It has been a major recipient of millions of immigrants from all over the world, making it one of the most diverse cities in the Americas. Popular Senior Academy presenter John Trudeau will take you along on his first time adventure in this marvelous city on October 18. He will introduce you to some historic, cultural, architectural, and nature-oriented sites, including where the Tango originated in the harbor area of old Buenos Aires.
He will share his adventures with the massive currency inflation rate at some extensive street fairs for shopping and mixing with locals, and bring you along on a visit to a river-delta suburb where the only transport is by boat. Mostly you’ll see interesting tourist places. It’s a first time visit after all!
