Buenos Aires Highlights
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
During this half-day driving tour of elegant Buenos Aires, we will have a chance to see beautiful Palermo – a neighbourhood of parks, gardens, mansions and embassies. The charming old city quarter of San Telmo was a river port neighbourhood, where both the high and humble society once lived and was later repopulated by shiploads of European immigrants who moved into the abandoned mansions. These mansions were subdivided into one or two-bedroom dwellings (‘conventillos’) which still exist in San Telmo today.

We’ll see the area’s gracious homes and streets lined with wide, elegant weeping willow trees as we head to the centre of town, where locals enjoy the cafés and outdoor restaurants while observing the charlatans and soap-box politicians.

Iguazu Falls, called Foz do Iguaça in Brazilian, and Cataratas del Iguazu in Spanish, lie on the Argentina-Brazil border and are an Unesco World Natural Heritage Site. During the rainy season of November to March, the rate of flow of water going over the falls may reach 450,000 cubic feet (12,750 cubic metres) per second.
