What happened in Buenos Aires last week?

Last weekend, Buenos Aires had the honor of hosting one of the world’s most famous electronic music festivals. Originate from Miami in 1999, Ultra Music Festival 2012 hit the Argentinian capital for the first time with such force it shook the grounds around PuertoMadero from Saturday 5^th May 6pm, to Sunday 6^th May 6am. 25 000 ravers from all around the world were present at Costanera Sur, South of BuenosAires’s beautiful port, as international electronic artists such as the French duo Justice and American DJ Kaskade blasted their tunes all throughout the night. Spectacular light shows accompanied the acts from the three tents that were set up around the area, and one could either join the crowd and go wild or just sit down a little further back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Either way, everyone’s ears were wringing by the end of the night (or should we say early morning), but one could only see satisfied smiles as the people were going home for a good day’s sleep. All in all it was amazing event, and an activity Buenos Aires could not have made better, and hopefully this will be the first Ultra Music Festival Buenos Aires of many to come.

For those who are travelling to Buenos Aires this week, take care to swing by the Centro Cultural de CarlosGardel or San Martin to feast your eyes upon the magical atmosphere the city has to offer with Buenos Aires’s 4^thInternationalCircus Festival (or Festival Internacional de Circo). This year, the Buenos Aires special event is offering 18 shows to its spectators, nine of which are international (France, Switzerland, Sweden, Brazil, Chile), from the 3^rd to the 14^th May 2012.

For travelers who are searching to extract a more culturalexperience out of Buenos Aires, now is the right to time visit. When you think of Buenos Aires, what are the first things that come to mind?  Delicious meat, empanadas, dulcede leche, mate, beautiful women, and of course Tango!
