Itinerary
- Day 1
Buenos Aires
You'll arrive in Buenos Aires whenever your flight gets in, so there's flexibility built into the day. If your timing works out and you land early, take some time to walk around and get a feel for the city on your own. The afternoon or evening brings everyone together for a welcome drink with your CEO and group at one of the casual sidewalk cafés or restaurants you'll find throughout the neighborhoods. It's a good chance to settle in and meet everyone before the itinerary kicks into full gear.
