Buenos Aires, Argentina Ride Around Town

Buenos Aires, Argentina Ride Around Town

After settling in with a few beers on my first night in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I met up with Eric Bernath a few days later, a fellow solo traveler who started his journey in May 2016 and has been traveling the world.

Eric is a nice guy who with his Vstrom has traveled North America, Central America, Mexico, South America, Africa and is now in Europe. He is still going too and will be in Australia sometime shortly! Follow Eric on Instagram

We just rode around with no real goals. We also did a little shopping, had a bite to eat and just toured the city.

Dakar Motos – Shipping your Motorbike from Buenos Aires

We also met with the people at Dakar Motos, who would be shipping our bikes, mine to Miami and Eric’s to Capetown South Africa.

I will write more about this in the next blog post, including a detailed description of what you need to do to ship your motorbike to anywhere in the world from Buenos Aires.

Shipping Motorbike from Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires would also be the city where I had to arrange to ship my motorbike from Buenos AAiresto Miami, Florida, which I will address in detail in the following post.

Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is Argentina’s big, cosmopolitan capital city. Its center is the Plaza de Mayo, lined with stately 19th-century buildings including Casa Rosada, the iconic, the balconied presidential palace. Other major attractions include Teatro Colón, a grand 1908 opera house with nearly 2,500 seats, and the modern MALBA museum, displaying Latin American art. From Wikipedia
