Answer 5

The cabrito is awesome, the macro plaza is beautiful, as well as the cathedral and the area around there is full of museums and restaurants, the view of the city at night from the Bishops palace is amazing. It is a very business oriented, industrial city, but they play as hard as they work. A night hitting the bars in the Barrio Antiqua is an experience all its own! I would also recommend spending a day in the mountains and seeing Horsetail Falls.
