BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA

One of the most exciting trips we've had, to say the least. Buenos Aires is one of the most convenient cities you can travel to. People are very pleasant and helpful, restaurants, bars and stores (pretty much everywhere) accept most currencies (U$, R$, € (that I know)), making it a very attractive city for tourists. 
Casa Rosada
"Casa Rosada" was a 10min walk from our hotel and it is a beautiful building with a cute little square right outside. 
The food was absolutely delicious with great local beer and amazing dessert (try the Dulce de Leche and Pizza). 
Downtown is definitely worth your time. It's filled with stores and bars (they even have a monument just like the "Washington Monument"). The "Teatro Nacional", "Plaza Liberdad" and "Teatro Colon" are all within a 10min walk from each other and are definitely a must see. 
We also went to the "La Bombonera" (Boca Juniors' Stadium) which turned out to be pretty cool. The streets were beautifully decorated and they had "Tango" dancers outside and inside most restaurants (great show to watch while dining).

Our favorite part of the trip though was when we took a tour about an hour outside Buenos Aires to the indescribable "Zoo Lujan". It's very difficult to describe such a different and amazing experience. This was one of the best experiences of my life, unforgettable. The ticket is AR$400 (for foreigners) and you get to spend the whole day (9am-5pm) interacting with all kinds of wild animals at the zoo.

There are no words to describe how glad I am to have taken this trip have had experienced such a joy.
