We can’t deny that Buenos Aires is well known in the whole world for three determinate aspects in our culture Tango, Maradona and excellent meat.

In the begging of the 90s, the international success of the company Tango Argentino opened our doors to the whole world. A new generation began to dance Tango, a lot of bands were formed and many young people began practicing this sensual dance that attracts peoples of all ages and society levels, “Tango” and “Milonga” schools were opened and the “2×4” became more famous.

Tango became well know as an international dance. After the 2001 crisis and the following years the 3 to 1 dollar exchange and more advantages with the EUROS, is what make us received thousands of tourists from all over the world that wants to live this mystic dance and this is something possible only in Buenos Aires, the Tango capital.

The ones that loves this mystic dance has the chance to a sightseeing along a typical “Conventillo” in La Boca, go along “Caminito” full of those new realistic sceneries and a beautiful modern art expositions in the street, where painters, artists, sculptors, dancers and singers expose their art.
