DANCE RETREAT AND CULINARY EXPERIENCE ITINERARY
ARGENTINA PART DOS
DAY 1:
ARRIVAL, EXPLORING, DINNER & DANCING
BUENOS AIRES, WE MEET AGAIN!
It all begins with our arrival in Buenos Aires and a shuttle to Palermo Hotel. Take some time to settle in, rest, or head out to explore the neighborhood. Browse local shops, stop for a café con leche, and ease into the rhythm of the city before we come together for our first evening of dinner and dancing.
DAY 2: GROUP LESSON, LOCAL WINE TASTING, DINNER & DANCING
IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO.
Wake up to a delicious breakfast prepared by Chef Jay before joining Cesar and Roxana for a group dance lesson right in our hotel. In the afternoon, enjoy an optional wine tasting at a local wine spot in Palermo, with time to sip, savor, and discover a few new favorites. We’ll come together again for dinner and another evening of dancing.
*Wine tasting may be offered in two smaller groups, with advance sign-up. An alternative afternoon activity is being explored for those who prefer to skip the tasting. Details to follow.
DAY 3: FERRY TO URUGUAY, LUNCH, WALKING TOUR, RETURN
ferry tales & cobblestone trails.
Start the day with breakfast prepared by Chef Jay before we trade Buenos Aires for a little Uruguayan charm! We’ll board the ferry to Colonia de Sacramento for a day of exploring across the river. A sightseeing bus and guided walking tour will introduce us to the Historic Quarter, with its cobblestone streets and colorful corners. The excursion also includes a visit to the historic bullring and a three-course lunch at Los Kamikases Restaurant before our return to Buenos Aires for dinner and dancing.
*Excursion details are subject to confirmation. Drinks with lunch are not included.
DAY 4: TEATRO COLÓN TOUR, LUNCH, DINNER & DANCING
A LITTLE DRAMA, A LOT OF TANGO.
Begin the day with a delicious breakfast prepared by Chef Jay before heading out for a guided tour of Teatro Colón, regarded as one of the top five opera houses in the world. We’ll take a peek behind the curtain of Buenos Aires’ theatrical side, admiring the architecture and hearing stories of this celebrated opera house. Afterward, we’ll enjoy lunch and a little time to unwind before dinner and another evening on the dance floor.
DAY 5: GROUP LESSON, BUS TOUR THROUGH LA BOCA, DINNER & TANGO SHOW
ANOTHER BOCA ON THE BUCKET LIST.
Fuel up with breakfast prepared by Chef Jay, then join Cesar & Roxana for a group dance lesson at our hotel. Afterward, we’ll hop aboard the sightseeing bus and head to La Boca for an afternoon of colorful streets, exploring, and photo-worthy stops. In the evening, we’ll trade sightseeing for the spotlight as we enjoy dinner and a tango show—a little inspiration from the pros to finish the day!
DAY 6: GROUP LESSON, BUS TOUR INCLUDING THE CEMETERY, DINNER & DANCING
DON’T CRY FOR ME, RECOLETA.
Enjoy breakfast prepared by Chef Jay before joining Cesar & Roxana for a group dance lesson at our hotel. Then we’ll hop back aboard the sightseeing bus to explore more of Buenos Aires, including Recoleta Cemetery, where Eva Perón rests. If “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” from Evita starts playing in your head, you’re probably not alone! We’ll discover the stories behind the elaborate tombs before rounding out the day with dinner and another evening of dancing.
DAY 7: GAUCHO RANCH EXCURSION, DINNER & DANCING
GAUCHO BOOTS ON?
After breakfast prepared by Chef Jay, we’re hoping to trade our dance shoes for a little adventure in Argentina’s countryside!
