I ♥ Buenos Aires -- Ten reasons why BA is a great place to go.

Here are the first 3 reasons!



1 - The transportation system.

Unlike other Southamerican cities, BA has a very good subway system that connects South to North, East to West; And interconnects with trains and buses. There are at least a hundred bus lines, 6 subway lines, and 8 railroads.
So going around BA is easy, cheap and touristically profitable, as you can see your way from and to every destination. The Guia T or Filcar Guides are unexpensive and self explanatory when showing the easiest way through this beautifull city.

Metropolitan Buses





Buenos Aires main train Station "RETIRO"




2 - The 100 barrios of Buenos Aires.

Actually, they are 48, but they are known as the 100´s from a tango song by Alberto Castillo.
Diverse and stylish in their own way, each BA neighbourhood has an identity of its own. Architecture in this city is something to enjoy. Your travelling costs get even lower if you choose to walk through these cultural gems. Cathedrals, La Boca´s conventillos, Belgrano´s huge houses, Palermo design Buildings, Downtown BA Office Buildings...you have it all. From early european influence to contemporary designs.










3 - Not so touristic spots to be loved.

Belgrano - Barrancas de Belgrano & other places.





Caballito- Parque Centenario & Book fair.





Flores - Plaza Flores & Basílica San José de Flores.

The HOSTEL experience in Buenos Aires.

Why Argentina and hostelling are meant for each other?

Well, let me tell you about it.
Hostelling does not have to be for teenagers or young adults. All of us can enjoy this experience. Why? Because sharing, and understanding a culture is for anyone willing to experience it.



Buenos Aires can be a hassle. We, argentine naturals, are a mess.
But this unstructured way of living is an experience that I recommend to anyone seeking adrenaline.
This country has a huge set of complications, and you know it, we know it. But this gives us that little something that turns Buenos Aires, and any other location in Argentina a unique experience...Just walk around any park, and you`ll see it, you´ll feel it.

There´s a 100 neighbourhoods to be discovered just by walking.
Music? You may find people singing in the streets, subways and parks.


Handcrafts? Unique handcrafts decorating any of the 100 fairs Buenos Aires has.
Books? They are exchanged for others, no questions asked.
Museums? Anything is there for less than a dollar, or maybe, for free.


Mate? You just need to find someone to share it with...Mate infusion, was made originally as a metaphore for sharing..

This are the reasons why Buenos Aires and Hostelling are meant for each other.
Argentine culture invites you to share your experiences, your everyday life, and your way to be.

Presentando Kapake al mundo / Showing Kapake to the world

Solo haber terminado la obra de Kapake fué una aventura. Y ahora? Me miro en el espejo empolvado de lo que será la recepción, y pienso...
Cómo nos hacemos conocer?
A quién me dirijo? Quién es mi público?
Cuánto puedo gastar en publicidad?
Con quién cuento?
Esas 5 preguntas las respondí en un periquete...Lo tenemos que acordar entre todos siempre que esté el dueño de acuerdo...
Kapake nació de muchos esfuerzos económicos, personales y particulares de cada uno que se compometió a ser parte de su historia. Y así como lo ven, costó muchisimo "parirlo".
Les dejo algunas fotos y después les subo la construcción de Kapake.
No es un Hostel cualquiera...es el que nos costó a cada uno de nosotros que trabajamos acá...




Los invito a que vean nuestra página y hagan las preguntas que quieran.



Kapake Palermo Hostel

Finishing Kapake was a hassle, an adventure I recommend to anyone seeking adrenaline.
"Now What?", I think as I stare myself in the dusty still-to-be reception mirror.
How are we going to show this to the world?
Who are we going to address? Who will be out target?
How much money do I have to do this?
Do I have anyone to count with?
These 5 fisrt questions where easy to answer: We have to talk...we need to agree, and then talk to the owner!
Kapake was made out of efforts: economic, personal and particular from each of us that want to be part of it´s history. And it was dificult to give birth to...
Here are some pictures of Kapake NOW: finished, bright, and new.

And it´s just not another hostel...It is the one we have built from zero.

Here is an invitation to browse our page and ask any question you want.
