Buenos Aires - Birthplace of the Tango

As Argentina's capital and largest city, Buenos Aires is a modern and dynamic center featuring the European architecture of its founders and the passion of its people; the Porteños (people of the Port). Considered "The Pearl" of South America, Buenos Aires has an intense cultural life where tango, long coffee klatches and football are essential elements of daily life. 

Also called the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires is a large, complex, energetic, port city. 

Nearly half the population of Argentina resides in this enormous capital city, whose tree-lined streets and large squares retain an air of faded French elegance. An unmissable location to discover the South-American spirit.

Porteños number more than 13 million and have a rich and diversified cultural identity. The lifestyle and architecture are more European than any other city in the Americas.

Visit La Boca with its brilliantly colored houses and restaurants and Puerto Madero which is a collection of converted warehouses along the Rio Plata, now fashionable restaurants and shops. The fashionable districts of San Telmo and Recoleta  are perfect for a pre-dinner stroll and you will get a good feel of what Argentina is all about.
