One Week in Buenos Aires: Caminito

Caminito, though widely recognized as BAs unsafe tourist trap, was actually quite charming. Caminito's Genoan roots, colorful buildings and lively street vendors were a departure from the metropolitan landscape of the rest of the city. We decided to throw caution to the wind and not venture off the tourist district since tourists and portenos alike advised us against sauntering aimlessly. This was not the neighborhood for that! So, after a mini photo shoot and a stop for some Havanna alfajores (though Cachafaz are by far the winners in my book), we hopped in a cab back to Palermo Soho.  

One Week in Buenos Aires: The Recoleta

Western cemeteries always evoke a sort of spooky feeling since they illicit all sorts of cultural superstitions. While daydreaming of what Buenos Aires was like during the days of Evita, we decided to take the obligatory trip to La Recoleta Cemetery where she is buried. It was absolutely beautiful as was the surrounding area.
