Bon Voyage: Buenos Aires, Argentina |
Description & Facts: Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city of Argentina. It is located on the southern shore of the R??o de la Plata, on the southeastern coast of the South American continent. Greater Buenos Aires is the third largest conurbation in Latin America, with a population of about 13 million. In English, Buenos Aires means "Fair Winds" or "Good Air." After the internal conflicts of the 19th century, Buenos Aires was federalised and removed from Buenos Aires Province in 1880. The city limits were enlarged to include the former towns of Belgrano and Flores, which are both now neighbourhoods of the city. People from the city proper are called porte??os (people of the port). Other residents of the conurbation are bonaerenses. Buenos Aires was ranked as number 3, on the Top Ten cities of the world with the most beautiful women by a survey realized by Kareman on 2007.
