Introduction
Embrace a fascinating, lesser-known gem of Argentina with this comprehensive itinerary of San Nicolás de los Arroyos. Over three days, you'll find cultural delights, historical landmarks, natural beauty, and the unending charm of Argentinian hospitality.
Day 1 - Welcome to the Heartland of Argentina
Land at Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport and catch a comfortable coach to San Nicolás, approximately a 3-hour journey. Who said road trips are any less thrilling than air travel? As the Argentine landscape rolls past, let the rustic charm sink in. Once you've checked into your hotel, freshen up and get ready to kickstart your San Nicolás deluge at Plaza Mitre, the city's central square brimming with local culture and iconic landmarks. Don't forget to stop by the majestic Cathedral de San Nicolás, a defining symbol of the city's architectural elegance. The evening calls for a leisure visit to the vibrant Paseo Costanero, a riverside walkway where you can indulge in mouthwatering Argentinian cuisine at a local Parrilla.
Day 2 - Diving Deep Into the Cultural Roots
San Nicolas is more than just its beautiful squares and delicious food. And it's time to explore that! After breakfast, box your swimwear and head out to Los Sauces Beach, a sandy haven nestled along the banks of the Parana River. Who can resist a dip in the clear, invigorating waters, right? Post-lunch, you’ll visit the historic Museo Rufino de Elizalde. It's not just a museum, but a leap of faith into Argentina's rich war history and cultural heritage. Closed out the day with a foot-tapping Milonga session. Aaaah! The passion of passionate Tango under the Argentinian stars... Nothing beats that!
Day 3 - Embrace the Quietude and the Mighty Parana
We know it's your last day and it's going to be bitter-sweet. But let's make it more sweet than bitter, shall we? Post-breakfast, put on your adventure boots and embark on a relaxing tour of Parque Rafael de Aguiar, an expansive oasis offering green trails and scenic vistas. Say yes to a boat ride on The Parana river and feel the quiet majesty of the waterway. Spend the afternoon meandering through the local markets hunting for everything authentically Argentinian. A bottle of Malbec or a pair of alpargatas, perhaps? Lastly, have an alfresco dinner at the Xibalba Resto Arte, a fan-favorite restaurant known for its quirky murals and delicious empanadas. Trust us, it's indeed a savory farewell to your Argentinian sojourn!
