Travel Details

Buenos Aires:

Runs on nostalgia and cosmopolitan ambition. For every group of trendsetters laughing over cocktails, there’s a cluster of oldtimers gathered around a radio, a tear rolling down someone’s cheek as Carlos Gardel sings of the glowing street lamps of his beloved city. The capital city, once a prosperous European-style metropolis teeming with glamorous tango halls and grand cafes, buckled under the strain of a military government and several economic collapses. The steak really is the best in the world, dance halls fill with tango students every night of the week, the soccer matches are intense and passionate, the wine is aff ordable and delicious. But Buenos Aires’ magnetism, as any porteño (BA local) will tell you, extends well beyond such clichés. Architecturally speaking, the city is a fascinating microcosm of styles from colonial to belle epoque to modernist. The Parisian-style cafe circuit, backed by an intriguing literary history, is paradise for bookish types and coffee lovers, and the edgy local fashion scene seduces design-minded travelers.

Mendoza:

Is the most important in the region of Cuyo and is the capital of the province bearing the same name. Famous for lodging Mount Aconcagua, for its Malbec wines and for being the cradle of the heroic deeds of Liberator General San Martín, Father of this nation, it is one of the most beautiful and neat cities in the country.

Neuquén

is both an important agricultural center, surrounded by fertile lands irrigated by the waters of the Limay and Neuquén rivers in the otherwise arid province, and a petrochemical industrial center that receives the oil extraction of different points of the province. It belongs economically and geographically to the Alto Valle region that produces apples, pears, and other fruits.

Rio Negro

Offers visitors an outstanding array of possibilities not to mention having some of the most developed towns and cities in Patagonia. For the green enthusiasts there is also agrotourism along its valley region known as "Alto valle de Rio Negro' where 9 small towns constitute the heart of Argentina's horticultural industry (pears and apples leading the list of produce and fruits that comes out of this region). The southwestern part of the province, with Nauhel Huapi national park and Puelo lake as main attractions, is a world class destination visited by hundreds of thousands of people every year and is home for the #1 ski resort in the country: Cerro Catedral.

Uruguay: Colonia

In Uruguay's province of Colonia, is steeped in hisotry. It was the only Portuguese settlement along the Rio de la Plata.it is a resort city, a port, and the trade center for a rich agricultural region. Built in Portuguese style of houses and cobblestoned streets, the historic portion of Colonia is reminiscent of old Lisbon. Winding streets and colorful houses are laid out in a pattern different from Spanish colonial cities, and a delight to explore. The historic quarter, Barrío Historico, on a small peninsula jutting out into the river, was named a UNESCO heritage site in 1995

Uruguay, Montevideo

Capital and by far its largest city, Montevideo is a vibrant, eclectic place with a rich cultural life. Stretching nearly 20km from east to west, the city wears many faces, from its industrial port to the exclusive residential suburb of Carrasco near the airport. In the historic downtown business district, art deco and neoclassical buildings jostle for space alongside grimy, worn-out skyscrapersthat appear airlifted from Havana or Ceauşescu’s Romania, while across town the shopping malls and modern high-rises of beach communities like Punta Carretas and Pocitos bear more resemblance to Miami or Copacabana.

Uruguay,Punta del Este

This area is known worldwide as a scenic resort area with miles of beautiful beaches, luxury hotels and restaurants, glittery nightlife and an upscale summer population. For decades Punta del Este was an exclusive resort for wealthy South Americans, and it is still expensive, but not as much as famed European and US resort areas. The city and resort appeal has attracted multiple governments to hold summit meetings there.

Ireland, Dublin

Flying back to Dublin: and capital of Ireland. It is officially known in Irish as Baile Átha Cliath or Áth Cliath ; the English name comes from the Irish Dubh Linn meaning "black pool". It is located near the midpoint of Ireland's east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey and at the centre of the Dublin Region. Originally founded as a Viking settlement, it evolved into the Kingdom of Dublin and became the island's primary city following the Norman invasion.
