Once you experience firsthand the sultry sophistication of Buenos Aires, you’ll quickly understand how the tango came to be invented here. The city steps quickly, pulses with passion, and shamelessly flirts with travelers. Our accommodations here are sure to seduce you, too – the elegant Axel Hotel, the world’s only gay hotel chain. For a glimpse of the country’s natural beauty, we jet down to Iguazu Falls to immerse ourselves in verdant jungle trails and mist-shrouded cataracts. And in our Hermes small group, we’ll move about with ease and take it all in at a relaxed pace.
