Puerto Madero and the Old Town: Stories and Mysteries
Tour description
What secrets lie within the walls of this "kingdom"?
Join us on a fascinating journey to discover the life of the most European city in America.
From the times of viceroys and chieftains, to caudillos, dictators and presidents, Buenos Aires has woven a history as rich as it is diverse.
This queen has given birth to great masters such as Favaloro, Borges, San Martín, Pope Francis, Quino (the genius behind Mafalda) and Messi. However, she has also known how to create chaos in her most splendid moments.
Embark on a pleasant walk through the last 500 years of history, traveling along the emblematic Avenida de Mayo from its historic Plaza to the National Congress.
You will be transported walking through Madrid, through Paris, through pure European and Rioplatense Neoclassical, through Art Nouveau and Art Deco, where Pablo Neruda, García Lorca, Borges and Gabriela Mistral recited, where Gardel sang and Sarita Montiel and Loli Flores danced.
In "random mode," we will explore the Viceroyalties, independence, its splendid architecture, Buenos Aires Nazism, its exquisite gastronomy, waves of immigration, its religions, the fervor for soccer, the passion for tango, mate, the unmistakable Malbec, Evita and the descamisados, the mysterious gauchos and the role of Buenos Aires as the capital of the enormous breadbasket of the world.
We want you to understand the incomprehensibility of our “Cambalache”, to want to explore it further and to take away valuable information about restaurants, neighborhoods, museums and shows.
We are waiting for you!
