An excellent way to get orientated, especially for little legs, is a city bus tour. This elegant city features grand buildings and wide boulevards, with Plaza de Mayo at its historic heart. Stroll around voguish Puerto Madero – transformed from old docklands – savouring an ice cream and admiring the yachts. Around Buenos Aires’ tree-lined streets and numerous parks, kids will adore spotting professional dog walkers being pulled by troupes of assorted four-legged friends! Every visitor should seek out Evita’s grave at the magnificent Recoleta Cemetery and spot other celebrities’ final resting places amongst the grand, whimsical tombs. Arguably the city’s best museum is MALBA (Museo de Arte Latinamericano de Buenos Aires) with its contemporary, bright galleries. Afterwards, dress up for a delectable afternoon tea at the splendid Belle Époque Alvear Palace Hotel. La Boca barrio is famous both for its photogenic, colourful houses and for being home to Boca Juniors football team. Even if not attending a match, a tour of La Bombonera stadium is essential for soccer fans. Argentinians are as passionate about football as they are about tango: don a glitzy outfit to tango at amilongas (dance hall), Confiteria Ideal being an elegant example. If you don’t want to strut your stuff, there are also choreographed professional dance shows. Whilst Buenos Aires beguiles adults, kids will enjoy getting familiar with local wildlife in the zoo or deliberating over favourite ice cream flavours. Shopping in fashionable, leafy Palermo Viejo will please everyone, with its Neo-classical villas, stylish restaurants and a good size kids’ park. A relaxing way to start or end Argentinean adventures is at the southern resort of Mar del Plata, which boasts beaches for family fun and a large, noisy colony of sea lions around the busy port. Breathtaking Iguazu Falls These waterfalls will take your breath away. Located on the border between Argentina and Brazil, the Iguazu Falls consist of a staggering 250 waterfalls thundering down the cliffs into the fast-flowing river far, far below. Known as Cataratas, these are one of the world’s biggest, most dramatic sets of waterfalls, enhanced by their national park, jungle setting. Whilst it can get busy, the Falls are incredibly photogenic and stunning – the setting feels like The Lost World. Hop aboard a little train to the most dramatic waterfall, the Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat), and prepare to get wet from the spray. Critters abound along the scenic jungle trails, and you might spot monkeys, toucans, butterflies and coatis (similar to racoons). You can even visit the Falls’ Brazilian side and take an exhilarating boat ride if your children are slightly older and able to swim. The sleepily charming town of Puerto Iguazu has an interesting riverbank walk .
