What is the Explore the Maps Challenge?
Every week, we will share with you the icons of famous places of any one country. All you have to do is find this icon on Google Maps. When you locate that location, you must submit the location’s name and a link to it in our challenge post.
The fascinating part is that if you’ve ever visited that place, don’t forget to share a photo with us so that our Local Guides friends may see it through your eyes as well.

Do you want to help me? I would love to help make a hint !!! If you want to… please send me 10 hints for our next challenge via private message.
Debido a que este reto tiene como tema central Argentina, mi respuesta será en español @NareshDarji
Creo que ya identifiqué todos los íconos, pero me temo que en el banner uno de ellos esta repetido… Si es asi, quizá quieras cambiar el banner. Para no arruinar la diversión solo compartiré los datos de 3 de esos íconos pero estoy ansioso por ver fotos de nuestros amigos Local Guides que ya hayan visitado presencialmente todos esos lugares.
Estoy muy contenta de participar de #ExploreTheMapsChallenge. Justo empezaron en el lugar donde yo vivo! Por lo que veo se repitió uno de los lugares y solo había que buscar 9. Aquí están las direcciones:
Obelisco: https://goo.gl/maps/4VCawqReinHo7ugVA Uno de los monumentos mas icónicos de esta ciudad. Esta foto la saque a las 7 AM un día que tenia que trabajar de fotógrafa en una maratón.
Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA): https://goo.gl/maps/619BCT4jBQfj6TNA6. Tuve la oportunidad de conocerlo con la muestra de Cindy Sherman y Richard Prince en 2018.
La Torre Monumental: https://goo.gl/maps/NcvnbLvA4frhZnY76 Torre construida por la comunidad británica de la ciudad en 1916 como regalo para conmemorar la independencia.
Centro Cultural Islámico Custodio de las Dos Sagradas Mezquitas Rey Fahd: https://goo.gl/maps/xQsBis6iFk2kHJax5 Lo conocí este año cuando acompañe a mi papá a vacunarse contra el COVID-19.
Museo Histórico Nacional del Cabildo y la Revolución de Mayo:
Excellent trivia!! I am so excited to see that you started with my city… I do not have photos of every place, but I’ve visited all of them several times.
@AdroGran@Jesi@SilvyC I think we would have to host a meetup to take group photos in all this places. What do you think?
This place was very important during the first years of Buenos Aires City. The Cabildo was the place where the May Revolution in 1810 started and it was the first step to the Independence of Argentina 6 years after.
We also had a meet-up there and you can read the recap and find more photos in this link.
The Obelisk, is located in the place where the national flag was raised for the first time in the city. Nowadays it is one of the main meeting points of the “porteños”, regarding political demonstrations or for the different celebrations and soccer achievements.
@NareshDarji@SilvyC I found all of them on the map. It is tricky sometimes, these icons don’t show up always! Any special prize for finding all of them?
I like your answer in Spanish. Don’t worry about the repeated icon, it is not a part of the challenge. It’s just a hint for finding the location. @LightRich I hope you take part in the rest of the challenges as well.
Excellent… @CamilaPardo I’m glad you took part in this challenge and found 9 places. That’s really great.
Thank you very much @KashifMisidia bhai, I hope you will continue to support me and take part in every challenge.
Thanks a lot for taking time and sharing all places and beautiful pictures with us. These pictures really helps to our Local Guides community to see these amazing places through your eyes. Thanks for sharing these pictures.
Yes. Initially I was also looking at the icons. The icon on the map is surely of Casa Rosada, but I couldn’t find any reference to it from the clues mentioned. @jayasimha78
@PrateekAgarwal@NareshDarji Based on my pattern matching skills (which is not that great), there is a duplicated ICON I think! Not sure if this a trick Naresh is making us fall in to
