After leaving the cemetery we will drive through the fancy Alvear Avenue and Arroyo Street, where we can appreciate the classic French style architecture that made Buenos Aires known as the Paris of South America.

Being a 6 hours tour, we plan to have lunch at a local place where they serve typical meals from the northwest of Argentina. The empanadas are the best ones you will try in your lifetime.

Note: Lunch is not included. The idea is to do a quick meal, Buenos Aires is huge and plenty of places are still waiting for us!
