Highlights of Our Palermo & Recoleta Bike Tour
Cementerio de Recoleta:
Cementerio de Recoleta:
Our ride takes us to Recoleta Cemetery, one of Buenos Aires’ most remarkable landmarks and the final resting place of many of Argentina’s most influential figures. Behind its ornate mausoleums and marble sculptures lies a fascinating story of wealth, power and social status. Buenos Aires’ elite families competed to create increasingly elaborate tombs, turning the cemetery into an extraordinary open-air display of architecture and history. Spend around 30 minutes exploring its remarkable corners and learning about the people buried here.
*Recoleta Cemetery ticket is not included.
Floralis Generica:
Floralis Genérica is one of Buenos Aires’ most distinctive modern landmarks, a giant metal flower set beside the University of Buenos Aires Law School. Created by Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano and gifted to the city in 2002, the sculpture has become an iconic part of the Recoleta landscape. Its petals open during the day and close at night, creating a striking sight as the light changes. We’ll stop here to admire the sculpture, take photos and enjoy the surrounding park, a lively gathering place for students and locals.

Bosques de Palermo:
Bosques de Palermo:
Ride through the green heart of Buenos Aires as we explore the extensive Bosques de Palermo, a network of parks and gardens that gives the city a welcome sense of space and nature. A large part of our route follows bike paths alongside these parks, making it one of the most enjoyable stretches of the tour. We’ll pass by peaceful lakes, open green spaces, and some of Palermo’s most beautiful corners before reaching the Rosedal, the city’s famous rose garden. With thousands of rose plants and dozens of varieties, the Rosedal is one of the highlights of this vast urban park and a favorite place for porteños to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
Palermo Chico:
Ride through Palermo Chico, one of the most elegant and distinctive areas of Buenos Aires, also known as Barrio Parque or the “Embassies Area.” Its quiet, tree-lined streets are surrounded by impressive French-inspired residences and palaces, many of which have become embassies and diplomatic residences. The neighborhood was developed as an exclusive residential area and still reflects the lifestyle and architectural tastes of Buenos Aires’ upper classes during the city’s most prosperous years. As we ride through Palermo Chico, its grand buildings, leafy streets, and refined atmosphere offer another glimpse into why Buenos Aires is often called “The Paris of South America.”
Palermo Chico:
Palermo Soho:
Palermo Soho:
Explore Palermo Soho, one of Buenos Aires’ most lively and creative neighborhoods. Until a few decades ago, this area was mostly made up of modest houses, small garages, and workshops. Over time, it went through a remarkable transformation, becoming a popular meeting point for young porteños, artists, designers, and food lovers. Today, its streets are filled with independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants, bars, art galleries, and colorful street art. The contrast between Palermo Soho and the elegant residential areas we visit elsewhere in the tour gives you a fascinating look at the different sides of contemporary Buenos Aires.
