Tango Time Buenos Aires

Try a class at one of the several tango schools, and show off your newly acquired steps by heading to a milonga, a tango nightclub that evokes the elegance of a 1930s ballroom. Some milongas also offer lessons before they open, and La Viruta and Salon Canning are two of the most popular with locals.

Whooping It Up Carmelo, Uruguay

Learn to tell bombachas from boleadoras (clue: one is an item of clothing, the other used for catching livestock) under the guidance of our traditional gaucho, whose way of life harks back to the cattle-herding days of Uruguayan lore.

Stargaze the Night Away Costa Rica

End the day marveling at the night sky with the help of the Resort’s new high-powered Meade LX200 telescope. The Resort’s hilltop location is ideal for stargazing (the region has been named one of the top places in the world to stargaze by Travel + Leisure). Novice but enthusiastic sky-watchers can call on Recreation Manager Luis Salas to provide charts and expertise.

Offshore Birdies Punta Mita

The Jack Nicklaus–designed Pacifico golf course at Punta Mita has something you won’t find at any of the thousands of other courses in the world—an offshore natural island green. Set on a rocky atoll in the Pacific Ocean, 199 yards from shore, the par-3 is known as the Tail of the Whale. Due to the difficulty, Nicklaus built 19 holes to offer an alternative.
