With its three ballrooms and staff comprised of accomplished dance instructors, your stay sets the mood and tone for your immersion into tango culture.

After a welcome drink and some time to freshen up, your guide will share some basics but essential information useful for your stay in the enormous capital and define the activities of the following days. Later on a city walk taking local public transportation you will start discovering the highlights of Buenos Aires and learn about its history, people, and architecture, visiting the neighborhoods of Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo and/ or the Abasto close to Argentine History and the beating passion of its national dance. Some spontaneous dancers will hopefully give you a glance of street dancers. The guided walk will finish at a restaurant, where you'll share a glimpse of Argentine cuisine at your choice.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
