If you love pineapple and are hankering for a fresh slice or for a freshly made pina colada, you’ll definitely want to make a stop in Buenos Aires. Sixty four kilometres south-east of San Isidro, and easy to get to by car, Buenos Aires doesn’t look like much on the drive in. In fact, it looks downright boring. But eventually, you will be able to clearly see the exact thing that makes this little town so important: the Del Monte fruit processing plant. Aside from having hundreds of pineapple farms in a small radius out from the factory, Buenos Aires is the gateway to reserves for indigenous populations like the Ujarras, the Saltire and the Calagra. The city is extremely hot, but tranquil and it’s an okay place to kick up your heels for a couple of hours, although it’s not the ideal overnight destination.

Getting there
Most buses skip Buenos Aires, but you can flag them down from the main road. Only Boruca, San Isidro and San José buses actually bother to stop in Buenos Aires.
