There are many ways to move around Buenos Aires. The cliché indicates that tourists will take minibuses contracted by receptive travel agencies or, at most, a taxi. But there are other ways to get around the city if visitors have more time. A good option to feel the urban pulse is to camouflage oneself with “porteño” people and discover the capital as they do: through its arteries.
First of all, you have to arrive, look for a place where you feel comfortable, visit all the surroundings and places that the guidebooks consider as must-see.
The charm of travelling deals with change: leaving the routines and discovering new places, where people can find new friends, new food, new customs. But sometimes, hotels seem to be old and known: as airports, hotels are almost similar in every part of the world. Generally –because there are exceptions– hotels are cold and impersonal. Some time ago, many people started to look for a more personal experience in lodgings which would allow them to become more acquainted with the customs of the place they visit. When such people came across those who were searching for cheaper lodgings, a new way of travelling arose: the house exchange.
Not all the travels are the same, even though tourism sometimes brings that feeling. If you believed in travel agencies, you would have to think that it doesn’t matter if you decide to go to Paris, Madagascar or Chivilcoy: in all of them there are extraordinary monuments, historical milestones, comfortable and luxurious hotels and delicious gastronomy. In all of them, people arrive by some mean of transport with a fixed time schedule, in all of them people do the check in and they visit museums.
