Mercado del Progreso en Caballito

(Produce Market in Caballito)

Fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry and everything else - produce direct from the farm

This place has become a famous place to visit in the neighborhood of Caballito and one of its most important tourist attractions for those who enjoy learning the food traditions of Argentina. It is visited daily by thousands of people seeking the best quality and lowest prices on fresh produce, as well as curious people that they can not overcome the temptation to taste a piece of the history Buenos Aires and its food tradition.

The market today is in an excellent place to explore the various produce the farmers bring here daily. The many stands, offering great cuts of Argentine meat, followed by fish, fruit and vegetables is a unique experience not to be missed if your interest is food. You will find spices, pasta and typical bakeries among other finds.
The most popular characters are the butchers - each with their own specialty, be it of beef, veal, pork, chicken, rabbit and more. Here they gather to sell their fresh produce and to spend the day talking with their stand neighboors, much as they did nearly 120 years ago. El Mercado del Progreso is known as a reunion place, where every day gathering to engage in selling and buying is a social event.
As many world famous markets, people discuss food preparation tips, comment about prices and compare quality.

Buddha, our tour guide who also offers transportation, will be happy to take you to the Mercado del Progreso en Caballito. Buddha offers two options, either take you there and be your guide for the day besides being helping you with translations for u$s 70 - or he can pick you up from Teresita B&B, take you there and then pick you up for u$s 40. All Buddha's rates are payable to him at time of service.
If you wish to go on your own, Teresita will give you all the directions to get there. Some activities we recommend you use Buddha's transportation services as it can be a little hard to get by public transportation. This place is recommended that you use Buddha's services.
