Buenos Aires
The great city of Buenos Aires was founded in 1580 on the shores of the Rio de la Plata and today it is one of the continent's largest and most sophisticated cities. If you combine your Argentina holiday with a visit to Buenos Aires there are many things to enthuse. Its people are lively and friendly and the city is dotted with beautiful parks, race tracks, rose gardens, golf courses, night clubs and theatres. Shopping is an enticing experience along Florida Street, around the San Martin Plaza or in San Telmo where antiques are a speciality. The Italian Boca district, Palermo Parks, Recoleta Cemetery and the waterway of the Parana River are all attractions that give Buenos Aires a character all of its own. Savour the fantastic beef and delicious local wines while listening to the sensuous tango drift through the evening air. To experience the life of a Guacho visit The Pampas, situated south of Buenos Aires. Home to enormous cattle ranches and elite polo schools, The Pampas provide opportunity to ride, play polo, enjoy a round of golf or just relax and appreciate the traditional lifestyles of these beautiful estancias.
