 | I'm leaving on Friday for Buenos Aires, one of the great cities of South America. I'll be sailing from Buenos Aires to Valparaiso on the small luxury ship the Silversea Silver Whisper, and you can look for details of the ship and the cruise next month. For now, let's look at some of the things to do in and around Buenos Aires. | |
Buenos Aires - Things to Do Before or After Your Cruise
Buenos Aires is a good bargain compared to many other cruise destinations. However, this terrific city has more than good bargains for the traveler. The vivacious Argentine city has warm, sunny weather in the austral summer months of December through February. Buenos Aires also has a European look and a sophisticated beat.

A trip to Argentina is not complete unless you taste some of the excellent Argentine beef and see a gaucho demonstrate how to use boleodoras without knocking himself out. A fun way to do this is to visit one of the ranches near Buenos Aires and join in the barbecue festivities.

This may sound a little crazy, but everyone who goes to Buenos Aires should visit the Recoleta Cemetery.
| Map of Argentina
This map shows how large Argentina is. Temperatures in January through March can range from over 90 in Buenos Aires to almost freezing in Ushuaia at the tip of Tierra del Fuego. Cruise ship itineraries from Buenos Aires usually either sail north to Rio de Janeiro or south and around the horn of South America to Valparaiso.
