The Passions of Argentina: Tango, Food and Politics

The land of Juan and Eva Perón is one of contrasts: ancient Inca civilizations and sophisticated cities, traditional crafts and foods and modern tango, all along the beautiful Andes range.

On this journey, taste them all, traveling from urban Buenos Aires to a rural working farm. Along the way, learn what makes Argentines so passionate about their nation. Spain conquered Argentina, and in many ways the nation retains heavy Spanish influence, though central European-inspired cuisine is also endemic.

The Perónist era was both immensely popular and repressive, and its legacy also remains visible. But the tango was also invented here, and Argentina's wine-growing regions have gained international renown.

And, of course, Argentina produced the first Latin American pope. Immerse yourself in the politics and culture of this land of growing influence, viewing incredible scenery and tasting the unique dishes of this South American nation.
