San Telmo: Where Tango Paves History

The time of the conquest of America is upon us. Don Pedro de Mendoza has obtained permission from the king to found a city at the edge of the world.
"Around the uneven palisade that crowns the plateau facing the river, the Indians' fires crackle day and night."
It is 1536, Buenos Aires is born for the first time.
San Telmo is a neighborhood you don't just walk through, you feel it! Prepare for an unforgettable journey through time, where every cobblestone, every facade, every corner tells the fascinating story of Buenos Aires. San Telmo is the living memory of a city that reinvents itself without forgetting its roots, a vibrant canvas where industrial grandeur merges with colonial legacy, and where the bohemian soul of tango and street art transports us back in time.
On our tour, we'll see iconic landmarks and monuments. Moving along the uneven cobblestones will bring back sounds and textures from a time when love, politics, and business were conducted slowly in a large, timeless village.
