In an endeavour to divulge more incredible information for insider's information; Teresita will acquaint you of a variety of fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry, meat cuts, and South American spices all through the fair. Indulge into the great Argentine culture and look out for what is happening around in this customary market. Roam around quietly and be ensured the traffic is almost closed in the area.
If you are a diehard "foodie" and like to dig deep into the local cuisine, the whole scenario will amaze you, while peeping on a range of small stands exhibiting a variety of different spices and herbs - that is the reason why we brought you here. The lively display of food here is an example in itself. The food stand exhibit here are second to none. It is for this reason food markets have their own life and the artisanal food displayed all this truly reflect the uniqueness of the Argentine culture. (Duration 30 - 45 minutes).
We wish to reiterate that these food markets are not as fancy and are unspoilt and are far away from the humdrum of tourist friendly markets in downtown Buenos Aires. Here all local food produced is sold, and peasants greet and welcome you with their smile. You won't find an array of stores selling Italian olive oil or French cheese in the market. But you will not be disappointed when you discover the authentic Argentinean town market. Our sole intent to bring you here for this culinary tour and by selecting this food market is to showcase and bring you to close proximity with our culture.
