Travel Essentials
ARGENTINA - Other places of interest
If you still have time, you can visit the elegant and quiet neighbourhood of Belgrano, and Costanera Sur and its ecological reserve.

Off the beaten track
The islands of Paraná River Delta
Tigre is the starting point to visit hundreds of islands forming up the Paraná River Delta at the mouth of Río de la Plata (River Plate), where lots of residences, hostels and sports clubs are located. Tours along the Delta and to Martín García Island - a natural and historical reserve - start from the river port of Tigre.

It is advisable to take the Tren de la Costa (coastline train), which 15-Km-long journey bordering the coast of Río de la Plata takes you through the districts of Vicente López, San Isidro, San Fernando and Tigre, where you will see some historical mansions. Train stations have shopping malls or coffee shops and restaurants. Parque de la Costa, an amusement park located at Delta station, offers different shows and outdoor entertainment. You can also go on catamaran rides along the Delta.
Horseback riding activities at the San Isidro racetracks are also interesting.

Nuestra Señora de Luján (Our Lady of Luján)
Argentina’s patron saint is in the basilica located in the city of Luján, to the West of the City of Buenos Aires. If you go to Luján, you can also visit the Cabildo (Town Hall of colonial times) and the Casa del Virrey (Viceroy's House), seats of Enrique Udaondo Museum Complex: Colonial and Historical Museum, Arms Galleries, Artillery Museum and Transportation Museum which exhibits the Spanish "Plus Ultra" plane, the first plane to travel across the Atlantic. Not far away, you can stay or spend a full day in the Estancia San Ceferino. There are many estancias (ranches) and comfortable cottages in the area which offer lodging and entertainment activities.

Dinosaurs in La Plata
La Plata is the capital of the province of Buenos Aires, and its Natural Science Museum is definitely worth visiting. Its fossils collection - specially those of large prehistoric animals - is one of the most important in the world.
