenos Aires province.

Bodega Gamboa Vineyards offers a guided tour of the vineyards and production facilities, learn about the winemaking process, and finishing with a tasting of their excellent wines, often paired with a lunch menu.

Gamboa’s wine production remains limited. During my visit, Gamboa’s proprietary wine was already sold out. Nevertheless, the owners have established partnerships with vineyards across Argentina, ensuring a supply of unique wine for guests to enjoy with their meals.

A day trip to Bodega Gamboa is a relaxing escape for food and wine lovers, providing a taste of Argentina’s enological prowess close to the capital.

How to Get to the Bodega Gamboa Vineyards from Buenos Aires

To get to Gamboa Bodega from Buenos Aires City with public transportation is quite difficult and time-consuming.

The easiest way to get to Gamboa is by car, either renting a car yourself or signing up for a tour including transportation.

If you rent a car to go to Gamboa Bodega, remember to drive safely! Drinking and driving is also illegal (and dangerous) in Argentina!

Book your visit to Bodega Gamboa Vineyards

Montevideo

For the ambitious day-tripper, Uruguay’s capital city, Montevideo, is within reach.

While it’s a longer day than a trip to Colonia, a high-speed ferry can get you there in just over two hours.

Montevideo offers a different vibe than Buenos Aires, with a more laid-back atmosphere with a rich history, and culture of its own.

Spend your day exploring the Old Town, Ciudad Vieja, walking along the coastal promenade, and visiting the bustling Mercado del Puerto for a spectacular parrilla lunch.

While a single day only scratches the surface, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the distinct character of Uruguay.

How to Get to Montevideo From Buenos Aires

To get to Montevideo on a day trip from Buenos Aires, you should consider taking the high-speed ferry from Buquebus.

The Buquebus high-speed ferry takes only a little over two hours, while other ferries to Montevideo from Buenos Aires take four hours.

You can buy the ferry ticket online on Buquebus’ website or via Busbud.

The ferry to Montevideo leaves from the ferry terminal in Buenos Aires near the Puerto Madero neighborhood.

Remember to bring your passport as you need to pass immigration before boarding the ferry to Uruguay.

Luján

The historic town of Luján is another classic day trip from Buenos Aires and a must-visit if you’re interested in Argentina’s cultural and religious heritage.

Luján is located about 42 miles (68 km) west of Buenos Aires, and is most famous for its impressive neo-Gothic church, the Basilica of Our Lady of Luján.

The Luján basilica is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Argentina, and each year millions of visitors come to pay their respects to the Virgin of Luján, Argentina’s patron saint.

Even if you’re not religious, the basilica is stunning and worth visiting for its architecture and local atmosphere.

Beyond the basilica, Luján also has a charming historic center with cobbled streets, small shops, and local restaurants where you can try traditional Argentine dishes. For those interested in history, the Enrique Udaondo Museum Complex offers a fascinating look at Argentina’s colonial past, featuring old carriages to artifacts from independence times.

A visit to Luján can easily be combined with a stop in Carlos Keen, a tiny historical town known for its great parrillas (steakhouses).

A day trip to Luján is a great way to step back in time, admire one of Argentina’s most beautiful churches, and soak up the unique cultural atmosphere outside the capital.

How to Get to Luján From Buenos Aires

Getting to Luján from Buenos Aires with public transportation can be a bit tricky.

First, you need to get to the bus terminal Plaza Miserere (Once) or Liniers. From either bus terminal, you can take a direct bus to Luján.

The bus ride takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic. Buses run frequently throughout the day.

The easiest way to get to Luján from Buenos Aires is by renting a car and driving there. Drive along the Acceso Oeste highway, and you will be in Luján in just over an hour.

Lastly, you can also sign up for a guided tour to Luján, including transportation from Buenos Aires.

Book a Guided Tour to Luján

Campanópolis

Campanópolis is one of the most unusual and fascinating day trips from Buenos Aires that feels like stepping into a fairy tale.

Campanópolis is a whimsical village located just outside Buenos Aires City in González Catán.

