- The Obelisk (El Obelisco) along Nueve de Julio Avenue in Buenos Aires. The thoroughfare, named after Argentina’s independence day (9 July 1816), is generally considered the widest avenue in the world. The Obelisk, built in 1936, measures 67 meters high (220 feet) and commemorates the founding of the city.
- Comprised of over 275 separate waterfalls, Iguazu Falls straddles the border between Argentina and Brazil.
Who can blame Gov. Mark Sanford choosing the Tango over the Charleston — except maybe his wife? If you had a choice of hanging out in South Carolina flying down to Argentina for a few days of rest, relaxation and some XXX fun, which would you choose?![ar-lgflag[1] ar-lgflag[1]](http://www.hipstertravelguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ar-lgflag1-150x150.gif)
Whenever Sanford’s viagra wore off, we hope he took some time to enjoy all of the trappings of Buneos Aires, the nation’s capital. We also hope he took time to read the Mixology of Argentina, where he could have learned about the Matrie, a wonderful drink any self respecting hipster needs to order today — it’s a delicate combination of Passion Fruit Juice, gingerale and vodka.
He also may have wanted to check out the State Department’s advisory on the place he was visiting – which says it’s a pretty safe country to visit.
Apparently, Sanford, a cheating hipster, knows how to spot a good deal — he bought a last minute ticket and headed to South America during the off season. Wise move Mr. Govenor.
We also hope he made it over to the Iguazu Falls — which are very romantic — though romance is not exactly what this guy needs right now.
