We approached Buenos Aires from the west and so did not get views of the downtown or of the main port area. However, we did see something of the texture of the city with its red tile roofs and a pretty marina area on the wide Rio de la Plata, which separates Argentina from Uruguay.

Next, a change of planes and we’re off to Mendoza! But don’t worry: we’ll be back in Buenos Aires for a real visit in a few days.
