My Rexby Buenos Aires & Patagonia Maps & Guides

It’s been about 6 months since I first launched my Buenos Aires guide on Rexby.

Since then more than 500 travelers have used the guide – including its interactive map and detailed self-guided walks – to discover Buenos Aires like a local. It has only received stellar 5 star reviews.

Since then I’ve also launched another Rexby guide for Patagonia, slowly building it one destination at a time with the goal of covering Argentina’s Patagonia in its entirety.

But, for some reason, I’ve never taken the time to write a post here on the blog about these guides.

That moment is now. If you’re wondering what is Rexby? Is the the guide worthwhile when I have 200+ free articles on the blog? How do I access it and use the guide? What does it REALLY include?

I’m using this post to really explain what these maps and guides are. There are step by step tutorials, list of what they include, and helpful screenshots. (There is also a helpful discount code at the end, stick around!).

What is Rexby and Why?

Rexby is a platform creators like me can use to create interactive travel guides. These guides are products for sale. Creators set their own prices based on the value of each guide (usually depending on how much information it includes and the destination).

I admit I was hesitant to create a product on a platform like this. Since I founded this blog I have written and published everything on my own website.

But I had been wanting to find a way to create a map of Buenos Aires. I mean, you should see my personal Google map. It is a gold mine of pins that I always add to and reference whenever I explore the city.

Adding pins to a Google map is also the first phase of how I plan my own trips. I find hikes, restaurants, murals, and hidden gems and pin them to a map to get oriented and figure out how I can put together an itinerary.

The founder of Rexby contacted me when I was in the midst of trying to figure out how to offer you all paid access to a map. Creating a map on Google Maps felt clunky and unprofessional.

Rexby’s platform is polished. The map is aesthetically pleasing (admit it, it matters) and it is easy to navigate. I can add all the pins I wanted to add and also include my own photos and my own detailed description on how to visit each pinned location.

I’m obsessed.

Each pin is almost its own mini blog post.

And beyond just the map, I can use these pins to piece together itineraries and walking routes. The user can do this too. For me, it was music to my ears.

I signed up immediately and got to work on my Buenos Aires guide on Rexby.

Since then it has sold over 400 copies and the reviews speak for themselves:

The big question, is it worth spending the $18 (hey, discount code at the end!) when you have almost 200 free travel guides on the blog? 100% yes. It is the perfect compliment. Use my blog posts to learn everything you need to know about Argentina and plan your trip. But remove overwhelm with this guide. Remove the stress of planning every single restaurant or cafe or mural, use the map to fill in those gaps. The guides are also full of detailed itineraries!

Tips for getting the most out of your guide:

  • When you open the guide you’ll see all 330 things to do in a grid view, showcasing the photos of each place. Click map view to see all of these items pinned to the map.
  • Filters: Click filter to see all of the tags I’ve included to categorize the things to do. You can use the apps generic filters like “eat and drink” or “hotel” but I recommend getting more granular with my tags. I’ve tagged my favorite leather shops, empanadas, family friendly sites and playgrounds, ice cream, and more.
  • Heart/Favorite Things to do: As you explore the guide, you can heart things to favorite them. When you’re in the “thing to do” you’ll see the heart just under the photos by the name. Mark specific places and tours you don’t want to forget!
  • See things to do nearby: When you’re here exploring, don’t forget to reference the app and see things to do nearby to make sure you don’t miss anything like the best medialuna of your life, a hidden Messi mural, or quirky monuments.
  • If you feel stressed out trying to plan every single meal and shop in advance, take it easy. Explore the city and when you’re hungry, check the map. I promise I’ll have a great recommendation nearby.
