Buenos Aires
Located by the Rio de la Plata, the widest estuary in the world, Buenos Aires is the capital of the tango and the football, of the gaucho and the “asado”. It offers its visitors numerous alternatives to spend nice and happy moments. In the city that never sleeps, there is time and space for everyone.

To catch its spirit it is necessary to walk along the streets in the downtown, to see its elegant shop widows, to take a coffee in a sidewalk cafe or to visit the residential neighborhoods, where the old buildings alternate with the most modern constructions. This is a city with plenty typical restaurants of all the regions of the country as well as with excellent international cuisine.

Here, the Plaza de Armas was established, surrounded by the main buildings of the city: the Cabildo
