- Pirámide de Mayo in the center of Plaza de Mayo in central Buenos Aires.

As rich in colonial architecture as it is in cultural diversity, the great city of Buenos Aires is one of the most beautiful cities in all of South America. With ornate buildings, expansive plazas, and peaceful parks, the city has an almost calm and relaxed atmosphere, despite being home to over 13 million people. Since my time in South America is nearly at an end, I made a quick weekend trip to see this iconic city while I still could. I was impressed by the gorgeous architecture, cleanliness, organized layout, and smooth blend of modern infrastructure with historic buildings. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to experience it before leaving the continent.
