Argentina
Argentina Shore Excursions – Experience the Passion of Buenos Aires
Explore Argentina on a private shore excursion with Bakadi Dreams – the personal way to experience South America’s most cosmopolitan and culturally rich capital. Buenos Aires, the “Paris of South America”, welcomes cruise passengers with its elegant European-style architecture, world-famous tango culture and an infectious energy that makes every visit truly unforgettable.
Argentina is the second-largest country in South America, stretching from the subtropical north with the magnificent Iguazu Falls to the icy landscapes of Patagonia in the far south. The country’s incredible natural diversity includes the majestic Andes mountains, the endless grasslands of the Pampas and some of the world’s most spectacular glaciers. But it is Buenos Aires, the vibrant capital on the Rio de la Plata, that captures the hearts of most cruise visitors.
Walking through the neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires is like stepping into a living museum of culture and history. The colourful houses of La Boca, where tango was born, contrast beautifully with the grand boulevards and elegant buildings of Recoleta and Palermo. Visit the iconic Plaza de Mayo, the ornate Teatro Colon – one of the world’s finest opera houses – and the bustling San Telmo market, where antiques, street performers and the aroma of freshly grilled steak fill the air.
Argentine cuisine is legendary, and no visit is complete without tasting an authentic asado – the traditional barbecue that is a cornerstone of Argentine social life. Paired with a glass of world-class Malbec wine, it is a culinary experience you will never forget. For dessert, try the dulce de leche – Argentina’s beloved caramel treat that appears in everything from pastries to ice cream.
The warmth and passion of the Argentine people, known as Porteños, add a special dimension to every encounter. Whether you watch a mesmerising tango performance in a traditional milonga, stroll through the elegant parks of Palermo or cruise the delta of the Tigre river, Buenos Aires offers experiences that stay with you long after you have returned to your ship.
Every Bakadi Dreams excursion runs in a small, private group with a friendly English-speaking guide, at a relaxed pace and with a guaranteed return to your cruise ship in good time. Pick-up is conveniently located at the cruise terminal.
