Traditional Argentina

Argentina in known for a lot of things, and going with Virtuoso I was able to experience a lot of what Argentina is known for. 

One of the main things that Argentina is known for, and rightly so, is meat. Almost every meal I had for two weeks in Argentina was meat, bread, and cheese. It was all so heavy and filling, but so delicious. The meats really were amazing.


One of the first nights we were given a HUGE delicious meal of meats. They brought out a little salad, bread, chicken, and sausage. Everyone ate up and was stuffed, and then they brought out the entree, a huge plate of assorted meats. Apparently, the first plate of meats was an appetizer. It was unreal.


We were able to watch the meat slowly cook throughout the night and watch them baste it over and over again. It was cool to watch, and inspired me on how to really cook meat. I'm usually not that patient.


While we waited for the food to cook they entertained us with a horse show and some traditional tango.


If your ever able to afford real luxury travel. Use Virtuoso, because they no how to do things. Everything at the Virtuoso symposium was perfectly done, really giving us a taste of Argentina. 


Argentina is also known for tango, while we were there we were able to see a number of dances and tangos.


We were also able to see horse races in Buenos Aires. Luck was not with me because my horse never was even close to winning, but it was fun experiencing it.


They also had the horses give us a little dance before they started, which was pretty cool to watch. It's pretty cool to see horses doing tricks and standing different way. I'm pretty sure I saw a horse do a handstand.


Argentina has a lot more to offer than just meat, tango, and horse racing, but those were some of my favorite things we experienced while I was in Buenos Aires. I feel like they are must sees while visiting there, and I would suggest them for anyone who has a few days to waste.
