TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
Buenos Aires conjures up images of soccer, tango, Pampas, Evita and Maradona…. But there is more, much more. Let us tell you more about Buenos Aires and the wide range of possibilities that it offers you.
THE TANGO
It started by the end of the 19th. Century as a mix of various rhythms danced in the poorest quarters in Buenos Aires. First, pairs of men danced it to the music of the flute, violin, and guitar, the first of which was subsequently replaced by the "bandoneón" (a type of accordion), which gave it its distinctive taste. Immigrants added their nostalgia and melancholy, and so the tango was developed into what it is today.
SAFETY
Buenos Aires is one of the safest capital cities in Latin America.
