Buenos Aires Herald 
The only thing better than a long weekend is one packed with street parties, live music, and… shaving cream (?) Honestly we could probably do without the foam attacks, but it’s a package deal.
While we may not exactly be in Rio, Buenos Aires can still hold its own when it comes to Carnaval festivities. Here’s where and how to catch the chaos.
If you’re not one for sequins and would rather take advantage of the long weekend by skipping town, we’ve got your seaside recommendations covered.
