was born! During this tour we will visit Avenida de Mayo that runs into the
Plaza De Mayo, which is surrounded by the Casa Rosada (Government
House), the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Cabildo (first City
Hall, built during Spanish rule). At the other end of Avenida de Mayo you find
the
Congress
building. Continue to San Telmo, the best kept
historical neighborhood and eldest district of Buenos Aires. Here we have time
to stroll around Plaza Dorrego, where you can find many antique shops. On
Sundays Plaza Dorrego is a "MUST", as an antique market takes place there. If
you till now did not find the right souvenir, there is no doubt you will find it here. In the fresh shadow of huge trees and also in the streets where Tango couples are
dancing. Next stop is La Boca, a most colorful area.
 At the famous street
Caminito people will meet painters offering their Tango pictures. Passing
Colon Theatre, one of the world's best known opera houses and the cultural
pride of the "porteños" (as the inhabitants of
Buenos Aires are commonly called), continue to Palermo with its beautiful parks, the City Zoo, Botanical Garden,
Argentine Horse Track and National Polo Fields.  Palermo is beautiful for its
artificial lakes. At the end of the tour we visit Recoleta area, one of the city’s glamorous spots. Here you will find the
Municipal Cultural Center, elegant boutiques and excellent restaurants,
surrounded by centennial trees. On the cemetery of Recoleta you will find the
grave of Eva Duarte who became famous as Eva Perón (Evita). The more relevant
personalities of Argentina’s history rest in Recoleta: politicians, explorers,
priests, leaders, writers and poets. La Recoleta is a necropolis itself. The
mausoleums, pantheons, tumulus and vaults reflect the architectural diversity
emerging from the different cultural tendencies Argentina incorporated in its
formation as a nation. The cemetery is considered to be one of the most
impressive monuments of Argentina’s past.
