Where to go in Buenos Aires



Learning to Dance Tango in Buenos Aires: Salones de baile, as tango salons are called, blanket the city; the most famous are in San Telmo. In these salons you can watch traditional Argentine tango danced by all generations, and most offer lessons before the floor opens up to dancers. You won't find many novices on the dance floor after midnight, however.
Visiting the Recoleta Cemetery: The beautiful cemetery in Buenos Aires houses expensive mausoleums competing for grandeur--a place where people can remain rich, even after death. Among the only non-aristocrats buried here is Eva Perón, or “Evita.” Some of Argentina's upper class still believe she has no right to be here.

Wandering Caminito Street in La Boca: Capture the flavor of early Buenos Aires on this short historic street, which is also considered an outdoor museum. The Caminito is famous for the brightly colored sheet-metal houses that border it and for the sculptures, paintings, and wall murals you'll find along the street. Performers and dancers are here every day.


Visiting Iguazú Falls: One of the world's most spectacular sights, Iguazú boasts over 275 waterfalls fed by the Iguazú River, which can (and should) be visited from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. In addition to the falls, Iguazú encompasses a marvelous subtropical jungle with extensive flora and fauna.

Sailing Through the Andes Between Chile & Argentina: Why fly or drive when you can sail through the Andes? Two companies work together to provide boat journeys from near Ensenada, Chile, to Bariloche, Argentina, or vice versa. It's a dazzling cruise--but worth the journey only on a clear day. Leaving from Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park in Chile, the cruise takes you across the emerald waters of Lago Todos los Santos, through rugged peaks and rainforest, and eventually to Puerto Blest in Argentina for a sail across Lake Nahuel Huapi and past gorgeous alpine scenery and the Llao Llao Peninsula. The trip can be done in 1 or in 2 days with an overnight at the Hotel Peulla. If Argentina (or Chile) isn't on your itinerary, each company offers a round-trip day ride.
