A little history

Buenos Aires is a coastal city, founded on the banks of the Río de la Plata. In the 19th century, citizens used to enjoy the riverside as there were spas to bathe and refresh.

Years passed and Buenos Aires began to turn its back on the river. Pollution increased and people’s interest dropped. Fortunately, a few years ago, works began to be carried out so that the river can once again be the protagonist and so that citizens can enjoy the great Río de la Plata.

 

Protocol

Faced with the COVID-19 situation, we ask you to take into account the protocols and stay informed. The use of masks is mandatory, as well as social distancing. Let’s take care of each other!
