Off the Beaten Path Beer and Pubs in Argentina

A bona fide gaucho pueblo exists just a two-hour bus ride from Buenos Aires but a few centuries back in time. San Antonio de Areco, 112 km (70 miles) from the capital city, is, by presidential decree, a historic town of national interest. Dispersed among the period houses are authentic pulperias, or old bars, groceries and long-established workshops of various craftsmen and artisans.
