La Boca is one of the most ancient and popular neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic. The place is very colourful, instead of dirt, noise, obscure.

But if you walked through the neigborhood for sure you will bump into surrprisingly clear river with amazing romantic view. Across the river you see almost every day a crowded row of twenty, maybe thirty people, painting their landscape.

La Boca has too much history. It’s located at the border of the Raichuelo (a small river), and it was a refuge for the immigrants form Italy and Spain, who arrived between the years 1880 and 1930. The neighborhood is a mix of wonderful colours. The houses were made with wood and metal sheet, and the walls were painted with the leftlovers of paintings.

All these beautiful colours are the main characteristic of this palce. Painters and photographs loved them, especially the artists. Many of the artists every Sunday work and sell their works of art around Caminito (little road). Caminito is the most precious icon of La Boca. It collect the tourist movement and offers ‘tango’ shows with music and dance. Caminito has particular character with its restorment of the houses. Most of them become open art galleries.

Everything in La Boca is a genuine example of the Buenos Aires culture.

Argentina is mostly famous for its capital city, Buenos Aires, usually referred to as the Paris of South America, and for being the cradle of the sensuous Tango, one of the most admired dances in the world. Plaza de Mayo, a traditional square to protest and revolt, but also a place to get relaxed and get invited to Tango, classic dance in Argentina. It takes two to Tango, but this is no problem in Argentina. Locals will always find a partner. People here love to dress up and look good. And boy o boy, do the people here look phenomenal. The Tango will captivate you and help you with insight into the culture. Whether you already know how to Tango or have no idea what it is, there are excellent places to learn. It is a magical city. There are people in the streets dancing tango, people enjoy going out very late at night until the early hours of the AM, and there is always something to do. The people are very friendly, too.

Tango is probably the most sensual and erotic dance ever. It has its origin in the 19th century when it was originally danced in the poor Barrios of Buenos Aires. Rather than just a dance Tango represents much more than that. In an almost dramatic piece of theater love, hate, fear and desire are expressed through sensual movements and passion. At the beginning it was surprisingly danced by pairs of men to the music of the flute, the violin and the guitar, the first of which was subsequently replaced by the “bandonen” (a type of accordion) which gave it its distinctive flavor. With the addition of the nostalgia and melancholy contributed by immigrants, the tango developed to give forth such musicians as Astor Piazzolla and Anbal Troilo.
Due to this impossibility of understanding by other audiences, the diffusion of tango was difficult and was basically approached through dance, which was earlier than tango itself in its most characteristic musical format (let alone sung tango, which arrived much later). It is clear that tango culture, understood as some particular usages and customs, is earlier than tango as an artistic expression. Salon dances involving a man and a woman embracing were the precedent for tango, which was refined until it became what has long been known as tango. The days in Argentina have been pretty relaxing, around Buenos Aires checking out all the shops everywhere. There is so much leather around it is wild. It is as if we were in Cusco, where all the people were ushering us into bars at night, but here we are given fliers and cues to follow people into their leather store.

Buenos Aires is the ideal place for experiencing the Tango, one of the most elegant and sensual dances in the world, where two bodies embrace, inspired by the passion of music, expressing the desire to move as one. The beauty and mystery of Buenos Aires, combined with the variety of wonderful cafes and restaurants, and numerous vibrant and exciting local tango shows will make you be part of an unforgettable experience.

The City of Buenos Aires is a cosmopolitan and modern urban centre, where every day millions of people, among them tourists, come and go either to work or to visit the city.
The planetarium is impossible to miss as it rises out of Palermo’s busy and popular park district like a spacecraft or a giant eggcup. Between the appropriate architecture and the giant hunk of space rock on display outside the front door, those on the lookout can’t miss it.

Catena House is a great choice for the Argentine red wines. The famous Catenas, Catena Alta, Catena Zapata and Angelica Zapata will delight any discerning palate. Other reds of note include Luigi Bosca and Los Nobles. If whites are more to your taste, the Norton Sauvignon is one of the finest you’ll find.

To complement the wines with a nice cigar, stop by Tabaqueria Inglesa. It’s on Paraguay Street, and Florida street, a few blocks from the Marriott Buenos Aires. They sell fine Cubans. Pick up a few and take your chances mailing them back to the US. It’s worth the risk – worst case you’ll just lose them in the mail!

