Its neoclassical architecture, cafe culture, and international vibe give the city a strikingly European feel, earning it the nickname of "the Paris of South America." But Buenos Aires is also decidedly Argentine, with its tango salons, creative clothing boutiques, and culinary focus on local staples such as Pampas grass-fed beef. Whether you're looking for designer fashion, exquisite cuisine, or nightlife that doesn't stop, this vibrant metropolis leaves little room for disappointment. Things to Do - - Wander the purple-blossomed Palermo parks; take in Latin American and European art in the museums lining Avenida del Libertador; and marvel at the grand marble and bronze buildings lining Avenida 9 de Julio, the world's widest boulevard, and Avenida de Mayo, Buenos Aires's answer to Paris's Champs Elysées. Porteños, as the residents of Buenos Aires call themselves, love to be on display, and the city boasts countless outdoor activities -- in parks, at outdoor markets, and on cafe-lined boulevards. Rosario Rosario is the third-largest city in Argentina, birthplace of Che Guevara and Lionel Messi, and home to artists and thousands of students. It’s just a 4-hour bus ride from Buenos Aires to this super livable and chilled out place full of friendly locals, known as Rosarinos, and warm, sunny weather. Located along the Paraná River, the city has lots of green spaces and a few beaches where people love to congregate and socialize. Known for its neoclassical buildings, great food, and fantastic waterfront, here are several things to do in this patriotic city. Parana Nestled on the eastern banks of the mighty Parana River, this bustling port city attracts more traders than travelers. Nevertheless, for tourists determined to get off the gringo trail, Parana offers a fascinating insight into an aspect of Argentine life rarely seen by the international crowd. 816.256.3828 | www.AIST.us | @aistsports 4 Cost Per Person – USD Based on minimum paying and room size Estimated Estimates ground packages starting at: Cost $1600.00 per person Airfare Not Included Triple Room: (3 Beds / 3 people): $ 25 – 29 Double Room: (2 Beds / 2 people):$ People Paying Single Room: (1 Bed / 1 person):$ Triple Room: (3 Beds / 3 people): $ 30 - 35 Double Room: (2 Beds / 2 people):$ People Paying Single Room: (1 Bed / 1 person):$ Cancellation fees will be kept to a minimum.
