Tired of Doing Touristy things?

Take a sailboat trip on the delta.... Who knew Buenos Aires has such a beautiful port? For 100 pesos a person you can take a private sailboat tour for 2 to 3 hours. Call the captain Gonzalo to set a date for a sailing trip (schedule depends on weather)








The coolest things to do in the city can be found on the Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires website, it can be a real pain to navigate at first, but if you can figure it out there are some really interesting things going on around the city and guess what? They are free, and they are not targeted solely for tourists.
For example:

OUTSIDE THEATRE IN THE PLAZA

Sarmiento Hombre de dos Mundos
Where: Parque Rivadavia Rivadavia 4800
When: Tonight, Tuesday February 15th 21:00 Or:

LA NOCHE DE LAS LINTERNAS

Artista: Mariana Cincunegui.

Una propuesta de carácter lúdico y participativo, que invita a descubrir los museos desde una perspectiva distinta. Con la ayuda de linternas, se presenta una aventura en la penumbra en la que se puede disfrutar de música, bailes y juegos. Alumbrar el detalle, explorar el rincón no visto, producir un encuentro con un cuadro, un libro o un animal son algunas de las posibilidades de esta actividad propuesta por Mariana Cincunegui.

Where: Museo de Arte Español Enrique Larreta

Av. Juramento 2291.

When: Thursday, February 17th at 20:30

_________________________________________________
Another cultural activity that has been reccomended, is a dance/theatre show called Sin Pecado Concebido. So Like I said if you a really tired of the same old tourist options, this show is supposed to be a very original fusion of tango, theatre and history.

SIN PECADO CONCEBIDO

La compañía No Bailaras presenta “Sin Pecado Concebido” en el Teatro de La Rivera. Se trata de un espectáculo de milonga y tango argentino inspirado en el baile popular de los años 40 y 50, abordado desde una perspectiva actual.

Where: Teatro de la Ribera
Av. Pedro Mendoza 1821

Thursday is the cheapest night to go (15 pesos) but they have showings all week.
