Beyond <strong>Buenos</strong> <strong>Aires</strong><br />
WHILE BUENOS AIRES is the obvious focal point of the River Plate region,<br />
its surrounding communities — sprouting up from jungle-like river deltas<br />
or sprawling, rugged mountain terrain — kick with local rhythms of their own.<br />
Fruit and lumber have drifted downriver from the labyrinthine waterways of<br />
Tigre, just 16 miles (25 km) north of Retiro, for over a century. The romantic<br />
spirit of the boundless Pampa and the gauchos who tamed it is celebrated in<br />
the southwestern Mataderos and the<br />
historical, handsome village of San<br />
Antonio de Areco. With flights and<br />
ferries leaving for the walkable capital<br />
of Montevideo, the colonial jewel<br />
Colonia del Sacramento, and the<br />
fashionable beach destination Punta<br />
del Este, Uruguay figures in any<br />
discussion of favorite porteño getaways.<br />
