Pack your bags along with a favorite Gabriel García Márquez novel and head on to BA! Upon arriving in the country you will feel the magical realism, along with the rich history, art scene and fascinating political drama of the past. Whether you have a week in the cosmopolitan capital or only a few days I've identified all the best spots during my month in the colorful city.
