The Totally Tango package includes a three-night stay in a deluxe room at the Hilton Buenos Aires, in the trendy riverside area Puerto Madero, as well as lots of tango-related perks. You'll enjoy a private one-hour tango lesson for two with dancer Carlos Copello at the International Academy of Dance & Arts. Two tickets to a dinner show at Esquina Carlos Gardel, with transportation, and tickets to the World Tango Museum (Museo Mundial del Tango) are also provided. You can decompress in the hotel's sauna and pool, and you can extend your stay for $195 per room per night.

Getting There: The lowest round-trip fares we've found for Buenos Aires in mid-December are: $720 from Miami (multiple carriers); $862 from New York City (COPA Airlines); $928 from Los Angeles (multiple carriers); $937 from Chicago (multiple carriers).

What Makes This a Deal? The tango package offers a 20 percent discount off the full cost of a three-night stay and the amenities (the tango dinner-show, for instance, is typically $140 for two people), plus the convenience of having it all organized.

Flights to Buenos Aires are pricey during the winter since it's thehigh season. If you're not interested in the tango activities and don't mind a more modest hotel, you'll save by booking a straightforward air/hotel package. Gate 1 Travel offers airfare and a six-night stay at the Waldorf Hotel from $889, based on double occupancy and a Miami departure.
