Tour description

We will meet at the intersection of San Juan Avenue and Defensa Street. I will be on the corner with my yellow umbrella. From there, we will begin the tour, passing by an old immigrant tenement house, then heading to Plaza Dorrego, the center of San Telmo, where we may see a couple dancing tango in the street. Afterwards we'll enter the San Telmo Market where we can discover antiques and delicious food as well as imagine the life of immigrants in these vibrant hallways. We will walk through the smallest house in Buenos Aires and reach the iconic statue of Mafalda. Afterwards we will march to the Nuestra Señora del Rosario church and talk about the English invasions.

Slowly we will say goodbye to San Telmo. On the way to Plaza de Mayo, we will pass by the imposing Otto Wulff building, an expression of the Art Nouveau style of Buenos Aires in the early 19th century. We will also discuss the contrast between the north and south of the city and the emergence of French academic-style palaces that shaped Buenos Aires as a city with a Parisian appearance. We will also stop at the restaurant and bar “El Querandí,” famous for its tango shows, and talk about the history and legends of tango. If you haven't decided which tango show to attend, I will show you the different options.

We´ll also stop in the ¨Block of enlightment¨ which is one of the oldest construction in BA and a museum nowadays. (this is also a stop to use the restrooms)
Already in Plaza de Mayo we{ll admire the Cabildo, the Cathedral, the beautiful Banco Nacion (former Teatro Colon) and of course the Casa Rosada.

The glamor of Puerto Madero awaits us. We'll enter this vibrant and seductive neighborhood, with its famous Woma's Bridge, its great restaurants and bars, the dock with its sailboats.

This is the ideal location to end the tour. You'll have a great variety of bars and restaurants, you will be able to choose a place to have lunch, dinner, a cocktail, coffee, watch the sunset and end up falling in love with this magical city. Don't forget to bring a light jacket.
