Buenos Aires is a wonderful place as your base of operations to explore South America. This is a vibrant, modern, sophisticated city with all facilities. Accommodation of every kind is available. There are beautiful luxury apartments and luxury hotels to suit comfort lovers, where you will be pampered and you will be able to relax and recover your strength and stamina in between your explorations and adventures.
Once you have chosen your accommodation and settled in, you will find that there are many short, guided tours to introduce you to the city and its environments. Or you can explore it in a leisurely way on your own. Buenos Aires is often called the Paris of South America. This is because of its wide boulevards, sidewalk cafes and gardens reminiscent of those in France. The architecture is a combination of colonial Spanish and colonial French, side by side with buildings that are energetically modern. It has an excitingly European flavour with a distinctly South American vitality. The city alone will take a lot of sightseeing, to really appreciate it.
Then there are day trips, as well as trips lasting two or more days, to show you the charms of spectacular Argentina. In addition, you will find many exciting package tours venturing out into the rest of South America.
Some of the day trips not to be missed are:
* The ferry trip across the Rio de la Plata to Colonia del Sacramento, a charming little Portuguese historical town, the oldest in Uruguay.
* The Tigre and Parana River Delta. This is a short trip to the northern part of Buenos Aires. Your best bet is to take the coastal train, so as not to miss the beautiful scenery. The Delta is a mass of waterways and canals, with ferries and boat trips available, as well as some really interesting islands.
* A two hour bus trip from Buenos Aires is the town of San Antonio de Areco. If you visit this town you will step back into Argentina’s past. There is a strong frontier gaucho culture, and old world simple charm. The old buildings, traditional food and handcrafts, make this a worthwhile visit.
If you are ready to travel out for a few days’ sightseeing, you should try and see these attractions, which are just a few among many:
* Iguazu Waterfalls. A spectacular sight, and one of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls. In fact, some who have seen all the great ones declare this to be the best. The series of cascades border the countries of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil.
* Bariloche is a town in a postcard picture perfect part of Argentina. Its beauty consists of lake scenery with soaring mountains and pine forests. In summer it is a draw card for outdoor nature lovers, with adventure sports, hiking, cycling, horse riding and scenic drives. In winter it is transformed into a winter sports paradise.
* Mendoza is the way to a wine lover’s heart. Its cuisine is also very special. It famous vineyards are situated close to the Andes Mountains, and this is the place to come if you are a gourmet or a connoisseur of fine wines. You will also enjoy the beautiful scenery.
