Buenos Aires
| Buenos Aires, La Reina del Plata…This is how a popular Argentinean song starts, meaning “Buenos Aires, Queen of the Plata River…”Porteños – that is what Argentineans call the natives of Buenos Aires, their capital city – take great pride in what they believe is the most European city in South America. Buenos Aires shows a mixture of modern skyscrapers and classic French and Spanish architecture. Standing at some neighborhoods you could swear you were looking at a corner of Paris or Madrid. Initially settled by Spaniards, Buenos Aires grew to be a city of 10+ million with the contribution of immigrants mostly from Europe. Each brought their own culture and made this very special city and also special country. Most tourists will associate Buenos Aires with tango, steaks, gauchos and pampas. These may be tourist icons, but if you just scratch the surface you will find a city with so much to offer that your trip there will only lead to plans for another trip. And Buenos Aires is the portal for a country of many cities and many natural beauties; now at a low price due to a currency exchange rate that is very convenient to most visitors (1 US dollar equals 3 Argentinean pesos). Our pictures of Buenos Aires, however, offer a very partial view of the city. We took these pictures for ourselves (long before we created Travel and Nature), and we were targeting mostly colonial buildings. We promise to go back and shoot some more to complete this site. | .jpg)
