My #travelgoal 1 of 23: Buenos Aires.

I want to share with you my traveling dream, which is to know at least one place in each province of my country Argentina. Today I’m going to tell you a little about a trip I made in the province where I live: Buenos Aires. This trip was to the city of Tandil and I visited the "Moving Stone".

 

This city is 200 miles away from my home and I must say that I was unaware of the existence of this stone until I was there and saw it with my own eyes. It is a 300-ton stone that was on the edge of a hill ... balancing! Finally in 1912 it fell but a replica was placed to show how it had been supported before the fall. Nature and its occurrences!
To get to the stone we had to walk quite a bit uphill. At that time I was in good physical condition!

Buenos Aires is the capital province of Argentina and the city of La Plata is the capital of this province. However, the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA) is the most "touristy" area and there is a greater movement of people. If you ever come as tourists, you’re more likely to end up staying in CABA than in the city of La Plata... Keep that in mind.
The most characteristic monument of the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires is the obelisk. If you come, don't forget to have your picture taken there!

Both La Plata city and the Ciudad Autónoma are 20 miles away from my home and they have a lot of beautiful places that I have visited. I did countless rides using only public transport. I also visited several beaches on the Buenos Aires coast, during the summer and winter for the typical vacations… I know quite a few places in this province because… I live in it!
