If you think crossing a busy street is a challenge, then welcome to Avenida 9 de Julio in Buenos Aires, where you’ll need a map, a snack, and perhaps an overnight bag to make it from one side to the other. At a staggering 140 meters wide, this avenue is so vast it makes the Champs Elysees look like a quaint country road.
