Buenos Aires is the large, world-class capital of Argentina, and the birthplace of the tango. Head to the Plaza de Mayo to view beautifully crafted 19th-century buildings including Casa Rosada, the presidential palace. Have kids, or just a curious mind? The Museo Participativo De Ciencias is an interactive science museum in Buenos Aires that begs participants to touch the exhibits.

Buenos Aires is also the mecca for food, nightlife, and shopping in Latin America. The festive Feria de Mataderos offers a chance to learn about Argentina’s traditional culture — while shopping, dining, and enjoying life folk music and professional dancers.

The Delta de Tigre is a fun day trip, which offers lots of watersports fun, like kayaking and canoeing. You can also ride horses, watch birds or enjoy a stroll. Museo de Arte Tigre and the Parque de la Costa amusement park are also nearby.
