The gaucho is a fixture of Argentine folklore, romanticized by South American writers towards the end of the 19th century and into modernity. Resembling the American cowboy, gauchos were nomadic horsemen of great skill and greater bravery, reputed to be adept cattle-drivers and highly resistant to authority. Due to Argentina’s status as a developing country at the time, gauchos’ ways and exploits were quickly mythologized, with hard facts often becoming lost beneath legend. One such gaucho, today venerated largely in the provinces of Corrientes, Chaco, and northern Santa Fe, was the outlaw commonly known as Gauchito Gil.

Originating in the working-class districts of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, Uruguay, tango came to be as a result of cultural mixing between European immigrants and former African slaves as early as the late 18th century. Gaining prominence throughout the 1800s, tango finally broke onto the international stage in the 20th century, becoming applauded and reviled in equal measure throughout the Western world for its sexual overtones. Tango has since endured the ebb and flow of political turmoil and artistic taste around the world, splintering and spiraling into countless inspirations and subgenres in its venerable history.

Travel + Leisure Magazine just released their World’s Best Awards, and Argentina placed - twice! Yes, Buenos Aires and Mendoza made the esteemed publication’s ranking for Favorite Cities of Central and South America. Buenos Aires, the proverbial “Paris of South America”, was noted for its rich architectural variety, including such buildings as the Palace of Justice and the National College of Buenos Aires, and for historic street corners and eateries serving generations of notable Argentines. Mendoza, on the other hand, houses the nation’s world-renowned wine country, a lovely urban center, and breathtaking mountain scenery from every angle.

La Boca is a barrio located near the Port of Buenos Aires, a cultural melting pot built by the arrival of immigrants to the New World throughout the 20th century. It is characterized by its population’s fighting workers’ spirit, known as la garra, and is home to Boca Juniors FC and its stadium, popularly known as La Bombonera (“the bonbon box”). La Boca is also home to Caminito (“the little path”), a street museum known for its brightly painted houses and inspiration of the tango of the same name by Juan de Dios Filiberto.

The neighborhood of San Telmo, Buenos Aires, is known throughout the country as a center for handmade crafts, antiques, and cultural events. Every Sunday since 1970, the San Telmo Fair’s 270 stands offer their wares to aficionados and tourists alike.
However, one permanent resident of San Telmo has been offering their services for far longer than fifty years –– try 273.
Juan Carlos Pallarols is the latest member of the esteemed Pallarols family to offer silversmithing services to all citizens of Buenos Aires. His family first moved their business to Argentina from Spain in 1804, and ever since, they have outfitted families, religious institutions, fine art enthusiasts, and even Pope Francis with fine handcrafted works of silver. The Pallarols shop is a staple of the San Telmo neighborhood, and serves a dual purpose as a workshop and a museum of the family’s history and works.
Visit the San Telmo neighborhood today, and possibly commission the finest worksmith in the Land of La Plata, when you visit www.tangopolitan.com.

In Argentina, the unofficial religion of all people is soccer.
Individuals, families, even entire neighborhoods carry their team’s colors as a badge of honor, no matter how strong or weak their season. Visiting one’s stadium on game day is akin to a pilgrimage, a holy experience in which electricity flows from moment to moment, from player to fan and back.
Experience the unleashed energy of Argentinean soccer at La Bombonera (Boca Juniors’ home stadium) or El Monumental (River Plate’s home stadium) today, either with the beloved sports fan(s) in your life, or on a solo journey to find your own sports glory. Visit www.tangopolitan.com today, and let’s chat about how we can tailor Buenos Aires to you.

We spent three months in Buenos Aires this year, mostly because ice cream in Argentina is extraordinary and decadent.
My favorite is of course, DULCE DE LECHE and its many variations: with pieces of chocolate, with Oreos, with white chocolate pieces, or mixed with meringue. Second place is for CHOCOLATE, of which exists an entire spectrum: bitter, white, with cashews, almonds, raisins, mixed with fruits like orange, raspberry, figs, or with spirits like rum, Cointreau, cassis liqueur, or in mousse or souffle… and other global variants.

The market conserves its original internal structure of beams, arches and metal columns, its sheet metal and glass roofing, and a grand dome in the centre. At the market you can find from antiques to fresh fruit and spices and the Coffee Town stall offers a wide range of coffees from different origins and is tended by expert baristas who can recommend a blend for every taste. The experience is so unlike going to the supermarket in other urban areas, the stall attendants still help each customer individually and handpick each fruit or vegetable piece specially following your requests. You must NOT touch the produce on your own :) Eggs and meat are still hand packaged by the stall attendant (many times owners) and wrapped in newspaper sheets.

