Puerto Madero is one of the undisputable destinations of Buenos Aires. People enjoy the traditional walk by its docks, a dinner in any of its restaurants or the chance to grab a beer with some friends in its pubs. A walk through the parks, a picture along the old port cranes or in the famous Women’s Bridge is also a Madero classic. Nothing new we could tell about this place. But there’s something we must warn you, something you might be missing: what’s “beyond” Puerto Madero.
Puerto Madero is accessible from Downtown, four streets that will take you to the Alicia Moreau de Justo Ave., the main street. Crossing the docks, you’ll get to the area called East Madero. Lots of restaurants and offices, a contemporary art museum and the boutique hotel “Faena” are its highlights. Behind this line, towards the river, it’s the other side of Madero, called the Costanera Sur (South Riverside Path).
Once a privileged walk for the Porteños, the Costanera Sur has regained importance as it’s been renew by the growth of Puerto Madero towards the River Plate. The Boulevard de los Italianos, the Calabria Ave., Hernán Giralt St. and Achával Rodríguez St. are the paths, surrounded by parks that frame the area. The kings of those streets are the most famous street food stalls, the “chiringuitos” that sell great Argentine meat and the superb
“choripán”.
Beyond Puerto Madero you’ll find the Nereidas Font, one of the most important sculptures of Buenos Aires, made by Lola Mora. An amphitheater that every weekend presents music and theater shows, a long concrete walk, the old city beach with its large streetlamps that lighten the grass lands that are occasionally covered by the river, and the City’s Natural Reserve. Beyond Puerto Madero there’s much to know, don’t you miss it!

A clear example of this dichotomy can be seen in two of the quintessential tourist district of Buenos Aires: Puerto Madero and San Telmo. San Telmo, which is one of the oldest in the city and takes its name from the church of San Pedro Gonzalez, preserved, as if it were an old postcard, many of the features of the city from XVlll and XlX century.
Contrary to what one may think, the preservation was not due to a public policy, but the total neglect suffered by the neighborhood for many years and which caused havocs in the cultural and architectural heritage.
The progress didn’t come to this district until the 1990’s when the nostalgy started to become fashionable and a few historical buildings restored by the hand of time and man, began to be exploited as bars and restaurants and others were recycled in a postmodern image. The streets maintained their cobblestone streets, old lanterns were settled and began to detect urban archeology architectural gems of great heritage value. Around the
Plaza Dorrego and its traditional antiques fair, every weekend brings thousands of visitors, he developed
hotels,
hostels, gift shops, tanguerias, clubs, museums and galleries. So this is how
San Telmo looks like today: as a neighborhood that appeals to families during the day and bohemian youth at night. Is also one of the favorites districts for tourists, both for walking and to stay or live, along with
Palermo and
Downtown, the
Hostel Colonial district, because his physiognomy characteristically from
Buenos Aires and local color can be seen in every corner.
Puerto Madero, however, is its antítesis. Nowadays, Puerto Madero (4 blocks walking from Hostel Colonial) is one of the most exclusive and modern neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and attracts visitors from all over the world who come to tour the docks and try the local gastronomy, adapted to international tastes.Both neighborhoods complement and justify each other. Arguably, San Telmo is undoubtedly the most local of the international destinations of Buenos Aires, while Puerto Madero has become the most international of their neighborhoods.

We are going to have a party!!! Yes, every single day this hostel account with a place for going out. Of course, is optional we respect if you prefer stay quiet, read a book or rest enough for your holidays.
It’s kind of privilege to stay at hostels nowadays specially at the Hostel Colonial, because if you decide a party night we can offer you plenty of facilities, one is at the doors of discotheques you won’t need to make long frizzy queues, or wait that the man at the entrance will like you deciding how much you will pay or even if you enter for FREE.
We definitely guarantee you the entrance with our FREE TICKETS for several types of amusements, music and places where you can stay until the daybreak with own styles and different alternatives. Hip-Hop, Techno, Modern, Drum & Bass, Reggae, etc…
All of our programs are custom-designed by us. Given the same dedication to detail and “Porteños” flare!, Every itinerary we prepare will before be accompanied with a previous meeting named “Pizza Night”, “Caipirinha Night” or “Empanadas Party” so we could be sharing too in groups at the Hostel Colonial living room, making international friends, who knows the one you talk could be the love of your life or drinking a cold beer at the hostel bar “Backpackers Point“. Then all together head to those places below:
Monday: Bar Severino. 968 Hipólito Irigoyen St., the best way to start the week with Electronic, Rock & Pop.
Tuesday: Hype Kika. 5339 Honduras Ave., Palermo Soho. Drum & Bass, Electro rock, Dub. Excellent attention of people that runs the place.
Wednesday: Museum. It’s a famous discothèque in Perú St. , San Telmo at this day but we are concern about the negative remarks shown at the Thorn Three Forums in the Lonely Planet.
Thursday: Aráoz Club. In Aráoz St. and Santa Fé Ave.. That’s a great option for Hip- Hop freaks where you will see qualified dancers and Hip- Hop culture.
Friday: Mandarines. Fascinating atmosphere with Reggaeton for those who like this rhythm, located in Punta Carrasco in front of the Jorge Newbery Airport just 15´ taxi trip from the Hostel Colonial.
Or you can go to Asia de Cuba in Puerto Madero for Latin music or The Sub, Gay discotheque right on Córdoba Ave. and Florida St. (3 blocks walking from Hostel Colonial)
Saturday: Crobar. Marcelino Freyre St. in Palermo Forests. Highly recommended for our staff!!!
Sunday: Club One. 940 Alsina St. . In the afternoons with an amazing building plus they pick up us with a transfer.
We perceive Buenos Aires an “emotion” and as such our itineraries will be tailored to suit every personal preference and style.
Which day would you choose to go out? Or just spontaneously decide with the flow. KEEP IN MIND. In some places problems appear when you dress improperly so you must be aware for taking the right clothing as a good advice: you must not wear, summer fling flaps, gym clothes, or just go with an untidy look as many times. I’ve seen local people and visitors will deny you the entrance. Keep in mind that parties in Buenos Aires goes on between an accurate and stylish sense of the aspect.

