Buenos Aires contains the majority of all Argentine attractions. The sophistication of the architecture is comparable only to Paris. But the city is unique in its beauty. Buenos Aires is widely known for its many museums, and art lovers will find a wide variety of museums, galleries, theaters and architectural monuments in this city. The main attractions of the city include the old district of La Boca, the historical zone of the San Telmo district, where you can find a large number of large and small bars, restaurants, as well as a real antiques market in Plaza Dorrego. The real heart of Buenos Aires is the central Plaza de Mayo - the largest shopping center in the world. Also, the main attractions of the city include the “Pink House” (Cassa Rosada presidential palace), which is associated with the name of Evita Peron, and many other monumental monuments. Among them is the symbol of the city - a 67-meter obelisk erected in honor of the declaration of independence of the state of Argentina, standing on the widest street in the world, Avenue 9 of July.

Tango is very popular all over the world. But Argentina has one undeniable advantage - it was here that the amazing world of tango appeared... Dance on stage with its passion and virtuosity takes you into the world of love and graceful performance. Tane This dance originated in the ports of the city among poor immigrants, gaucho shepherds and other unsettled people. The dance was performed by two men rather cheekily and got its name from the Latin “tangere” - to touch. Over time, Tango became slower and acquired new tones of intimacy. Tango orchestras appeared. The dance was rapidly gaining popularity, and now Tango is one of the most sensual dances on earth, it teaches sincerity, makes men remember gallantry, women remember tenderness. The restaurant's interior creates a tango atmosphere, and the menu of several traditional dishes with excellent Argentinean wines will complement this romantic evening.

A fascinating tour to the Perito Moreno glacier, which is considered one of the most “easily accessible” in the world and which has been recognized by UNESCO as a natural heritage of humanity. With an English-speaking guide, Perito Moreno is a huge mass the size of a twenty-five story building, covered with a 60-meter layer of moving ice. The glacier can be observed from numerous observation platforms located nearby on the shore. Sometimes it becomes difficult to understand where the horizon line lies between the ice sheet and the sky. Approximately every 4 years, the Perito Moreno glacier blocks the strait between the two lakes Argentino and Rico, blocking the flow of water from one reservoir to another. In turn, the melt water accumulated in Lake Rico creates great pressure on the ice, as a result of which the ice dam fails and forms a tunnel in the ice. Within two or three days, the tunnel is washed away and the huge arch collapses into the water with a great roar. This phenomenon is one of the most interesting spectacles in the world. We recommend taking a lunch box. There will also be an opportunity to have lunch at the park restaurant. It is possible to order ice trekking, trekking in special shoes on the glacier!
