It's one of the most naturally beautiful cities in the world, even if it's overlooked by some ofthe world's worst shantytowns. By the beaches, Rio is a sultry city with a gorgeousbackdrop of wooded mountains, and a playground for the girls and guys of Ipanema andCopacabana. Climbing to the top of the Sugar Loaf mountain or to the statue of Christ onCorcovado, you'll be convinced that you truly are looking at a "marvelous city," as localsdescribe it. -SEE THE RIO DE JANEIRO GUIDE»

2 | BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA

The most European of all Latin American capitals is a city of elegant architecture and broadavenues, but also of one of the world's sexiest dances, the tango. It's a confident,

seductive place, offering great food and cultural attractions, together with a multitude ofshops and cafés that make you want to stay just a little longer. It's a city that neverdisappoints. -SEE THE BUENOS AIRES GUIDE»

3 | MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

This sprawling city may not be a pretty place, but it offers a wealth of cultural attractions.Start at the gigantic Zocalo Square, home to majestic architecture, and continue down thehistoric center to find faded old mansions and a number of museums, including FridaKahlo's. But the star attraction these days is much more contemporary, the Soumaya ArtMuseum, housing the collection of billionaire Carlos Slim. Another world-class museum notto miss is the National Anthropology Museum, dedicated to pre-Hispanic Mexico, which forthat alone is worth the trip.

Peru's capital has cleaned up its colonial architecture and that has earned it a spot on theWorld Heritage Sites list. It was once Latin America's richest city, reflected today on thegrand Plaza Mayor. The treasures of ancient pre-Columbian civilizations on display in theNational Museum and Larco Museum are often the reasons many visit the city, but thelocal gastronomy and celebrity chefs (like Gastón Acurio and Pedro Miguel Schiaffino) havenow also placed it on the map.