Discovering the origins of the city Some historians point to El Zanjón de Granados ravines as the site of the first settlement of Buenos Aires in 1536. The remains of the city were never found, but we have been left with the testimony of Ulrich Schmidl, the first historian of the River Plate and fellow-traveler of the founder Don Pedro de Mendoza. A section of the old Zanjón was found under this historical XIX century building which extended over the whole length of the square. Other sections of the Zanjón were unearthed including ruins of foundations, old walls, floors, water wells, sewage pits, which were built and destroyed between 1730 and 1865. According to the Buenos Aires Heritage Guide edited by the city council, this site represents the most important archaeological project in the city of Buenos Aires. The residence, originally a mansion, had turned into a tenement house by the early 20th century. By 1985 it had been abandoned and walled off, with its ground floor four meters deep in debris. Now that restoration is complete, elegant new steel and glass elevators transport visitors to and from the illuminated depths of El Zanjón. Join me for a private tour displaying artifacts and images of life in Buenos Aires over the centuries.

CASA CAVIA Buenos Aires Delight the mind and senses Casa Cavia was once and will always be, above all else, a house. Built in 1927 by Norwegian artist and architect Alejandro Christophersen, a luminary of eclectic architecture, Casa Cavia was carefully restored and transformed into what it is today: a return to the delights of the Belle Epoque in Buenos Aires, in constant conversation with contemporary sensibilities. This is a house that brings us to together, passionate about both our past and our present. A house that celebrates the art forms that it comprises: architecture, books, food and flowers. Lupe García, creative director, has sought out the finest Argentine talent and turned them into Casa Cavia’s gracious hosts: Ana Mosqueda (editor-in-chief of Ampersand publishing house), Julieta Caruso (head chef of the La Cocina crew) Camila Gassiebayle (director of Blumm Flower Co.) and Stephania Kallos ( architect-in-charge of the original restoration of the house). Five women bringing together the worlds of food, books, flowers and design. A true meeting place, as we understand it, is a spot where creativity is cultivated. A place to set aside one’s daily routines in favor of pleasure and contemplation.

A Gift for Evita Open till 8/26 This exhibition revolves around gifts given by the Government of Spain to Eva Duarte de Perón in June 1947. It explores the role of the First Lady as well as the artistic value of this collection set against an international political context in which an isolated and impoverished Spain received support from Argentina. The selection of costumes given to Evita represented each of Spain's provinces through dresses, hats, shoes, jewelry and accessories. Who was Eva Peron: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Per%C3%B3n

Hi, I’m Vivi, and I help adventurous souls experience Buenos Aires from the perspective of a local.

My whole life has been an adventure.

When I was 25, and halfway through college, in Buenos Aires, I met a guy called Rony.

In 8 days he asked me to move in with him. I left everything - school, work, my family and my friends in Buenos Aires and moved to join him and his two children (aged 6 and 10) in Minnesota, USA

I did not speak a word of English but within a few years I became a Spanish Court interpreter and had assimilated to my new culture and life.

During that time I traveled around the world and I was delighted with Israel, so we moved there, for four years. I learned Hebrew, the place, the culture and the people. I hid inside bomb shelters during the war in Gaza. I ran daily in the desert, among foxes, camels and other beasts. I am a textile artist, while in Israel, I drove alone from Haifa to Jerusalem to sell my hand painted silk scarves..

I did not visit my home town Buenos Aires very often, I was too excited living my life. But after a few years I felt the pull to go back. When I did, I was taken aback by the beauty, the passion and the vibrancy of a city that I once knew in a completely different way. The way you do not look at things when they become familiar. Since then I have traveled to Buenos Aires regularly and I felt a huge need to share my city with others.

In 2016, I gathered a group of five women and took them to Buenos Aires for 10 days. We shared amazing food, lots of Tango, wildlife experiences, massages, night life, milongas (where locals dance tango), had meals with my local friends and family, went to the opera, visited different neighborhoods and many other really extraordinary things.

I did the same thing a few more times with others including people that came with me out of word of mouth.

All my guests shared with me how this trip impacted their lives deeply.

And now this is what I do.

Using my connections in Buenos Aires with friends and professional travel experts I plan exquisite experiences for my guests. My design and planning does not involve typical travel venues or packaged activities. I am not a travel agent, I am a lover of people and of my hometown.

I love sharing my home country with others. In my experience, my guests, during our trips together, experience a deep understanding of the culture and its people. They go through a beautiful awakening of their appreciation for people, their passion and self expression. Seeing this transformation in others is my greatest joy.

To me taking people to Buenos Aires is like when you give a gift to someone you love. You wait till they open it, and you see the joy in their faces. I feel that same kind of joy when my guests discover Buenos Aires!
