Also see Casa Rosada (The Pink House), home to Argentina’s presidents. If folklore is to be believed, this distinctive pink color comes from a mixture of bovine cattle blood and grease!

Travel Avenida 9 de Julio, the widest avenue in the world and see pretty craft shops in the colorful La Boca neighborhood. With colonial architecture, grand facades and folklore, this tour will give you a glimpse into the past of Argentina’s ever changing capital.
