Viernes Cultural en Casa Iberá
While the free guided tours of Casa Iberá (M-Sa 07:00-13:00 and 17:00-21:00) are best suited for school groups, the Cultural Fridays are a great way to witness (and sometimes taste) at bit of the region's culture. Follow their Facebook page for the latest schedule. Admittance is free, the free tickets are handed away on the days preceding the event, but if you're a far-flung visitor, they might be willing to accommodate you.
A regionally delicacy, this type of chipá (manioc cheese bread) is roasted in a way that gives it a tube form. The vendor will take it out of the fire only when you buy it, so they are always served hot. Great on cold days.
A local's favorite, this bakery offers many sorts of chipa (manioc cheese bread) and facturas (Argentine pastries)
By bus
Corrientes bus station is a fairly pleasant, modern building. There are SUBE (the city transit card) top-up booths near the main entrance, and the city bus stop is a few meters away.
City buses fares are paid only with SUBE cards - the very same in use in Buenos Aires and other cities. Cards can be topped up in kiosks, at the bus station and on Terminales SUBE .
