    A note about leaving the San Miguel area in a remis to return to the city. From my experiance it will be difficult if not imposible. Most of the remis are not legal for one reason or another and they don't want to go far. But the 57 from Pilar passes for ruta 8 plus the 57 from Lujan passes through town (ruta 23) and these will drop you in plaza Italia. Again these buses are not very abundant in the early morning hours. It would be safer just to wait for the train. I think the first leaves around 5am. I will check next time I pass by the station. The 203 from Moreno to puente Saaverdra passes frequently but this leaves you up on the north end plus its slow.

    Thumbs up

    Thanks guys. You've answered my questions, and even told me the best way to get there! I've got a better picture now of the provincia scene. Looks like there might be a 'best of both worlds' option to try a non-pro boliche first, and then hit the puteria if you strike out. Now it just needs some intrepid mongers to plan it out, give it a go and report back. Suerte!

    Gandolfo, I didn't know about the Urquiza line but after some reading it might well be possible to take the B line, take the Urquiza line and get of in the centre of San Miguel. Takes you about 1 hour I guess.

    The way back could be a ***** though I think (or maybe they start to run around 5 like Mitre) and it might be better to get a remis (especially if you are going with a group) that sets you back around 100 peso

    I do think San Miguel is worth going but its a pretty young crowd. Coyote is pretty well known and has a bit older crowd. No foreigners though

    Maybe you misunderstood. I agreed with you that the San Martin line is un safe at night. I was pointing out that the Urquiza line is much nicer. Its electric not diesel, and as a result its faster. There seems to be a nicer class of commuters and maybe because it passes alongside Campo de Mayo there usually are police and or MP's on the train at night. The best part (at least for me) is that it stops about 100 yards from my favorite puteria (Imagina).

    Train to San Miguel

    As you pointed out the San Martin line is not a good idea. Don Torquato is closer to Tigre (another nice party area) the U train (urquiza?) from Federico LaCroze ends right in town at Gral Lemos. The train is safe and clean. Usually lots of cops and military on the train.

    Are you refering to coyote in San Miguel? That one is still around and is pretty well known by Argentines. Getting there though is ā ***** because you need to go with linea san Martin and people tell me its pretty dangerous at night. Other option is maybe to take the belgrano untill Don turquato and take the bus from there, again ā *****.

    The art about pulling girls from ā bolliche is getting drunk aproach as many girls as possible by dancing, pulling them toewards you, standing in there way and stuff like that. Argentine girl like it that way. Once you get her attention buy her ā drink and get her drunk. Your basically are guaranteed sex at that point.

    If she is with ā big group try to get her alone for example to take her to ā quiet place like outside or ask her to go with her to the bar. Also don't be afraid to touce her hair or grab her waist Argentine girls in Boliches like you to be agressive and like to be touched

    About p4p I am really not sure and I don't know why you would want that if you are in Boliche full of girls that want to get laid.

    My guess is that 90 porcent is not interested and most would probally slap you in the face, Argentina is not Peru where this kind of thing is much more common.

    Many of the bigger Boliches have some putas and travas looking for work, but they are easy to recognize but NEVER try that kind of stuff with normal girls.

    If you are with ā big group I would suggest El Bosque in Quilmes its big safe and easy to reach.

    If you are going with ā group of gringos you will get plenty of attention

    A few queries

    Thought I'd re-open this one, as there's been recent interest in both the Black and Hippo threads, there's good info here, and it made me curious about the Provincia scene. Probably not for me when I'm here on vacation (the long commute is too much like what I do the other 48 weeks of the year, and I'm back serving sentence in SP anyway). But maybe an opportunity here for a small group of centro based guys, preferably with Madahos / Black / Hippo experience, to make a long night of it, visit some of these places and report back in detail on chica quality, availability, atmosphere, prices etc? TOFTT? Could be fun.

    I used to visit a few of the non-pro boliches when I first started coming to Bs As in the 90s, but never got further than Palermo / Belgrano. There was one called Coyote (en Los Arcos) which had podium dancers and a decent buzz (don't know if it's still going). Even remember Hippo when it was a normal disco. I didn't find them good hunting grounds though. Although I'm ok with the loud music and the raw atmosphere, I gave up going, mainly because the decibel levels made chat-up conversation difficult and there were just too many younger better looking guys to compete with. The cigarette smoke was a killer too.

    Playing the newbie card, the questions that come to mind after reading this thread are.

    1. Are the Provincia boliches just about non-pro chicas (as the forum sub-title suggests) , or are there places that deal exclusively in pros (like Madahos etc). Or maybe a mixture of both, a bit like Cocodrilo and the old Help disco in Rio?

