New week, new place, new continent… let’s head south to Buenos Aires!

I’ve been there myself many years ago, and at this time I did not know the joys of running. I guess I was also too young to enjoy all the wonders of this amazing city, but I still remember Caminito and it’s colourful buildings, Plaza de Mayo and it’s incredible story, and the delightful atmosphere of the whole city, with its Tango clubs for people of all ages, its “Parrilla” restaurants that will serve you the best beef you ever had, and so much more…

And Buenos Aires is not only a great city for soccer , it is also a great place for runners! Whether you want to discover some parts of the city while running such as Puerto Madero and Palermo, or discover some amazing trail routes just outside the city, there will definitely be something for you!

But for now, hold on before buying your plane ticket, and first read our article about four Instarunners in Buenos Aires ;)

@RBKDC

Rebecca Del Castillo Perez is a trail runner and a biker, who describes herself as “Cazadora de sueños”, which means “dreams hunter”. She definitely loves adventure and running up all the hills she finds!

But Rebecca also has a special story: she‘s been living with a pacemaker since 1999. Rebecca is a great exemple who proves that passion for sports can give you some incredible determination and strength!

On her account you will find amazing trail pictures, and if you understand spanish her captions are really inspiring too.
