Wild Life

Buenos Aires


If you’re looking to buy outdoor gear or camping equipment, this is the place to do it. Crampons, knives, tents, backpacks, climbing gear, all-weather clothing, skateboards, military garb and even the occasional mule saddle can be found at this somewhat offbeat and musty shop.
