Mexico City

This city has the largest Metro area in the Western Hemisphere. Its industrial and services based economy suffered a hard 2009 with the Worlds economic crisis and the Swine Flu. However 2010 was a year of important recovery and today the city is once again a bustling emerging market that attracts millions of dollars in investments and millions of tourist from all around the World. Its indian and Spanish heritage makes it an attractive urban centre with too much to see an too much to do.

Our next stop is....

Buenos Aires

The most European city in Latin America, Buenos Aires is home of a progressive society and a proud middle class. The city suffered one of the hardest financial crisis in history in the Argentinean 2001 economic crisis. However, 10 years later the city, as a fenix, has emerged from the ashes and today is a place where luxury and excess is visible in various points and the middle classporteños are saving and consuming again as their parents and grandparents did before them when this city was one of the wealthiest in the World. Heritage of those times are the citys grandious palaces, avenues, theatres, countryside castles, parks, monuments and public buildings.

Puerto Madero is the citys newest neighbourhood. It used to be a place of docks and heavy industry but today, thanks to a renovation project, is home to some of the expensiest apartment buildings in the city and many of the best restaurants and bars.

our next stop is...

Rio de Janeiro

The name of this city means January River and January is one of the best months to visit Rio, when summer its at its hottest and Cariocas are preparing themselves for the Februry Carnivals, the biggest one in the World. This city is known for Bossa and The girl from Ipanema, Samba and favelas, for the elegant buildings in Copacabana and the mighty Christ Redemmer, the beautiful beaches in Lagoa, Sao Conrado and Leblon and the sensual Brazilian girls using the smallest bikinis. But Rio is more than that, it has a bustling financial and business area and an impressive historic centre. It is sorrounded by forest protected by law and is connected to Niteroi and more beaches by beautiful bridges. If you go to Rio yo have to pack all your senses.
