Exploring Different Buenos Aires Vacation Packages

By Richard Foster


When planning a future vacation, there are many different options on destinations and activities. When it comes to South America, Buenos Aires vacation packages often have a lot to offer. For, the city is a rather old and historic one having been founded in 1536 with additional lands added in 1580.

As of the 2010 census, there were approximately 2,891,082 citizens in the city with a total of 15,594,420 in the metropolitan area. The city, the largest in the country is located on the Southeastern coast on the west side of the Rio de la Plata river.

The city is not part of the larger province or capital rather an autonomous city ran by local city government and officials. For, in 1880, the city was removed from the province after several attempts to gain acceptance and approval. As such, following a long period of infighting, the city limits were modified to incorporate Belgrano and Flores, two areas which have become vibrant neighborhoods.

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 diverse and multicultural when it comes to ethnic and religious groups, people and language. For, while the Native language is Spanish, millions of immigrants have resettled in the area, thus bringing a number of other languages to the area. Whereas, the number of affinity, interest and support groups in the city often changes on an ongoing basis.

When it comes to politics and religion, Buenos Aires has always been more liberal than other provinces to the northwest. For, the city has always been known for holding a more liberal and free ranging ideology, free-trade and exploring foreign ideas. Whereas, other provinces have always held a more Catholic and nationalistic approach to social and political issues.

Argentina's history, like most countries if a mixed bag. For, the tension between different factions can be traced all the way back to the federalists-centralist conflicts in the 19th century. While Buenos Aires sent a number of troops to gain acceptance and approval, most missions failed and only resulted in violent clashes which only perpetuated the problem. In fact, it was this action which resulted in the city becoming autonomous, a result which according to locals, appears to have been the best possible outcome.

Regardless of past history, immigrants from Italy and Spain helped to create a city which has become one with a vibrant downtown art scene. For, Buenos Aires now host the Colon Theater, one of the world's top opera venues and has also become one of the most important with regards to theatre, cinema, television and radio. While originally located on the main avenues built at the dawn of the century, a construction and redevelopment boom reshaped the downtown area and much of the city between 1945 and 1980, a boom which has aided the city in gaining the popularity it has today.
