Want to travel to the Plaza Lavalle to see the Lavelle Monument and Colon Theatre, stroll down the Avenida de Mayo, catch a streetcar on the Paseo Colon? Care to catch a play in the open air theater for children? Horses at the Hippidrome? And did we mention the monuments, cathedrals, and capital buildings?

Don't worry, there are hotels and subway train station shots for those who like to plan! So pack your bags and join us for the trip -- and make sure you stick around to see the cowboys...
