The neighborhood of Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is built on reclaimed land and sits adjacent to the river. A must-see in the area is Woman’s Bridge (Puente de la Mujer). The graceful bridge over Rio de la Plata represents the image of a couple dancing the tango. The white mast symbolizes the man and the curved silhouette of the bridge, the woman. More than just aesthetics, the bridge has one of the largest turning mechanisms in the world, engineered with a rotating central section that opens and allows the passage of boats. The homage to women doesn’t stop with the bridge; every street in Puerto Madero is named after a famous woman in Argentine history.
