Chile & Argentina: Andes To Patagonia Day 2

Day 02 - Tuesday, March 17, 2015 - Flight to Buenos Aires; Check Into Hotel; Trip Meeting; Explore Buenos Aires; Welcome Dinner

We arrive in the cosmopolitan capital of Argentina this morning, where we'll check in to our hotel and meet all the travelers who arrived today from the USA and join our resident expert Trip Leader.

We’ll slip into the swirl of activity that fills the surrounding streets, joining the flurry of pedestrian traffic, business workers, and fashionistas as we get to know our surroundings during an orientation walk.

As we stroll the heart of Buenos Aires, we’ll catch a glimpse of the endless options and activities available to us during our stay: sidewalk cafés ideal for people-watching over cortado (coffee with milk) and medialunas (croissants); nearby markets, mansions, and quiet cobbled streets; and wide boulevards showcasing the city’s elegant mixture of classic and modern architectural styles.

Tonight, we meet for an informative briefing on our adventure with our Trip Leader before getting our first taste of Argentina’s cuisine during a Welcome Dinner at a local restaurant. With influences from French and Italian to Spanish and indigenous fare, there’s no telling what you might order—though Argentina’s succulent grass-fed beef (which is less a local specialty than a national obsession) might be a good place to start.

The four Main Trip passengers arrive today in Buenos Aires. We will all meet at the Welcome Dinner this evening.
