Puerto Madero - From port failure to tourism success

Puerto Madero: From port failure to tourism success

On this tour we will explore the newest and at the same time one of the oldest neighborhoods in the City of Buenos Aires: Puerto Madero

We'll begin our tour at the Juana Azurduy monument, enjoying a unique view of the historic center to our right and a broad panorama of Puerto Madero to our left. This setting allows us to understand and put the Puerto Madero neighborhood into context.

We'll discuss the curious story of how a failed port transformed itself into a thriving tourist destination and a cutting-edge neighborhood over the decades.

From the original plan's desire to demonstrate power and money, its subsequent abandonment, and its rediscovery in the 1990s, the neighborhood now home to the city's best restaurants.

We'll take a scenic walk through the picturesque canals of Puerto Madero, the iconic warships ARA Sarmiento and ARA Uruguay and their stories, and the Women's Bridge, a symbol of the neighborhood.

We'll explore the residential areas of Puerto Madero, along with historic structures from the old port, now converted into museums and art galleries. We'll also explore the neighborhood's relationship with the city center and have the opportunity to appreciate the impressive views of the historic center from Puerto Madero.

And we'll talk about the development of the avant-garde architecture that they brought to the neighborhood.

A failure transformed into a success.
