Buenos Aires Vacation Packages and Tours

Overview

Take a trip to Buenos Aires on your Argentina vacation.

Located on the southeastern coast of the South American continent, Buenos Aires serves as the capital of Argentina. Not only is Buenos Aires the largest city in Argentina, but it is also the second-largest metropolitan area in all of South America and the starting point for many Argentina tours.

The city was initially founded in 1556 by Spanish explorer Pedro de Mendoza, but a second, more successful settlement was established late in the 1500s by Spaniard Juan de Garay. Later centuries saw Buenos Aires expand thanks to the trade that passed through the city’s port. Argentina’s “Dirty War” from 1976-1983 had an immense effect on the citizens of Buenos Aires as many disappeared at the hands of the government. Since then, Buenos Aires has bounced back from numerous political and economic crises and is today a popular tourist destination.

Sometimes referred to as the “Paris of South America,” Buenos Aires has been influenced by European culture and lays claim to a lively theatre industry as well as many museums. Recent years have witnessed a surge in tourism. Whether it’s taking in a tango show (or perhaps even a lesson), learning about notable historical figures like Evita or enjoying the nightlife and arts scene, all of our Buenos Aires tours offer a great deal on an Argentina vacation.
