  • Destination Report
    Miami , Flori daBuenos Aires, Argentina Overview Introduction Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a wonderful combination of sleek skyscrapers and past grandeur, a collision of the ultrachic and tumbledown. Still, there has always been an undercurrent of melancholy in B.A. (as it is affectionately known by expats who call Buenos Aires home), which may help explain residents' devotion to that bittersweet expression of popular culture in Argentina, the tango. Still performed—albeit much less frequently now—in the streets and cafes, the tango has a romantic and nostalgic nature that is emblematic of Buenos Aires itself. Travel to Buenos Aires is popular, especially with stops in the neighborhoods of San Telmo, Palermo— and each of its colorful smaller divisions—and the array of plazas that help make up Buenos Aires tours. Highlights Sights—Inspect the art-nouveau and art-deco architecture along Avenida de Mayo; see the "glorious dead" in the Cementerio de la Recoleta and the gorgeously chic at bars and cafes in the same neighborhood; shop for antiques and see the tango dancers at Plaza Dorrego and the San Telmo Street Fair on Sunday; tour the old port district of La Boca and the colorful houses along its Caminito street; cheer at a soccer match between hometown rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate (for the very adventurous only). Museums—Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA: Coleccion Costantini); Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes; Museo Municipal de Arte Hispano-Americano Isaac Fernandez Blanco; Museo Historico Nacional; Museo de la Pasion Boquense (Boca football); one of two tango museums: Museo Casa Carlos Gardel or Museo Mundial del Tango.

    BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA uenos Aires is like a love Bthat one can never forget… From the tango music echoing down the cobblestone streets of San Telmo to the delicious smells and tastes of Argentine beef asados and Malbec wines, there is something undeniably seductive about Buenos Aires. Located on the Río de la Plata on the South American east coast of Argentina, Buenos Aires is the country’s largest metropolitan area with over thirteen million porteños (people of the port). The port’s history is HISTORY marked by an influx of millions of immigrants during Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges once wrote, “I find it hard to believe the 19th and 20th centuries, making Buenos Aires a Buenos Aires ever had a beginning”.

  • Guía Comentada De Buenos Aires
    GUÍA COMENTADA DE BUENOS AIRES Grafitti porteño – Bernardo de Yrigoyen y Avenida de Mayo∗ ∗ Las fotografías que aparecen en esta guía son propiedad de los autores y no pueden reproducirse sin autorización previa. Para comenzar Antes de comenzar, queremos decir que esta guía en realidad no es una verdadera guía. Si se supone que una guía debe ser metódica y, hasta cierto punto, objetiva, definitivamente estamos en otra categoría. Si hay algo que caracteriza a nuestra guía es, justamente, que no fue escrita pensando en ninguna clasificación de temas, ni nada que se le parezca. Al contrario, este texto fue escrito de forma totalmente anárquica y a lo largo de algunos años. Lo único que hicimos, finalmente, fue tratar de ordenarla un poco para que el viajero pueda aprovechar mejor nuestras orientaciones y sugerencias. Todo empezó cuando una amiga carioca que iba a viajar a Buenos Aires nos pidió que le escribiéramos alguna información sobre nuestra ciudad. Después vinieron otros amigos brasileños, y lo que inicialmente era una hoja se transformó en una serie de impresiones, comentarios de lugares, cosas que nos gustan de nuestra ciudad, los lugares que extrañamos y que, año tras año, volvemos a visitar y redescubrir. Por supuesto, en los más de diez años que llevamos viviendo en Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires cambió, y mucho. Por eso, fuimos actualizando la información en cada una de nuestras visitas frecuentes. Entonces, basta de palabras introductorias y vamos a lo que interesa, nuestro roteiro subjetivísimo para conocer Buenos Aires con ojos de porteño, pero sin olvidarnos de las cosas que les gustan a los brasileños.

Notable highlights will include the Main Square, the colonial town-hall, the financial district (Buenos Aires’ answer to Wall Street), Plaza de Mayo and its neo- classical Cathedral, the ’Casa Rosada’ ("Pink House”) Presidential Palace, plus numerous Neoclassical jewels along the Avenida de Mayo. The artist Nicola Costantino will receive us for a unique lunch at her studio. Nicola is an internationally renowned artist who has exhibited in leading museums. Her work about Eva Perón was shown at the Venice Biennale in 2013. Visit the studio of Leandro Erlich. Erlich is an internationally exhibited Argentine conceptual artist.
