This is quite the perfect guidebook for visiting the Buenos Aires area. The city itself is well divided region by region; the side trips are truly must do’s with Iguazu Falls being particularly critical. Thusly, this book covers all the areas that one ought to see. It has the basic history, with coverage on Peronism, Evita, Che, Gauchos, and of course, the tango. In general, I find these guidebooks to be insufficient for detail planning but good for a starting point and also as a reminder when on the ground, away from internet access. The topics covered in this book is very good for the traveler nevertheless. ( )
