Leaving Uruguay's colonial streets behind, the crossing to Argentina takes you back across the Río de la Plata before Buenos Aires's skyline comes into view. The colourful Caminito street in La Boca and the grand Recoleta Cemetery are easy first stops, with the city's famous steakhouses a fitting way to mark arrival. A tango show in San Telmo, where the dance has deep roots, rounds out a classic first night in the Argentine capital.
