Avenida Corrientes is the Great White Way of the southern hemisphere, like New York's Broadway in the center of Buenos Aires, the theaters' neon lights shine light on the wide avenue illuminating even the darkest night to white. Running from the famous Buenos Aires Obelisk, Avenida Corrientes is not only full of theaters and lots of light, it also includes restaurants like pizza places and parillas serving the Portenos favorite foods.
Avenida Corrientes establishments do not include peep shows, instead book stores nestled between the theaters and restaurants open right onto the street 24 hours a day full of people browsing beautiful books about art, culture and history. The Portenos are known for loving their steaks and pizza, but it must be noted that a Portenos day is incomplete without the digestion of some cultural manifestation too.
And who would need a peep show in Buenos Aires, or Argentina for that matter, where the beauty and elegance of the human body is celebrated by its artists and tango dancers on every street.
Among other things, Argentina is known for its beautiful women who openly celebrate their beauty and sexuality by the way they wear the latest fashions and with the public displays of affection on the subway, in the streets, and between bites of pizza and steak. Last Saturday night the province of Corrientes, which is known as not only the home of Yerba Mate, but also the home of the most beautiful women in all Argentina, brought its cultural beauty to Avenida Corrientes for a pre-lude to Carnaval. And by the sights of the women dancing Carnaval, it may just be true that yerba mate is the secret to the beauty.
Corrientes is a province in northeast Argentina, in the Mesopotamia region. Corrientes means "currents" or "rapids" in Spanish. Corrientes is surrounded by Paraguay, Misiones in Brazil, and Uruguay. The popular Argentina tourist destinations Entre Rios, Santa Fe and Chaco provinces also surround the region of Mesopotamia, Argentina.
Corrientes beautiful women did not disappoint Saturday evening, who danced Carnaval down Avenida Corrientes dressed in nothing but feathers. And the Portenos who love to come out for culture were delighted by the drums, music and dancing down the Avenida Corrientes. Argentina continually celebrates all its cultures, as the Corrientes Carnaval shows is a testament to all the fun and excitement to be had when celebrating culture. Corrientes, like most of Argentina, is manifestly European in its customs and traditions.
Experienced Carnaval travelers and Carnaval tourists who have visited Carnaval in Brazil's Rio di Janiero and Italy's Venice often rank the Corrientes Carnaval as the third best Carnaval in the world.