The village was the life’s work of Antonio Campana, a visionary Argentine who spent years creating his dream village. Using mostly recycled and reclaimed materials, he built an eclectic collection of medieval-style houses, cobblestone streets, wooden bridges, towers, and small plazas. Every corner of Campanópolis has its own quirky details, blending elements of fantasy, history, and imagination.

As you wander through its labyrinth-like pathways, you’ll discover unique buildings, each with its own distinct personality, along with museums filled with antiques and curiosities collected by Campana.

The entire site is designed to spark creativity and curiosity, and feels like a part open-air museum, part art installation, and part fairytale village.

Visiting Campanópolis is a completely different experience from Buenos Aires’ usual cultural or historical attractions.

How to Get to Campanópolis From Buenos Aires

The easiest way to get to Campanópolis from Buenos Aires is by car, either renting a car or taking a taxi or an Uber/Cabify.

Campanópolis is located in González Catán, about 20 miles (32 km) southwest of downtown Buenos Aires. It takes around an hour from Buenos Aires, depending on traffic.

Visits to Campanópolis must be booked in advance, so it’s best to plan your transportation and tickets ahead of time or sign up for a guided day trip to Campanópolis from Buenos Aires.

Explore Campanópolis

La Costanera Norte Waterfront

The Costanera Norte is a great option for an easy and alternative day trip from Buenos Aires without even leaving the city. Simply rent a bike and explore this lesser-known area of Buenos Aires!

La Costanera Norte, officially called Avenida Costanera Rafael Obligado, is a waterfront road stretching along the banks of the Río de la Plata, offering a mix of local culture and quirky attractions.

La Costanera Norte is a favorite spot among locals, and especially on weekends, you will find people going for a run or a walk along the riverside.
Along the waterfront and right in front of the Airport, Aeroparque Jorge Newberry, you will spot a huge British-style building on a long pier.

The building is a historic fishing club, called Club de Pescadores, which has become one of Buenos Aires’ most iconic riverfront landmarks.

A little further on, you can visit Tierra Santa, the world’s first religious theme park. Tierra Santa is quirky, unusual, and definitely one of Buenos Aires’ most lesser-known attractions.

One of the most significant sites along the Costanera Norte is the Parque de la Memoria, or translated as the Memory Park. This vast public park and memorial site was created to commemorate the victims of Argentina’s last military dictatorship.

Throughout the park, you will find different sculptures and artworks referring to this dark chapter in Argentina’s history of state terrorism, also commonly referred to as the Dirty War.

At the center of the park is a long wall engraved with the names of the victims, serving as a reminder of these dark times in Argentina’s history.

The Memory Park is a powerful yet peaceful space to reflect on the country’s past while enjoying the views of the Río de la Plata.

In the northernmost part of the Costanera Norte, you can visit one of Buenos Aires’ largest parks, Parque de los Niños, with a great view over the Rio de la Plata.

In the summer (January and February), parts of Parque de los Niños transform into Buenos Aires Urban Beach, Buenos Aires Playa, a free urban beach area offering lounge chairs, sports courts, and water activities right by the river, making it a popular escape from the city heat for porteños.

No visit to Buenos Aires’ Costanera Norte would be complete without stopping for a choripán, a classic Argentine chorizo sandwich, from one of the many food stalls lined up along the road. Alternatively, you can sit down at a riverside café or parrilla and enjoy a meal with a view.

How to Get to La Costanera Norte From Buenos Aires

The easiest way to visit La Costanera Norte is by renting a bike near your accommodation and bike there.

Alternatively, you can take a public bus from Buenos Aires city center. From Plaza de Mayo, you can also hop on bus 8 or bus 33 towards Costanera Norte.

I recommend getting off at the Club de Pescadores (link to Google Maps location) and walking north towards the Memory Park.

You can also grab a taxi or an Uber/Cabify to the Costanera Norte. The ride takes around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on where you are going from and the traffic in Buenos Aires.

Again, I recommend getting dropped off by Club de Pescadores (link to Google Maps) and continuing on foot along the Costanera Norte itself towards the Memory Park.
