What To Do This Long Weekend

[kwalarking]

Hello guys,

So I am off work from tomorrow Thursday till Tuesday next week and I am not sure what to do with all that time.
I was thinking about going to Pinamar but I hear it is a little too late to book a hotel now.

Suggestions please!!!

It all depends what you are looking for.If any hotelito will do you should find something if it is just for one or two people. You could also explore the interior,Mercedes,Lobos or Baradero or San Pedro along the Baradero river.If it has to be the sea tvhe further away you go from Prinamar to the lesser known beaches the more chance you have of finding a hotelito.Good luck.

San Antonio de Areco
Tigre - either the city with is river front market or a stay at one of the many island/delta hotels

Mar de Las Pampas - lots of small hotels, and cabañas to rent (such as http://www.angelesdelacosta.com/ or http://www.mardelaspampas.com.ar/)

Rosario and the bridge over to Victoria in Entre Ríos

Thanks! I just want to get away really. Does it make sense to rent a car from the city or rent one while there?

I guess you have to ask yourself - do you enjoy driving in the city here? how much experience have you had driving in this city? the costs involved? are you going only by yourself or with a friend or with many people? I would think to make the most of the few days off I would go now to Retiro and buy a bus ticket for the best service possible - then on the day you leave just take the subte there and get on your bus and relax. When you arrive - figure out if a car is really a necessity. Hope some of those thoughts assist you. Enjoy your Easter holiday and holyday too!

Can you recommend any hotels in Tigre? Someone asked me a few weeks ago and I had no clue.

I will try out a new ethnic recipee every day this 6 day weekend.

Now I have a spice grinder in my posession, thanks to Philip DT.

I haven't stayed in hotels in Tigre myself. It will depend how far into "el delta" you want to go (15 mins, 30 mins, 90 minute boat ride) and what kind of accomodation/service you're expecting. I've heard good reviews on http://www.hosterialospecanes.com/, http://www.labecasina.com/

I suggest you check out Lonely Planet, Travel Advisor for references.

I really don't know. As the long distance buses are so good I never looked into it .If you are planning to drive from here this article might help with links as to how to get traffic reports before you set out . 2700 cars per hour are passing the toll booth at Samborombón,
