Because of its great diversity and monumental size, Buenos Aires presents travelers with the spirit of Argentina. The national dance, the tango, is perhaps the best expression of that spirit practiced in dance halls, parks, open plazas, and ballrooms, an intimate dance combining elegance and an exuberant passion.