May in Buenos Aires. The weather is strange in this season. Autumn in South America. I went out to walk from Hostel Colonial and took #6 images that reflect what I write.
Rainy days, cloudy days, sunny days, tropical days, sometimes many people, sometimes few people, movie nights and more, more Buenos Aires.
This is Buenos Aires, and I like. This season is incredible to visit.
Enjoy these photos of Buenos Aires in this order: Retiro Railway Station, 9 de Julio Ave., La Plaza Shops, Downtown, Puerto Madero.

Dos joyas de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, dos barrios vecinos, completamente distintos en estética e intención, pero sin duda, complementarios. De un lado, San Telmo, que lleva su nombre por la iglesia San Pedro González Telmo y conserva, como si fuera una postal antigua, gran parte de las características de la ciudad de los siglos XVIII y XIX. Al contrario de lo que se imagina la gente, San Telmo no fue siempre ese barrio con edificios historicos bien conservados. Sufrió mucho descuido y no era tan visto hasta la decada de 90.
Con el boom de la nostalgia, el patrimonio histórico y cultural fue de a poco recuperándose y siendo ocupado por bares, restaurantes, pequeños museos y centros culturales. Se desarrollaron ahí hoteles, boliches, tanguerías y comercios de antiguedades, artesanías y diseño porteño. Hoy en dia es un barrio buscado por las familias de día, principalmente a los domingos, donde está la famosa Feria de San Telmo, y a la noche se llena de jóvenes bohemios por excelencia.
Ya en Puerto Madero se nota una exclusividad y modernidad que atrae a turistas de todo el mundo, que buscan buena gastronomía internacional y el aire sofisticado de la zona. Puerto Madero se transformó en el destino más internacional de la city, mientras San Telmo sigue siendo el preferido local. Dos preciosidades que dan color y belleza a las cercanias del centro y del Hostel Colonial.
Two treasures of the Buenos Aires city, two completely different neigboorhoods, in stetic and intention, but, with no doubt, complementary. By one side, San Telmo, which name comes from the San Pedro Gonzalez Telmo and keeps, like an old post card, lots of caracteristics of the city of the XVIII and XIX centuries. Oposite to what people may think, San Telmo has not always been this beautiful zone with well conservated historic buildings. It has suffered a lack of care and it has not called the people´s attention until the 90´s.
With the nostalgic boom, the historic and cultural patrimony has been, little by little, renovated and being taken by bars, restaurants, small museums and cultural centres. There were appearing hotels, discos, tango houses and antiques, hand-made gifts and design stores. Nowadays is a very popular to the families in the afternoon and by the night, it´s crowded with young bohemian people by excellence.
By the other side, in Puerto Madero, we can notice an exclusive and modern place that attracts tourists of everywhere, that look for good international cuisine and the sofisticated air of the zone. Puerto Madero has turned into the most international destination of the city, while San Telmo keeps being the favorite of the locals. Two precious porteño treasures that give color and beauty to the proximities of the downtown and the Hostel Colonial.

Ao contrário do que imaginam as pessoas, San Telmo nao foi sempre esse bairro com prédios históricos bem conservados. Sofreu muito desdém e nao era tao visto até a década de 90.
Com a explosao da nostalgia, o patrimonio historico foi pouco a pouco sendo restaurado e ocupado por bares, restaurantes, pequenos museus e centros culturais. Se desenvolveram aí hoteis, discotecas, tanguerias e comércios de antiguidades, artesanato e design portenho. Hoje em dia é um bairro muito procurado pelas famílias durante o dia, principalmente aos domingos, dia da famosa Feira de San Telmo, e de noite se enche de jovens boêmios por excelência.

Deux bijoux- San Telmo & Puerto Madero
Deux bijoux de la ville de Buenos Aires, deux quartiers voisins, complètement différents dans esthétique et intention, mais sans doute, complémentaires. D’un côté, San Telmo, qui porte son nom par l’église San Pedro González Telmo et conserve, comme si dehors l’ancienne carte postale, une grande partie des caractéristiques de la ville des siècles XVIII et XIX. Contrairement à ce qu’on imagine les gens, San Telmo n’a pas été toujours ce quartier avec des bâtiments historiques bien conservé. A souffert beaucoup de négligence et elle n’était pas tellement vu jusqu’à la décennie de de 90. Avec le boom de la nostalgie, le patrimoine historique et culturel a été peu à peu en étant récupéré et en étant occupé par des barres, restaurants, petits musées et centres culturels.
On a là développé hôtels, boliches, tanguerías et commerces antiquités, artisanats et conception porteño. De nos jours c’est un quartier cherché par les familles de jour, principalement à le dimanches, où il est la célèbre foire de San Telmo, et à la nuit il est rempli de jeunes de Bohème par excellence.
En Port Madrier on remarque déjà une exclusivité et une modernité qui attire à des touristes de de tout le monde, qui cherchent de la bonne gastronomie internationale et l’air sophistiqué de la zone. Port Madrier a été transformé le destin le plus international que ville, tandis que San Telmo est encore le local préféré. Deux preciosidades qui donnent couleur et beauté aux alentours du centre et du Hostel Colonial.
