Tour description
Francisco de Flores
An intimate tour of the roots of the Pope who changed history
In the Flores neighborhood, between tree-lined sidewalks and children's playgrounds, a story was born that would change the world. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the boy who played ball in the square, read incessantly, and delivered merchandise on a bicycle, would become Pope Francis.
This free tour invites you to walk through the places where he grew up, to learn not only where he lived, but also how he forged his vocation. An experience that unites history, emotion, and spirituality.
📍 Route:
- Plaza Flores : starting and closing point.
- Childhood home : where his grandmother Rosa taught him to pray.
- Primary school : between notebooks, friends and first letters.
- Herminia Brumana Square : football, leadership and neighborhood.
- Second house : your home until age 21.
- Our Lady of Mercy Institute : its garden and first communion.
- Basilica of San José de Flores : his baptism and the place where he felt the call to faith.
A tour that not only reveals Francis's past, but also the roots of his humility. Walk in his footsteps. Feel his story. Reserve your spot.
