Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is a historic and elegant city and many are surprised to find it has a European feel with its 19th-century buildings and charming neighborhoods. Each of the neighborhoods or ‘barrios’ have different characters so it’s one of those cities where you’ll want to spend a lot of time simply meandering along the tree-lined streets to get a feel for each area. In contrast, Mendoza is a small city with many art deco buildings and small plazas at the foothills of the Andes mountains (in the heart of wine country!). A short, easy flight connects the two cities and makes for a perfect Christmas + New Year’s trip (plus, it’s warm!!)

Buenos Aires, with its vibrant culture, tango music, and delicious cuisine, complements the natural beauty of Iguazu Falls seamlessly. Just like the perfect pairing of Argentine beef and Malbec wine, exploring the bustling city life of Buenos Aires and then immersing yourself in the awe-inspiring wonders of Iguazu Falls creates a well-rounded and unforgettable experience.

Welcome to the Paris of South America. Buenos Aires is alive with rhythm, romance, and irresistible energy. It doesn’t just walk—it dances.

Buenos Aires exudes a captivating character with its passionate tango culture, historic landmarks like the iconic Obelisco and grandiose architecture.

This city showcases a vibrant cultural scene, diverse neighborhoods such as the colorful La Boca or the trendy Palermo; all with an irresistible culinary experience, inviting travellers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Argentine life.
