Hi, I'm Clarisa, a Geography teacher, a passionate runner, and a naturally curious traveler 🌎✨ I deeply believe in education as a tool for transformation and in walking (or running 😉) places to truly get to know them. Running taught me discipline and self-improvement; travel taught me to see the world with respect and curiosity. I recently traveled through the Middle East and India, and I came back more eager than ever to share stories, cultures, and flavors. I love discovering the essence of each place… and today I want to invite you to discover mine ❤️ Come explore La Plata with me: its perfect layout, its diagonal streets, its history, its secrets, its architecture, and those hidden corners that don't appear in guidebooks. It's not just a tour; it's walking the city with a geographical perspective, with anecdotes, context, and passion. Will you join me in discovering my beautiful city?

Tour description

The city of La Plata was born as a modern and ambitious project. Our Historical Tour invites you to explore its most emblematic spaces to understand the magnitude of that founding vision.

We begin in Plaza Moreno, the symbolic center of the city and the scene of its founding in 1882. There stand the imposing Cathedral of La Plata, a neo-Gothic jewel and spiritual symbol, and the Municipal Palace of La Plata, a reflection of the institutional order that shaped the new capital.

We continue along Avenida 51 to the Teatro Argentino de La Plata, a cultural landmark of the city, whose history combines splendor, loss and reconstruction.

The route continues towards Plaza San Martín, where the Buenos Aires Province Legislature and the Buenos Aires Province Government House are located, consolidating the city's political role as the provincial capital.

We finished in La Plata Soho, where history meets contemporary life.

A journey to discover how one of the most emblematic planned capitals in Latin America was born and consolidated.
