Exploring Different Buenos Aires Vacation Packages

By Richard Foster


When it comes to travel whether foreign or domestic, there are a lot of places to visit. When it comes to South America, there are a number of different Buenos Aires vacation packages. The city, first established in 1536 by Pedro de Mendoza with additional portions added in 1580 by Juan de Garay, has become a popular destination for honeymooners and tourists.

In 2010, the census reflected that 2,891,082 citizens lived in the city with 15,594,420 living in the greater metropolitan area. Buenos Aires is located on the Southeastern coast and continues to be the biggest city in all of Argentina. While this is the case, navigating in the city is fairly easy due the rebuild and reconstruction which took place a few years ago.

Buenos Aires is an autonomous city ran by a city legislature and local politicians. For, in 1880, the city was removed from the province after several heated political battles. Following the infighting, the city limits were modified to include Begrano and Flores which have now become neighborhoods within the city.

The city is one of a number of top tourist destinations in Argentina. For, the area is well known for preserving original European and gothic architecture, some of which can be rather eclectic. In addition, the city has a vibrant and rich cultural life as shown by recent participation in the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics, the 2018 G20 Summit, two venues which hosted the 1978 FIFA World Cup and the Pan American Games in 1951.

The city is extremely diverse and multi-cultural due to the numerous ethnic and religious groups which call the area home. Several different languages are spoken in the city in addition to Native Spanish. In large part, thanks to the millions of immigrants who have come from different areas of the world over the last 151 years.

When it comes to lifestyle, politics and religion, Buenos Aires has always been accepting of all citizens. Whereas, provinces to the northwest tend to be more conservative, nationalistic and dogmatic. In fact, many are based in Catholicism and often take a much different approach to political and social issues. For, liberals and conservatives often have vastly different approaches when it comes to looking at and resolving issues in these areas.

The tension between factions in Argentina's history can actually be traced back to these differences beginning with the centralist-federalists conflicts in the nineteenth century. After which, Buenos Aires sent a number of troops to the provinces in hopes of gaining approval for different actions. While this is the case, little was achieved as most missions resulted in clashes which were extremely violent and only worked to fuel existing tensions between the provinces and the capital.

In large part, it is the immigrant population from Spain and Italy which helped build the city into the multicultural and diverse community it is today. In addition, these individuals also contributed to what has become a vibrant art and music scene. For example, the Colon Theater, located in the center of the city is one of the world's top opera houses. Whereas, a construction boom which took place between 1945 and 1980 gave way to an interest in radio, television, cinema and theater, all of which can now be found in and around the city.
