Perhaps one of Argentina’s most valuable tourist attractions today is the low cost of living and shopping bargains to be found here. Here you can enjoy a low-cost vacation without sacrificing any pleasures or comforts. If a bottle of good wine or a liter of beer for two dollars sounds appealing, then you will also be pleased to rent a cozy vacation apartment from ba4uapartments.com.ar for as little as four hundred US dollars per week. This summer Lan Airlines is offering round-trip flights from Toronto, New York, Miami, Vancouver, and Los Angeles from as low as US$477 plus taxes. This is probably the lowest fare possible to enjoy a get-away in Buenos Aires. Even gourmet restaurant dining is affordable when a three-course dinner with wine can readily be enjoyed for less than fifteen dollars per person.
Although there is no specific gay village in Buenos Aires, the community is spread throughout the center of the city. The districts of Recoleta, Palermo and San Telmo are very gay and the local bars, restaurants and clubs are found mostly in these areas. However, many gay places are within an inexpensive taxi ride of each other. These districts of Buenos Aires are some of the safest zones of any major city in South America and visitors should feel secure walking around day or night—however, sensible precautions should never be abandoned.
Sidewalk cafes, Argentine beef Parilla grill-restaurants—renowned for the best
beef in the world—and cheap shopping make this a totally fabulous, affordable gay destination.
Buenos Aires now has over sixty gay discos, restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels, saunas, and movie theaters frequented by the best-looking Latin men you will see anywhere. The gay scene in Buenos Aires, in common with other cities in South America, starts very late. Apart from one bar (Flux) and the cruising bars and movie theaters, nothing really starts until around midnight.
Very few people arrive at discos until 2:00 AM, but then the discos quickly fill to capacity and line-ups occur, particularly on Saturdays. The principal discos and bars mostly operate from Thursday to Sunday, but there are show bars with comedy drag and strippers which open seven nights a week. Most of the cruising bars, cinemas and saunas are open seven days a week, with some being open twenty-four hours throughout the weekend.
So if you are trying to find a place to enjoy a fun gay vacation but these economic times have restricted your budget, then check out the discount flights to Buenos Aires and enjoy the Paris of South America. The temperate climate in South America makes Buenos Aires a year-round gay vacation destination.
