On a recent international holiday, we set out to explore my husband’s Argentine heritage and to inspire our teenage son with a deep immersion in the Spanish language. Our trip to Buenos Aires was just the ticket to experience a captivating blend of city life, cultural charm, and outdoor adventure. We couldn’t have asked for a more well-rounded deep dive into all the fun-filled highlights the capital of Argentina has to offer.
Situated on South America’s eastern coast on the shore of the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires is the second most visited city in Latin America after Mexico City. Offering a charming mixture of European and Latin American character, it has a distinctly cosmopolitan flair that has earned it the nickname “the Paris of South America.”
