The

(Buenos Aires natives), we will make sure you experience

passion and love and intrigue – including the secrets
and surprises that most tourists do not see. We look forward
to sharing with you the wonders of our city.
The
Pulse of the City
Tango, Evita, beef, soccer... make you think immediately of
Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina, but there is
much more to it than that!!!
A
world-class Opera House, open-air markets and fairs,
hectic night life, street cafes, friendly people, historical
and strikingly modern buildings, French-style avenues
and parks, trendy neighborhoods, 19th and early 20th
century buildings refurbished into ultra-new establishments
and shopping centers, street crafts, an intense artistic
and cultural life... just some examples of what’s
waiting for you at this cosmopolitan and bohemian city.
Buenos Aires is one of the largest cities in the world.
It covers an area of 77.20 sq. miles, (200 km2), twice that
of Paris. More than 11 million people live in its metropolitan
area, and its surroundings. It’s a city with plenty
of traditions and historic spots, yet it manages to include
a dynamic, urban atmosphere that accounts for its unique
style.
Having been developed by immigrants from different cultures
and countries (mainly European ones), the city’s layout
and architecture reflect that European style which, when
mingled with local flair and passion, turn this into an
unforgettable city.
