Buenos Aires is the capital of the Republic of Argentina and the country's largest city. Located in front of the Río de La Plata, it is a modern, dynamic and vibrant city that features the European architecture of its founders and absorbs the passion of its people,
the "Porteños" (people of the port).
Considered "The Pearl" of South America, Buenos Aires has an intense cultural life where tango, long coffee klatches and football (soccer) are essential elements in its people daily lives.
 Buenos Aires' heart boasts bustling streets, grand avenues, old-time cafes and stylish restaurants. The locals are renowned for their flair and cockiness, even in times of adversity. It's a city of tragedy and elation; a cosmopolitan capital.
Wander cobbled streets, marvelling at faded architectural glories and colourfully painted metal houses. The city of Buenos Aires is broken up into little barrios, or neighborhoods, each one with its own personality.
The beautiful and prestigious Recoleta, trendy Palermo, commerce-minded El Centro, timeless San Telmo, picturesque Puerto Madero, and colorful La Boca all contribute to the Buenos Aires' culture and way of life.

Argentina is, of course, famous for its steaks and other grilled meats. The parrilla stems from the Incan barbacoa. Argentine beef is lower in fat and cholesterol and has a special flavor since the cattle walk around and feed naturally on the range. |
