About me, my name is Pablo. Lover of communication, especially if it is about something that I am passionate about, such as the city of Buenos Aires. Its history, politics, economy and culture; They always woke me up to the following question: Why does this city catch you so much, being so chaotic? My main concern about the tours is that you help me philosophize, to find an answer to understand the incomprehensible. Beyond the dates and some hero; My greatest interest is that you live an EXPERIENCE that makes you FEEL the city. I have a degree in International Commerce, Yoga teacher, Comparative Religions Travel Coordinator and Guide (India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Spain, Turkey and other countries). I love dancing, teaching, laughing, taking care of my loved ones. I escape complaints, lethargy and not taking advantage of this opportunity to LIVE. See you soon and so I can also get to know you

Tour description

Discover the charm of one of Buenos Aires' most fascinating neighborhoods: Recoleta. On this tour, I'll take you to explore its most sophisticated corners, where history, art, and architecture intertwine to tell the story of a city that aspired to become a global cultural powerhouse at the beginning of the 20th century.

You'll tour impressive palaces, European-style mansions, and monuments that have witnessed the splendor of Buenos Aires. Throughout the tour, I'll reveal the secrets of the most influential families of the time, who left their mark on these majestic buildings.

We'll also learn about the work of French landscaper Carlos Thays, who transformed a barren city into an urban garden and left behind a priceless green legacy. His vision made Buenos Aires a city filled with parks and green spaces, which today beautify and enliven its historic streets and avenues.

This tour is not only a journey into the past, but also a unique experience to discover the city's cultural and architectural evolution.
Get ready to see it with new eyes!
