Weekend travel section roundup: Armchair Travelers hit the Road

In the exclusive La Recoleta district: Close to business, shopping and cultural pursuits, featuring modern comforts in a contemporary tower and in the period beauty of an early 20th-century, French-style mansion.

I was living in Buenos Aires for a few weeks so I took the chance to learn a little about the famous dance, tango, which is hugely popular in Argentina and Uruguay. I managed to master the basics and learn a few things about tango culture, so I made this short video (3:33 long) to show my progress! Many thanks to my instructor María José (”Majo”). If you enjoy it, make sure to leave comments and subscribe to see my future videos! This video is also available in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Esperanto and Irish on my blog at http://www.irishpolyglot.com

The best Tango dinner show in Buenos Aires.

Antiques, souvenirs, junk, clothes (both old and new), street musicians, entertainers, and on this particular Sunday, the vendors were dressed in costumes. You can always count on San Telmo for a good time.

La Patagonia Argentina te seduce, te cautiva. La inmensidad de sus horizontes. Cada rincón ofrece una amplia gama de posibilidades para el relax, la recreación y la aventura, en un marco donde la exuberante naturaleza es la gran protagonista. Enigmática como pocas regiones en el mundo. Todo dispersado en esta gran tierra, desde San Martín de los Andes, a Ushuaia con su fronterizo Canal de Beagle, pasando por Bariloche, El Calafate, el imponente Glaciar Perito Moreno. La infinita llanura, la plenitud del campo, la estepa patagónica con el brillo de sus lagos y valles cargados de vegetación, su mar cálido y transparente, conviven con paisajes místicos, pinturas rupestres y la diversa fauna autóctona de la región.
