Por muchos años, durante la dictadura militar (1976-1983) está era una zona restringuida. Recién en 1989 se decidió recuperar esta zona para la ciudad, y así surgió lo que hoy es conocido como Puerto Madero. Actualmente tiene una enorme y bella costanera, con 43 restaurantes, 11 pubs y bares, el Yacht Club de Puerto Madero, auna24-hours disco, 8 salas de cine y teatro, un importante npumero de "torres inteligentes" , un hotel cinco estrellas y la sede de una universidad privada.
El barco que puede apreciarse en la foto es la "Fragata Presidente Sarmiento". Esta fragata fúncionó como escuela naval desde 1899 hasta 1961, y a partir de esa fecha funciona como un museo naval, donde pueden apreciarse auténticas maniobras de navegación, magníficas piezas de madera con detalles de bronce, un torpedo, etc.
Está abierto todos los días desde las 9.30 am hasta las 8.00 pm.-

Typical sight from north to south of Puerto Madero ...one of the posh places in Buenos Aires to have a meal or drink something .... i didnt go to the southernmost area....to " Reserva costanera sur" ,..i was lazy lol... but im sure it worth a stroll there
Formerly it was just the main harbour but some years ago it became a cosy place for locals and trendy actually Leave a Comment

 Puerto Madero by Maggies
The renovation included the whole area, the docks, parks, squares, promenades. It gave it a look of a brand new quarter, indeed, very nice for walking or having something to eat.

Este puente peatonal y giratorio es la primera obra del arquitecto e ingeniero valenciano(España) Santiago Calatrava que se construye en América del Sur.
Tiene 160 metros de largo y seis de ancho. Su mástil metálico se eleva 39 metros. El puente está preparado para moverse cada vez que una embarcación necesita pasar.
El perfil plástico del puente es interpretado por el autor como la figura de una pareja que baila tango, donde el mástil blanco representa al hombre y la silueta curva del puente la mujer
This pedestrian and turning bridge is the first work of the Valencia (Spain) Engineer Santiago Calatrava built in South America
It has 160m long and 6 m width . The metallic mast reaches 39m . The bridge is prepared to to move each time that a ship needs to pass
The plastic profile of the bridge is understood by the author as the figure of a couple dancing tango , where the white mast is the man and the curved shape of the bridge is the woman Leave a Comment

This is the an old run down dock area full of rats that in our days turned to a high class district (it’s very expensive to have a house here, especially one apartment that overlooks the river). The old abandoned warehouses will give you an idea how the area looked like some years before. The massive renewal of the area at the early 90s transformed the area into a nice barrio full of good restaurants and cafes. The prices are more expensive but it’s worth to visit at least once. All the streets in Puerto Madero have names of important women of Argentine history!
You can just walk next to the river with your loved one and admire the view or just see the Puente de la Mujer (the famous bridge of Calatrava)
The Woman Bridge is another bridge of Santiago Calatrava the famous architect from Spain. This is his first bridge in Latin America and I hope the last one because it’s really boring seeing the same lyra style everywhere. It’s 160 metres long and it’s a turning bridge because of the passing ships (in fact all the bridges here open for that reason). They say the shape of the bridge shows a couple dancing tango!!! Directions: Puerto Madero situated next to San Telmo, in 5' walking distance

Puerto Madero is Buenos Aires waterfront area on the banks of the Río de la Plata. The area
has some houses, offices, lofts, private universities, hotels, movie theatres, galleries and restaurants that attract locals and visitors to this area.
We enjoyed a nice walk along the river on a sunny afternoon. The area is bustling with people and it's a great place to watch the world go by. Leave a Comment
