Buenos Aires

We love this city often called “the Paris of the South”! This cool city is seductive yet sophisticated and really reflects the cultural heart of Argentina. And as a travel company, what makes it even more special for our clients is that it is not a place that breaks your travel budget. It really is very affordable.

The anatomy of the city is quite interesting it boasts being the 8th largest city in the world with over 1500 skyscrapers, wow! Buenos Aires is broken up into 47 neighborhoods known as barrios, each with their own personality. The flavor of the city feels so European as you see acres of parks and wide boulevards towering graceful historic architecture.


The locals refer to themselves as portenos or port people, they are incredibly proud of there city and heritage. I have to say these people are also incredibly sexy they are meticulous in the way they step out on the town. They work hard but play harder and exude a seductive charisma that will not go undetected its just plain obvious!


Must see and do:

The hip shaking young crowd at Cocoliche, an electronic music paradise in an old mansion.


Have some home-made flan at Munich Recoleta.


Hit the flea market for cool antiques and nick knacks


Shop for leather


Hire a bicycle and check out the city parks


Take a Tango lesson in La Boca and see some theatre


Whatever peaks your interest there is many colorful things to do, in this spectacular city!


Great side trips:

Iguazu Falls

Uruguay