    2. (the 64 dollar question). Short of taping a US $100 bill on your forehead, how do you get the message across to a non-pro chica in one of these places that you'd be up for some P4P action? I don't know about North America, but girls in Western Europe (even the ones in strip clubs) can get VERY angry when you try this on (not to mention their boyfriends, if you hadn't spotted them). Do you go out of your way to look and act like a gringo and then wait for some interest? If so, it's the reverse strategy to the centro pro scene.

    Instinctively I'd guess that the better looking pros would all head for Recoleta or the triangle where they could make better money (the ones I meet often seem to travel in from miles away). But you guys with the knowledge might be able to put me right on this.

    Another report:

    Brako bar:

    Close to the station in Ramos Mejia around Rivadavia 14000. Seems like it is for the area pretty much a upper class bar. Drinks were also not cheap. Crowds are similar to the crowd in capital. There were some nice girls but by Argentine standards I would say pretty average. Crowd was mainly from 20 to 40. The place was packed around 2 and I didn't like it, but its offcourse hit and miss.

    Right across the tracks you have the boliche Vesuvius. Not a really big place about 500 people and there are some male and female strippers. The female strippers were definitly not cute. Crowd is basically 20 plus and some woman from basically every age. I personally think that almost girls are ugly but some might like it. For me the Crowd is pretty similar to pimar de rocha which I also didn't like.

    Entrance for me was 35 peso but my guess the price is about 40 and didnt include a drink. Speed con wodka was cheap with ā full glass of wodka and another one to share. 20 peso which is cheap nowadays.

    The area is dodgy at best and I would definitly Wander a lot around at night. Boliches seem safe. From I think around 5 the trains start running and that might be an option as well. Right at the door there is a bus that takes you to primer junta, from there on it's easy to take another bus, taxi or subte

    I really don't like the area and Basically I went because my friends wanted to go but I doubt I Will be back

    I wild estimate for me is that going out in provincia is about 25 to 30 percent cheaper then in capital, especially THE expat barrios.

    Tonight I am probally going to kamstaka or something like that, not ā really big place but enjoyable and about 3 blocks from the station acasusso

    Do your boys specially go to that club or do they (you? Live close?
    I live about 8 miles to the west of Moreno. But for my kids who only visit once a year or once every two yeaars it is a easy place to find from my house by car or bus or even on foot (follow the train tracks! ) There are lots of places around but few that are easy to get to by bus or train frim the city. I am assuming most of the people in this forum stay or live in the city which is understandable. But for those of us who "live in the sticks" as my son puts it there are places much closer and cheaper then going all the way into the city.

The train from Once ends in Moreno (about 1 hour from Once) from the station follow the tracks and the crowds another 3 blocks in the same direction you have been traveling and its on the left. Lots of single women, all ages and all types. I don't care for the place but my boys who are in their thirty's love it. I doubt many people speak english but my boys don, t speak spanish but they always seem to drag a few girls back to the house when they are here.

    Dave,

    Whats provincia for you: Zona Norte, Oeste and/or Sur?

    Some points:

    I must have taken atleast 50 trips with a cab to provincia and I have NEVER paid more then the ida, just ask the guy what his estimated price is, if he knows the place and let him leave if he wants to bullshit you, there are plenty of cab drivers who want to take you for what the reloj says. Some knowledge of Spanish helps you offcourse and it would be even better to go with a local and let him do the talking

    I have taken maybe around 15 to 20 trips from provincia with Roca at night and I have felt scared or threathend in any way. I take my iPhone everywhere but never take it out when I don't know the place well. I would leave your golden watch and cc at home though. Just use common sense and stay where there are people and you will probally be fine. Look around will never hurt you though

    Most boliches even have telos at there place or really close, just take a turno de noche, have fun and go back to cap during the day

    I would think itīs common sense to donīt get drunk, get in fights and do crazy stuff like that. That is not a good idea in your home town nor in Capital

    If you want out to check out a place like El Bosque I donīt really think there is a lot that can go wrong because the 159 bus really stops one block from the club and every single one takes you back to Capital. People that travel on that bus are mainly people who work in Capital but live in Provincia. I am not sure about the way there though, there is a 159 that takes you there but I donīt know which. I have basically start drinking in San Telmo(place like Gibraltar and red door are nice) and took a cab from there or taken a 159 blindly and wait untill I get near a bingo and get a cab there. That should work as well.

    A place like Pinar de Rocha is about 20 to 30 blocks away from Capital(my guess) and there are cabs waiting for you to take home. If you dont want to spend money ask them drop you off like in Primera Junta and take a bus or subte from there.

    I don't Banfield very well and have been there like 5 times but the area that is close to the centre is really nice and comparable to places like San Isidro.
