Buenos Aires, Argentina

Welcome to Buenos Aires, where you'll have an overnight hotel stay. Perhaps spend some time in the city, nicknamed the 'Paris of South America'.

Highlights include La Boca, a colorful, creative mecca with a must-do art walk, and San Telmo, a former aristocratic neighborhood that was abandoned during a 19th-century epidemic. Mansions were turned into conventillos (shared housing), boutique hotels, antique shops, and tango clubs, exuding a captivating bohemian vibe. ...
