Racecation Review

Buenos Aires is a city that dances to its own rhythm — literally. Racing HYROX here means blending elite athletic performance with a cultural immersion unlike anywhere else. Known as the “Paris of South America,” Buenos Aires combines grand boulevards, colorful barrios, and a nightlife that doesn’t quit. Athletes will feel the passion of the city both on and off the racecourse — from high-energy workouts in local gyms to evenings of tango, steak, and Malbec. For a racecation, Buenos Aires offers a mix of grit and glamour that makes every moment memorable.

Cost Insights

Compared to North America and Europe, Buenos Aires is highly affordable for athletes.

  • Hotels: €50–120 per night for mid-range, boutique stays. Luxury properties are still cheaper than NYC or Paris.
  • Meals: World-class steak dinners with wine for €15–30. Casual empanadas or pizza for under €5.
  • Transport: Subte (metro) costs ~€0.30 per ride, Uber/taxis across the city usually €3–10.
  • 👉 For value and experience, few HYROX racecations compare.

Hotel Picks

Public transport guide

Buenos Aires transport is accessible and cheap, though a bit chaotic.

  • Airport → City: Official taxis and Uber are most reliable (45–60 min). Shuttle buses are available but slower.
  • City Transport: Subte (metro) covers most neighborhoods; very cheap but crowded. Buses are frequent and extensive. Uber works well for athletes moving with gear.
  • Tips: Always use official taxis/Uber at the airport. Keep some pesos handy for metro/buses, though many accept rechargeable SUBE cards.
