LOST iN Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires. A city to fall in love with, and fall in love in, the boulevards of the "Paris of South America"" were modeled on the French capital. Waves of immigrants wove the social fabric, including vast numbers of Italians, Spanish, Jewish refugees, Armenians, and countless others. Throw in decades of immigration from Latin Americans seeking a better life and the resulting mix is intoxicating, and at times, vitriolic. But all tension dissolves in the luscious aroma of beef grilling on the parrilla, the magnetic dust of dark tango bars, the crumbling façades of faded, palazzo- style buildings, and the personality of the people- whose flair for melodrama is matched only by their unparalleled wit. Steak in a football stadium, pasta in a tango haunt, eye-opening eyewear, mon 'n' pop ice cream, a fresh art village, a political parilla, secret speakeasies.. Get lost in the city of chaos and charisma.
