Pedal through the vibrant streets, tracing a route that leads you to iconic landmarks like the legendary La Bombonera Stadium and the picturesque Caminito. Traverse the Reserva Ecológica, pause at the historic Plaza de Mayo and Plaza San Martín, and culminate your adventure with a profound visit to Argentina's famed Recoleta Cemetery.
Your day of discovery commences with a pedal towards La Bombonera, the legendary football arena that stands as an enduring symbol of passion and devotion. Home to the revered Boca Juniors football club, this hallowed ground holds tales of victories, defeats, and the unbreakable bond between the people and their beloved sport.

Transitioning from the fervor of football, your journey leads you to Caminito, an exuberant burst of color nestled within the heart of La Boca neighborhood. Originally a modest alleyway, Caminito underwent a mesmerizing transformation into an open-air museum, ignited by the soulful rhythms of the famous tango that shares its name. Here, you may even try your hand at Argentine Tango with help from your guide.
As your wheels carry you forward, the landscape unfolds to reveal Reserva Ecológica, an expansive ecological haven that was once a forgotten landfill. Witness the incredible metamorphosis of this site into a thriving sanctuary, teeming with wetlands, marshes, and a myriad of wildlife species. This transformation mirrors the city's commitment to environmental conservation, a testament to its unwavering dedication to preserving the natural world.
Pedaling onwards, the iconic Plaza de Mayo beckons, a historical epicenter steeped in the echoes of Argentina's tumultuous past. Gaze upon the stately Casa Rosada, the presidential palace that witnessed pivotal moments in the nation's narrative. Your guide's illuminating commentary will lead you through the corridors of history, recounting tales of political struggles and resilience, embodied by figures like Eva Perón and the indomitable Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo.
Journeying to Plaza San Martín, you'll find solace amidst the verdant expanse dedicated to Argentina's revered national hero. Traverse this peaceful oasis, where statues, fountains, and architectural splendor pay homage to a military luminary who shaped the course of the nation's quest for independence.
The crescendo of your voyage arrives at the grandeur of Cementerio Recoleta, a poignant tableau that offers insight into the lives and legacies of Argentine luminaries. Amidst the ornate mausoleums, discover the stories of statesmen, artists, and visionaries who etched their mark on history.
