8 Nights Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires

Dubbed the Queen of the Rio de La Plata by Argentine author Carlos Romero, Buenos Aires is Argentina's cosmopolitan capital and to Portenos synonymous with Argentina. Easily the most European of all South American capitals, even the phone book holds more last names indicating Italian or German heritage than Spanish. The city experienced a boom in the 19th century, taking its cue from Paris, and since then is often referred to as the Paris of South America.
