Buenos Aires

The capital of Argentina is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in South America. Buenos Aires is very different from other South American capital cities (like Santiago de Chile or Lima). Here, the European influence on buildings, and family composition has been huge. People on the streets bear European mixed body traits with native physiognomy (more similar to Peruvians, or even Argentinians living north of the country). Architecture and culture follow the same schema. A trip to Buenos Aires is a journey to many cultures in one. In Buenos Aires you can visit:

• Historic neighborhoods (Plaza de Mayo, Metropolitan Cathedral and the Cabildo)
• The obelisk and the Av. 9 de julio (the widest in the world).
• Tango dancing halls (called “milongas)
• Famous cemeteries (like the Recoleta)
• The botanical garden
• The craft markets in San Telmo and Palermo
• Tigre and the system of strings forming the “delta”
• La Boca and Caminito, the old immigrant’s neighborhood and port of Buenos Aires.
• Puerto Madero (the new port and the “Manhattan” of Buenos Aires)

Mendoza

Mendoza is the province where most Argentinian wines are produced. Malbec and Cabernet produced in Mendoza are famous around the world.

Rafting in white rapids, horseback riding and ziplining are traditional activities in the province. These are the destinations you can visit in Mendoza:
