Day 1: Buenos Aires, Argentina
see details >

Arrival Airport: Ministro Pistarini International Airport, Ezeiza (EZE)

Welcome to Argentina! Described as the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires is a beautiful city that proudly embraces its nickname and shows off plenty of its own culture! Explore traditional European architecture (cobbled streets lined with rustic outdoor cafes), local antique and artisanal markets that offer plenty of bargain shopping, and the mouthwatering aroma of prized Argentine beef sizzling on an open “parrilla” (barbeque) in the air. But above all, Buenos Aires is known as the home of tango. Be sure to enjoy a traditional dinner-tango show, and explore the colorful San Telmo and Recoleta neighborhoods.

After you've arrived and settled in at the guesthouse, you will have the rest of the day to enjoy this vibrant city.
