About this experience
Your 48-hour ticket will allow you to get on and off at the stop you want and explore the city at your own pace.
We propose a tour with an audio guide so you can discover every corner of Buenos Aires: the traditional neighborhoods of La Boca, San Telmo and Puerto Madero, among others.
From stop 6 you can connect with the "Postales de Buenos Aires" navigation, and thus obtain the best views of the city sailing along the Río de la Plata from La Boca to Puerto Madero.
You will enjoy the combination of green spaces such as the Ecological Reserve and also the skyscrapers and different emblematic buildings that the city presents.
The journey is approximately 40 minutes. As we move away from La Boca, we will obtain different panoramic views both to the east and to the west and we will see the combination of architectural styles of the city, with the port activity and the green lungs.
It is an ideal activity to do during or after Hop On Hop Off.
