The city of Buenos Aires is very well known for many things: its welcoming citizens, its delicious food, its beautiful women, and of course, Tango! This beautiful dance was declared in 2009 to be an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO's Intergovernmental Committee, and the Porteños (name for locals from Buenos Aires) are extremely proud of the art. Therefore this year Buenos Aires is hosting this year’s edition of the Tango World Championships!
