There is something truly exotic when pronouncing "Buenos Aires”. The roll of the words off the tongue would entice the keenest of travellers to explore this region just for it’s name. But the name is not all this city has to offer… who could say no to eclectic architecture, delicious barbecues or chasing waterfalls? What could be more exciting than colourful Rio? Or the magnificent Amazon? Or playing football on a beach in a truly unique part of the world?