The waterfall system consists of about 270 falls along 2.7 kilometres (1.67 miles) of the Iguazu River. The average drop from the top of the falls to the narrow canyon below is 240 feet (by contrast, Niagara Falls drops 170 feet on the Canadian side and only 110 feet on the American side). Iguazú river is born in Paraná state in Brazil, and after crossing 1,200 km. on a plateau where it receives several affluents, it reaches a fault forming a crack in the interleaved layers of sandstone and basalt where the river runs.

Most of the falls are within Argentine territory, but from the Brazilian side a more panoramic view of the Garganta del Diablo is obtained. Many islands split up the falls, including several large ones. About 900 metres of the 2.7-kilometre length does not have water flowing over it. The first European to find the falls was the Spanish Conquistador Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, after whom one of the falls in the Argentine side is named.

The name Iguazu comes from the Guarani words y (water) and guasu (big). The legend says that a god pretended to marry a beautiful aborigine named Naipú, who fled with her mortal lover in a canoe. In rage, the god sliced the river creating the waterfalls, condemning the lovers to an eternal fall.

From the visitors center you can walk around trails or in a picturesque train. There are two basic circuits: an upper path and a lower path. The lower path leads to the base of the falls, where the spray moistens visitors. It is a unique experience, worth daring the adventure. In this circuit you may also take a boat to Isla San Martín. From the upper path you have panoramic views from the footbridge in an unforgettable experience.

The falls that can be visited are: Salto Floriano, Salto Deodoro, Salto Benjamín Constant, Salto Unión, Salto Escondido, Salto Mitre, Salto Belgrano, Salto Rivadavia, Salto Tres Mosqueteros, Salto Dos Mosqueteros, Salto San Martín, Salto Adán y Eva, Salto Bozzetti, Salto Ramirez, Salto Chico, Salto Dos Hermanos and Salto Alvar Nuñez .

Apart from waterfalls, the jungle offers a series of alternatives in a dump but slightly fresher environment with a wide variety of animals and plants. Almost 500 species of wild fowl, 80 species of mammals and an immense variety of reptiles, fish, insects and butterflies live in this ecosystem.

If you are on excursion there probably first you will go through the Patagonia valley with its natural environment of species such as guanacos, ostriches, foxes, etc. Afterwards you will enjoy many interesting spots: Cerro Comision o De Los Elefantes, river Centinela, Cerro Frias (guanacos site), many Patagonian farmhouses and, across the Mitre river you will get into National Park Los Glaciares. Then, you will go 35 km along the coast of of Lake Argentino’s Rico Branch, among vegetation of incredible trees such as nires, lengas, notros and cherry trees and at Curva de Los Suspiros you will get the first panoramic view of Glacier Perito Moreno.

An ice cloak, or glacial cap, covers this Protected Area of 600,000 hectares. Among the 356 glaciers, the Perito Moreno is the most outstanding one, having a front of 5 km long and a height of over 60 meters above the level of the water. The 250 square km ice formation, of 30 km in length, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field located in the Andes system shared with Chile. This icefield is the world’s third largest reserve of fresh water.

The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of only three Patagonian glaciers that are not retreating. Periodically the glacier advances over the L-shaped “Lago Argentino” (”Argentine Lake”) forming a natural dam which separates the two halves of the lake when it reaches the opposite shore. With no escape route, the water-level on the Brazo Rico side of the lake can rise by up to 30 meters above the level of the main lake. The enormous pressure produced by this mass of waters finally breaks the ice barrier holding it back, in a spectacular rupture event. This dam/rupture cycle is not regular and it naturally recurs at any frequency between once a year to less than once a decade.

The terminus of the Perito Moreno Glacier is 5 km wide, with an average height of 60 meters above the surface of the water, with a total ice depth of 170 meters. It advances at a speed of up to 2 m per day (around 700 m per year), although it loses mass at approximately the same rate, meaning that aside from small variations, its terminus has not advanced or receded in the past 90 years. At its deepest part, the glacier has a depth of approximately 700 m.

The Perito Moreno glacier, located 78 km from El Calafate, was named after the explorer Francisco Moreno, a pioneer who studied the region in the 19th century and played a major role in defending the territory of Argentina in the conflict surrounding the international border dispute with Chile.
