Unforgettable Buenos Aires: History, Gastronomy, and Porteño Gems
Get ready for an unforgettable experience in the heart of Buenos Aires, where we will learn about the city's origins, its gastronomy, and the countless curiosities surrounding every place.
We’ll begin our adventure at the historic Plaza de Mayo, where we’ll explore the Cabildo, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the Casa Rosada. We’ll pass by the Manzana de las Luces and travel back in time to delve into colonial life, the fashions of the era, and the architecture of the "Paris of South America." Next, we’ll visit the legendary Tortoni Cafe, cross the massive Avenida 9 de Julio, and discover the enigmatic Barolo Palace. We’ll admire the grandeur of the National Congress and the elegance of El Molino Cafe. Along the way, we’ll stroll through plazas, monuments, and Corrientes Avenue, where tango, theaters, bookstores, and gastronomy bring the city that never sleeps to life. We’ll walk the streets that inspired Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, and Umberto Eco while listening to stories about Carlos Gardel, Enrique Cadícamo, and the origins of Tango.
Did you know that Neapolitan pizza and "papas fritas a caballo" are Argentine inventions? Through the history of food, we’ll recommend where to eat and where not to, where to drink, where to taste the best desserts, and where to dance a traditional milonga.
Join us for an unforgettable tour of the capital at the end of the world. We’ll be waiting for you!
