Discover the city of La Plata on this day trip from Buenos Aires! Explore the capital of the province of Buenos Aires with your local, bilingual guide. After pickup from your Buenos Aires hotel, depart on a 35-mile (57-km) ride to La Plata.

Visit the Cathedral of La Plata, one of the largest churches in Argentina. Inspired by European cathedrals, the Cathedral of La Plata is located near the center of the city, making it one of the most prominent structures in the city.

Home to over 2 million artifacts, your guide will show you around and teach you about some of the objects collected at the museum, including ancient dinosaur fossils from Patagonia.

Then, head to the astronomical observatory, where you’ll learn intriguing facts about the stars and galaxies. Next, visit the Teatro Argentino de La Plata, home to one of Argentina's leading opera houses.

This tour is a great way to see life in Argentina outside of Buenos Aires. It offers a couple of stops and last just about the length offered we hit traffic in both directions and it lasted about 4.5 hours. The first stop is at the cathedral in the photo which is beautiful some may be disappointed with the length of time there, only about 10 minutes. The second stop is the Natural Museum of La Plata, which is really great. It's cool to see dinosaur bones and animals found in South America, in addition to just visiting a museum outside of the US. The pick up for this tour is from hotels within the city center, so you'll need to get to a hotel if you're staying outside of that.

The picture does not show the actual place, in fact this looks like La Boca then La Plata, and it was disappointed with the tour guide, not much explanation given on the way to la plata. While we were in there she bought entrance ticket and we went to the catheral and natural science musuem by ourself. Did not go any whereelse that was mentioned in the add. Not worth the time and money because it was not what was advertised.

It's a good alternative if you'd like to visit places outside of Buenos Aires. I liked the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception as well as the Museum of Natural Sciences.
