Arrive to Buenos Aires where you are met by your guide and transferred to your home for the next couple nights, the Mansion Dandi Royal. This historic mansion is a hotel and home to the Dandi Tango Academy in the heart of the San Telmo barrio. With its three ballrooms and staff comprised of accomplished dance instructors, your stay sets the mood and tone for your immersion into tango culture.
After a welcome drink and some time to freshen up, your guide will share some basics but essential information useful for your stay in the enormous capital and define the activities of the following days. Later on a city walk taking local public transportation you will start discovering the highlights of Buenos Aires and learn about its history, people, and architecture, visiting the neighborhoods of Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo and/ or the Abasto close to Argentine History and the beating passion of its national dance.

Stroll down the colorful el Caminito (little walkway), a street museum of sorts, that maintains the feel of the original small alleys that the growing immigrant population made their homes. Not only will you find out how important this neighborhood is to Buenos Aires but also to world of Tango. Around midday take a break in a typical café, you might want to enjoy a cortado coffee with a classic Argentinian sandwich de miga de jamón y queso (ham and cheese thin bread sandwich) before returning to the hotel.

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
