Beef

You can have a sumptuous beef delicacy in the high street restaurants, but do not skip the local delicacies too! Memorise the names of few beef dishes: morcilla, chinchulines, rinones and molleja.

South American Tea- Fernet
This is one of the most common drinks in the South American regions comprising of Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil. This is the most unusual herbal drink in the entire world, so if you are visiting Buenos Aires, make sure you do not miss Fernet tea.
Tango
Argentina is famous for Tango. You can go to tango shows and see the professionals in action. You can also go to Milonga for seeing the real world of Tango, provided you have enough time for that; else dance shows are the best options for you.
Leather!
