Itinerary for Buenos Aires
Last time I was in Buenos Aires I made this itinerary, so I thought some fellow travelers may like it.
It begins with lunch at the Cafe Tortoni, a super historical place, founded around 1850 I believe. It has a great atmosphere and you really feel like you're in colonial B.A.
Then you can walk to Arkadia, a shop near Congreso (Parliament) which is the only tea and perfume atelier in the city. There I found some perfumes made from native herbs that are great ... and if you continue to travel across the country you'll recognize those aromas everywhere.
To get to the next place I recommend you take the subway (A train). It still conserves wagons from 1890, with wooded interiors, roof lamps, mirror details and even manual doors… really picturesque. The last stop is a café called Las Violetas, which is ideal for five o’clock tea (and famous because of it) .. Tip of advice: take a chance and try one of their special blends, and also pay attention to the beautiful stained-glass windows.
I really hope you try this and like it as much as I did.

Peace and quiet in NW Bs.As
Bella Vista is a little town located in Buenos Aires' suburbs approximately 20 miles away from the district capitol. It lies inbetween Muñiz, San Miguel, José C.Paz, Martín Fierro and William Morris and after it Hurlingham. It has many quintas (countryhouses) and retreats, and is regarded favorably for its various green spaces, creeks and the variety of trees available in the area. Fully commendable to be visited.
