About Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is the gateway to Argentina and whether you are tourist heading for the impressive water falls at Iguazu, wine-tasting in Mendoza, skiing at Bariloche, whale-watching at the Peninsula Valdes, glacier walking at Perito Moreno, heading for the Antarctic from Ushuaia, or boarding a gay cruise ship, you should not fail to spend some time in the city.
Buenos Aires offers not only stylish architecture (the city is not called the Paris of South America for nothing), but also pavement cafes, steak restaurants (and what lucious beef) and cheap shopping.
Over the last two years the city has become well known for its liberal attitude to gay life so that it has become the destination of choice for gay tourists to South America. Buenos Aires now has many gay discos, bars, hotels, saunas, movie theaters, and possibly the best-looking men you will see anywhere.
There is no specific gay district in Buenos Aires; instead, the busy gay area (cruising places, pubs, bathhouses, discos, restaurants) is scattered throughout an extensive zone approximately 5 km. long and 1.5 km wide.
