Buenos Aires
Rudy takes tango to the max and pays tribute to the Bandoneon, the accordion-like star of the seductive dance. From Palermo's bohemian chic to the La Recoleta Cemetery, where the elite are laid to rest in monumental style, this episode fully captures the energy and panache of Argentina's largest port, and the portenos who live their lives with passion and flair. Rudy's itinerary includes taking in modern Latin American art at the Museum, cutting into a beef lover's paradise at a grill house, cheering on the local futbol heroes, and partaking in afternoon tea amidst the European elegance at the Alvear Palace Hotel. Rudy also experiences the rugged gaucho way of life out on the Pampas.

Mendoza
Wine tasting, hiking, river rafting, and long, sweet siestas make up the heady bouquet of a trip to the modern mellow city of Mendoza. Rudy toasts the rising influence of Argentinean wines as he explores this vintner's paradise. With its generous Argentinean barbeque, or asado, Rudy has no beef with Mendoza! Culinary adventures give way to a trek to the summit of Aconcagua, he highest mountain in the Americas, biking, and zip-lining down a mountain.
