Antiguo Puerto Madero S.A.
that any of them
actually came to fruition. Though still a work in
progress, Puerto Madero has become a thriving
social and commercial center. Its original gra-
naries, warehouses and docks have been faith-
fully restored and now house modern offices,
luxury lofts, fine restaurants, art galleries and
event centers.
Getting There
To reach Puerto Madero, follow Avenidas
Córdoba, Corrientes Presidente Perón, or any
of the thoroughfares in between, towards the
river. Cross Leandro N. Alem and Eduardo
Madero to Puerto Madero's main strip, Avenida
Alicia Moreau de Justo. It's hard to believe that
the three-story red brick buildings lining the
port side of the avenue, now home to some of the
city's poshest restaurants, were once ware-
houses. Ships would pull up to the docks and
unload their cargo into the warehouses for stor-
age and distribution throughout the city and,
perhaps, the country.
Tip
Combine a morning visit to the Plaza de
Mayo and Plaza de los Dos Congresos
with lunch at one of Puerto Madero's
fine restaurants or come in the evening
for dinner.
Continue on towards the waterfront by cutting
through one of the passageways to the
malecón
