Buenos Aires surprises its visitors with its contrasts - a mixture of different styles that set it apart from other big cities: elegant, eclectic & cultural.
Welcome to Buenos Aires. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted at Ezeiza international airport and transferred to your hotel. After settling in, we’ll embark on a tour around the city – it’ll be an unforgettable route in which we’ll experience the porteño magic featuring all the highlights Argentina’s capital city has to offer. We’ll visit the glamorous neighborhoods of Recoleta with its famous cemetery, Palermo, followed by May Square and the Pink House, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the new and trendy Puerto Madero area and many other emblematic building and palaces of unique architectural, historical and cultural value. Of course, the tour wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the first settlements of the city – the picturesque neighborhood of San Telmo, home to the porteño aristocracy until the XIX century and where a famous antiques market is held every Sunday, and Caminito Street, in La Boca, a colorful neighborhood of Italian immigrants.

Day at the Pampas
After breakfast at your hotel you’ll be picked up and we’ll head towards de humid pampa, home to the Argentinian gaucho and one of the most fertile natural prairies in the world, famed for its production of beef and cereals. Located only a few kilometers from Buenos Aires city, the pampas are set in a natural environment with beautiful surrounding landscapes. There we’ll be treated to a typical Argentinian asado, empanadas, and a selection of the outstanding national wines. The wild smell of the countryside will invite us to break away from routine and discover a charming hundred-year-old rural tradition in the midst of the XXI century. We’ll enjoy folk songs and dances, equestrian activities, and unbeatable shows of traditional gaucho skills, such as ring races, cuadreras (horse races), entrevero de tropillas (horse games). Let’s discover the traditional lifestyle of Argentinian ranches through the gaucho, the greatest symbol of these lands.
After our day at the pampas, we’ll return to the city and set out to enjoy the night. Famed for its active nightlife, Buenos Aires offers countless gastronomic and artistic options.
During dinner, we will enjoy a show of the typical music of the "Reina del Plata", cradle of the authentic Argentine tango and land of the incomparable Carlos Gardel. We will immerse ourselves in the fine River Plate art through the dancers and orchestras that recreate the melancholic cadences of the 40s, an unforgettable show that goes hand in hand with a delicious typical meal, watered with excellent wines and in an atmosphere full of magic.

Today we’ll explore the beautiful and interesting Tigre Delta. Located only 30 km north of Buenos Aires, the city of Tigre is the gateway to the exotic delta of the Paraná river, a vast stretch of subtropical forest which holds thousands of small islets. This delta is unique, as it flows into another river instead of flowing into the ocean.
After traveling along the La Plata river we’ll arrive to San Isidro, where we’ll have some time to visit the magnificent Neo-Gothic Cathedral, built in the XIX century. From there we’ll continue to the Tigre Pier and board one of the typical local boats which will take us on a fascinating journey around the islands, enjoying nature at every corner.
After the tour we’ll head back to the city, where you’ll have the afternoon free to enjoy Buenos Aires as you wish.
