If you like dead cow and wine (primarily Malbec), come to COW DO!
The Buquebus Francisco catamaran is relatively new; 2013. It's very different from the ships that go to Colonia. Here's an article about it:
Meet Francisco: The fastest ferry on the planet with jet engines that propel over 1000 passengers and 150 cars at 67 MPH Daily Mail Online
The article is titled:
"The Concorde of the seas: The fastest ferry on the planet with jet engines that propel over 1000 passengers and 150 cars at 67 MPH"
It just looks like a very cool thing to do. I might take the ferry over, and Aerolineas Argentinas back the same evening, just to get back to Buenos Aires a little early. I'm not too sure how much there is to do in MVD, but, I'm sure I can keep busy shopping and eating, etc, for 7 or 8 hours.
That said, I have heard something about a
COW DO, but, I don't remember much else about it. If it's in BUE, I doubt I'll be able to go again. My trip is there from Mar 23-30. I do know that their beef is supposed to be special, somehow, and I've heard about Malbec.
