The head frase of this museum is "TOUCH EVERYTHING". Your kids will have an amazing time moving, switching and pressing levers, buttons and pedals along the way, getting a true "hands on experience". The mainly idea of the project is that the kids can learn the basic notions of science, while playing different games. Throughout the museum, they can experiment with laser beams, see how a huge camera works and even fly!
Quebrada de Humahuaca follows the line of a major cultural route, the Camino Inca, along the spectacular valley of the Rio Grande, from its source in the cold high desert plateau of the High Andean lands to its confluence with the Rio Leone some 150 km to the south. The valley shows evidence of its use as a major trade route over the years. It boast real traces of prehistoric hunter-gatherer communities, of the Inca Empire and of the fight for independence in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Inaugurated on May 25th, 1811in order to commemorate the May Revolution. The master mason, Cañete, constructed a 15-meter tall obelisk of adobe bricks surrounded by railings. In 1856 the monument underwent some remodeling to increase its volume. A statue of a woman symbolizing the new Republic was also set atop it, while allegorical sculptures reprsenting the arts, agriculture and sciences were positioned around the base. In 1884, new land development projects called for the monument to be relocated.
Founded in 1977, the gallery houses exhibitions, international events, biennials and auctions while promoting up-and-coming artists. Its space is filled with renowned artists which are well appraised by international collectors. Its expansion into other Latin American countries took it all the way to New York. Well-known for their international publishing house, it is also recognised in prestigious catalogues such as those of the Museum of the Americas in Washington and Christie's in London.
This historic plaza was the sight of the swearing of National Independence in 1816 before Don Juan Martín de Pueyrredón. During the colony, it was a resting post for wagons travelling from the port to what is now Plaza de Mayo along the first roadway, known today as Calle Defensa. Today it is the site of the San Pedro Telmo Antique Fair, where street performances such as tango dancers, musicians, mimes and colourful characters mingle with the painters, antiquarians and courious tourists who have found the perfect souvenir open shop!
Placed in one of the most prestigious international hotels. It features a wonderful 14m swimming pool where you can choose either to swim on your own, or with the assistance of an instructor. Fees may seem a little high, but when you add to the swimming classes, the use of the Jacuzzi, the sauna bath, the garden premises, and the fresh-fruit juices and coffee, then it is not that expensive and amazingly relaxing!
