Essential Travel Tips
Use local buses or remises (local taxis) for getting around. Colectivo buses are frequent along main avenues like Rivadavia.
Carry Argentine Pesos in cash. Many smaller establishments, like bakeries and local parrillas, prefer or only accept cash.
Learn basic Spanish phrases. English is not widely spoken in suburban areas like this. 'Hola', 'gracias', and 'la cuenta, por favor' (the check, please) go a long way.
Be mindful of safety as in any urban area. Avoid flashing valuables, and stick to well lit, populated streets, especially after dark.
Embrace the late dining schedule. Lunch is around 1-3 PM, and dinner often starts after 9 PM. Restaurants may not open early for evening meals.
Try mate, the traditional herbal tea. If shared with you, it's a sign of friendship. Drink it all in one go when passed to you.
Dress casually and comfortably. Lomas del Mirador has a very informal, everyday vibe, so jeans and sneakers are perfectly acceptable.
When to Go
Best Time to Visit
