Montevideo Highlights & Tango Performance

Capital City Highlights and Traditional Tango Performance Enjoy a performance of the sultry tango after a scenic tour of Montevideo’s monuments, parks and gardens. Tango mixes African rhythms with European music to create an expressive dance in which partners maintain harmony and connection with each other and the music. Developed during the late 19th century in the poorer neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, the tango has since become a popular musical style worldwide. Visit a long-established venue near the River Plate. Sip a refreshing beverage while enjoying a traditional tango performance.
