Intersection during rush hour

With a surface area of 203 km² and a population density of approximately 15,000 inhabitants per km², the city of Buenos Aires is undoubtedly one of the main capitals of Latin America.
More than 3.5 million people enter the city daily from the outskirts (province of Buenos Aires), adding to the more than 3 million people who already live in the city. On weekdays, rush hour traffic is a real chaos, especially in the neighborhoods where commercial and financial activity is concentrated. The traffic is also very noisy, since most of the transport is still gasoline-powered, which explains the high levels of air pollution.

For those who go to work in the morning, returning home can take hours, since most of them have to travel by public transport with an inaccurate frequency, always crowded with people. A sort of pilgrimage, dirty and risky, to which it is inevitably necessary to get used to in order to survive.

The aerial view over one of the intersections of Corrientes Avenue (which is 8.6 km long) and Alem Avenue, takes us away for a moment from the noise, the clutter and the overcrowding. Only from above can we find the beauty within the chaos.
