Full description
Discover the nature and rich history of Martin Garcia Island on this full-day excursion from Buenos Aires, including lunch and a guided tour.
Embark on a fascinating excursion to Martin Garcia Island, a natural and historical gem located at the confluence of the Uruguay and de la Plata rivers. After setting sail from Puerto Madero, you will arrive at this two-square-kilometer enclave, declared a National Historic Monument in 1958. During the walk along its well-kept and signposted trails, you can marvel at the lush flora and fauna, with the chance to spot deer, turtles, lizards, sloths, and over two hundred bird species.
The island also holds a deep historical legacy. You will explore its old prison, famous for housing prominent Argentine political figures such as Juan Domingo Peron, Arturo Frondizi, and Hipolito Yrigoyen. Furthermore, you can visit the historical museum, the theater, and the traditional bakery, where you must try the famous "presidential sweet bread" (pan dulce). The experience includes a delicious lunch at the Solis restaurant and free time to explore the location at your own pace.
The tour, lasting approximately eight hours, is accompanied by an expert multilingual guide and requires a minimum of two passengers. For your convenience, pickup from downtown hotels starting at 08:00 AM is included. When booking, you can choose whether to include the rate with a return transfer to your accommodation or if you prefer to return on your own to continue enjoying the atmosphere of Puerto Madero.
