Buenos Aires

Spend some time with our local expert on this panoramic introduction to Buenos Aires.

The Obelisk. This giant monument was built in 1936 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city. One of the city’s unique features is the many beautiful open squares of colonial Spanish descent. You’ll fall in love with Plaza de Mayo, Plaza San Martín, or Plaza Congreso. The avenues can be equally impressive sights including favorites like Corrientes, Mayo and 9 de Julio.

The financial and commercial areas of Buenos Aires are home to many impressive sights and you can’t miss the home of the Argentinean’s favourite pastime, the numerous massive soccer stadiums throughout the city. Buenos Aires is home to a lively multi-cultural blend of generations-old families of a heavily European-South American blend and we will travel through their neighborhoods to give you a feel for the city and the people who call it home. Discover the unique architecture in historic neighbourhoods like La Boca, San Telmo and Montserrat. We will also have the opportunity to explore the Ecological Reserve.

Enjoy the finer things in life in elegant neighbourhoods like Palermo, where we will have some time to explore “Palermo Soho” and “Palermo Hollywood”. We will then move on to Recoleta, home to the famed cemetery. Between neighbourhoods, you’ll enjoy the beauty of nature interspersed at places like Lezama Park and Tres de Febrero Park.
