how to get there from puerto madero
Are you staying in Puerto Madero and coming to class? Getting here is easy and quick because we’re so close and it’s even a lovely walk if you decide to come on foot! Puerto Madero is one of Buenos Aires’ most modern neighborhoods, known for its luxury residential towers, gourmet restaurants, and beautiful waterfront setting. Surrounded by parks, historic ships, and with direct access to the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, it’s one of the few places in the city where you can enjoy views of the river and discover native plants and wildlife. While Puerto Madero wasn’t designed with public transportation in mind, there are still several convenient ways to get to our school and we’ll show you the best options below.
Getting Oriented
There are six streets you’ll quickly get to know if you’re staying in Puerto Madero:
Rosario Vera Peñaloza
