Savoured the sights and tired of the tango? Make like a real porteño with a large dose of pampering at one of Buenos Aires' renowned health spas.

Buenos Aires is deservedly famous for its good-looking, well-turned out citizenry. Throughout Latin America, the porteños (people of the port, or those born and bred in BA) are gently mocked for their vanity, so it’s no surprise that the city is filled with all manner of beauty parlours, hair salons and day spas. Here’s a list of places to check into for a rejuvenating anti-jetlag treatment or a head-to-toe overhaul that might just help you compete with the super-groomed locals.
