Feria de Mataderos

The Mataderos fair revolves around one of Argentina's most fascinating national symbols: los gauchos, brave and lawless cowboys who occupy an important spot in the country's culture. The fair offers the opportunity to experience Argentina's culture in its purest form, whether by tasting the local meat, buying typical gauchos' handicrafts or dancing to tango beats.
