Argentina - 6N/7D
Day 01-Buenos Aires, Argentina
Today after clearing customs & immigration formalities at Buenos Aires Airport, you will be met and transferred privately to your hotel for check-in. Buenos Aires continues to be a wonderful combination of sleek skyscrapers, ornate friezes and turn-of-the-last-century grandeur - at once ultrachic and tumbledown, up-to-date and firmly planted in the past. Even before the recent financial troubles, there was always a spirit of malaise in B.A., as it is affectionately known locally, which may help explain the devotion to that bittersweet expression of Argentine popular culture, the tango. Performed in the streets, on stages, in cafes, the sorrowful and romantic nature of the dance is integral to the city. Urban, avant-garde and cosmopolitan, the Vista Sol Hotel is living evidence of what the Argentine capital has always been like. The hotel is strategically located in the center of Buenos Aires, near the major tourist attractions and, through its concept, is an attraction in it's own right.
