Get to know the Porteño's life and idiosyncrasy

Below you will find what we consider the best tour options our partner Traveldreamers AR has to offer for those looking for a one of a kind visit to Buenos Aires before or after heading your main fly fishing trip to San Martín de los Andes.

BA City tours

Half day and full day tours will offer an insider’s view of the daily lives of “porteños” while visiting the main attractions of Buenos Aires like Teatro Colón Opera House, Avenida 9 de Julio, Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada, and the Metropolitan Cathedral. Your expert guide will encourage you to get off the beaten track and discover the true identity of the city.

We will explore the vibrant markets and cobblestone streets of San Telmo, and learn about the origins of the city among the colorful houses of La Boca.

You’ll be also drive through the upscale waterfront of Puerto Madero and on to Recoleta, home to the famous cemetery where Evita Perón is buried and considered an open-air museum.

Dinner & tango Show

Tango is the musical identity of Buenos Aires, born in the suburbs as a result of a strong cultural mix in the latter part of the 19th century. Having some contact with Tango is a “must” experience for first-time visitors.

The venue is a historical building in the heart of San Telmo neighborhood that will immerse you in the culture of Buenos Aires.

After a three-course a la carte meal, you will enjoy a spectacular professional show with 16 performers – a live tango orchestra, Argentine folk music group, dancers, and singers.

The VIP dinner option offers upgraded dinner choices and wines plus a complimentary tango lesson or wine tasting before dinner.

Milongas are Tango ballrooms where locals go to practice their moves. While most of the people are amateur dancers, some professional dancers might show up at some point of the night to steam up the dance floor!

This tour is an authentic local night out, starting with traditional pizza on the buzzling Corrientes Av. before heading to one of the many Milongas of the city where your tango coach will teach you the basics of this sexy dance and will encourage you to give it a try and steam up the dancefloor!

Estaban and his team are first class. They arranged everything for the week. Making the trip so easy. And of course, the fishing. Each day we fished different water. Including a really fun overnight camping trip 1/2 way through a river float. We pulled up to the campsite that was totally set up with tents cots and sleeping bags. And, we enjoyed roasted lamb over an open fire. 3 rivers and a lake (really fun). Estaban and guides put us on plenty of fish over the 6 fishing days.Estaban and his family made us feel really welcome to Patagonia. And the food? Awesome. I would definitely recommend. Southern Loops.

Esteban and his crew of guides were amazing. A group of 8 women anglers spent a week fishing in Patagonia on several rivers. We enjoyed our time on and off the rivers and lake. The fishing was both fun and challenging. The fishing, accommodations and food were well worth the value.

Just got back from an amazing all women’s fishing adventure with Southern Loops in Patagonia! I had never fly fished before, and was with a group that was much more experienced. The guides were excellent at accommodating different skill levels in the same boat and helping me catch a big rainbow my first day! I highly recommend Southern Loops. They are professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind and very friendly.

Esteban and his crew were amazing. The communication before our trip, the details and support during the trip, and most importantly our time on the water all went off beautifully! The guides were knowledgeable and funny and very helpful to both the very experienced in our group and to the one guest who had never fished before. I absolutely recommend SouthernLoops!

My Fifth trip to the region for my Summer (there) fly fishing fix. Southern Loops does it all right. Highly organized and accommodating, every aspect of my trip with Esteban and the crew was a pleasure. It was a very personalized adventure not corporate like some trips can be. If you can, go!

If you are looking for one of the best guided fly fishing experiences you can have in Patagonia (Lakes District), SouthernLoops should be your first choice. Esteban and his family run SouthernLoops like a well oiled machine. Everything is so well organized and thoughtful - two words not ordinarily associated with fly fishing guiding services. From airport transfers, to hotels, to your time in cities on your way to Patagonia, and of course the fishing experience itself, it’s all taken care of and run professionally but with a lovely personal touch by Esteban and his team.My wife and I had one of our favorite shared travel memories during our week with Esteban. I certainly cannot wait to return for round 2.

My son and I had the good fortune of fishing with Esteban for 3 days on 3 different rivers. He treated us like family. Esteban is very knowledgeable about all aspects of fly fishing but his most impressive attribute was his commitment to the protection of the fish as well as the environment they depend on. If you have a chance to make the journey to Patagonia and have the opportunity to fish with Esteban and his team, you will experience the trip of a lifetime! We caught LOTS of fish! Tight lines!Mike & Benny

Out trip with Esteban, his guides, and the entire team at Southernloops was without question one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The fly fishing was good, the guides worked hard to help maximize our experience, and the service provided by Esteban and his team was immaculate! The scenery, the food, the wine, the culture, and the guides were all outstanding. Also, I was able to share this trip with my two sons and a good friend…and Esteban and his team went out of their way to make sure we maximized our experience. The personal touch was absolutely incredible….so if you’re looking for a 5 Star fishing experience in Patagonia I would highly recommend Esteban and Southern Loops!!
