Buenos Aires

Capital of Argentina and described as the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires proudly embraces her title, as well as shows off plenty of her own culture! Traditional European flavors abound…cobbled streets are lined with rustic outdoor cafes, local antique and artisanal markets offer plenty of bargain shopping, and the mouthwatering aroma of prized Argentine beef sizzling on an open “parrrilla” (barbeque) wafts through the air.

Buenos Aires is home to some excellent local designers and you will certainly find the perfect leather jacket, long leather boots and handbags for all occasions. Most of all, Buenos Aires is best known for tango. Be sure to enjoy a traditional dinner-tango show and explore the colorful San Telmo and Recoleta neighborhoods. Just beyond the capital, you will also find the “pampas”- home to historic estancias and ranches where you can horse ride with local “gauchos” (cowboys) and spend the night in the luxury of a not-to-distant past.
