Abercrombie & Kent: Tailor Made Argentina: Southern Patagonian Peaks & Glaciers
Day 1 BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
Arrive in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, where you are met and privately transferred to your hotel. Settle in, and then join your private guide for a tour of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. Soak in Buenos Aires’ elegant, old-worldly atmosphere — a touch of Paris here and a bit of London there, a dash of New York cosmopolitanism and big splash of Italian exuberance, along with a strong Latin American personality. Start in the Plaza de Mayo, a square dating to 1580 that is the political heart of the city. Continue to La Boca, a colorful, working-class port barrio (neighborhood), and finally to Puerto Madero, the city’s newest district, where red-brick warehouses have been transformed into trendy restaurants and bars. Return to the hotel and enjoy the rest of your day at leisure.
