Best Markets to Visit in Argentina
Bursting with local color and rich in cultural heritage, Argentina’s markets are a great way to acquaint yourself with the country. Here are the nation’s best.
1. Patagonia: El Bolsón artist fair
Market
The Feria Regional de El Bolsón is a highly selective and therefore exceptionally good artists’ market in Patagonia’s hippie-loving town. Most items are made by hand and sold by the artists themselves. You’ll find everything from high-quality ceramics to exquisite little boxes made out of shells and nuts, handmade soaps infused with honey, handmade clothing, food stands, and more. Saturdays are the best day to go.
