DAY 2 Buenos Aires

City Tour: Buenos Aires' physical structure is a mosaic as varied and diverse as its culture. The city is composed of many small places, intimate details, and tiny events and interactions, each with a slightly different shade, shape, and character. Glass-sheathed skyscrapers cast their slender shadows on 19th century Victorian houses; tango bars hazed with the piquant tang of cigar smoke face dusty, treasure-filled antique shops across the way. The city's neighborhoods are small and highly individualized, each with its own characteristic colors and forms. During our tour you will visit all the main avenues and plazas, the famous Colon Theater, the Pink House, the colorful Boca and San Telmo Districts, and the Recoleta Cemetery, where Evita is buried.
