Buenos Aires was founded more than 400 years ago, sprawling over the flat, empty pampas, on the shores of the Río de la Plata.

Buenos Aires was founded more than 400 years ago, sprawling over the flat, empty pampas, on the shores of the Río de la Plata. The city was virtually re-created at the end of the 19th century when the beef boom of the 1880s brought immense wealth and the city's Hispanic colonial buildings were levelled and replaced in the image of Paris, hence the title "the Paris of South America". What was once the cultural Mecca of the Americas soon went into decline and this sense of faded grandeur makes it a fascinating place to wander around. It is a place to 'lose' oneself and soak up the ambience of a city that seems to exist in a world all of its own.
Best experiences
Cruise down the Paraná Delta
For a break from the city, head out to the town of Tigre on the Paraná River Delta. Here you can relax in an hour’s boat tour through the dense network of isles, rivers and channels surrounded by lush vegetation that used to be home to jaguars, hence its name.
Tour lively Buenos Aires
Be guided through the capital's highlights including the colourful former port neighbourhood, La Boca; the emblematic president's office, Casa Rosada, where you can picture Eva Peron delivering her last speech; and the Recoleta Cemetery where she is buried.
Dine at an evening tango show
Nothing is more synonymous with Argentina than tango, good food and quality wine, so where better to experience all three than the lively capital. Enjoy an evening dinner and drinks over a sultry tango performance and live music evoking feelings of passion.OUR FAVOURITE PLACES TO STAY
