What to expect
Our first stop takes us to one of the neighborhood’s landmarks: San Pedro Telmo Parish. From the outside, we take in its striking colonial architecture while sharing a bit of its history, dating back to the 18th century. It’s the first step in connecting with the old soul of San Telmo.
One of the oldest and most iconic green spaces in the city, located in the San Telmo neighborhood. Its landscaped design, with winding paths, classical sculptures, and large trees, invites a relaxed stroll. At its center stands the Monument to Don Pedro de Mendoza, founder of the first Buenos Aires in 1536, accompanied by a fountain and bas-reliefs depicting scenes from his expedition. It's a place rich in history and a key landmark in the development of the city’s southern area.
Located in the La Boca neighborhood, the Alberto J. Armando Stadium, known as La Bombonera, is one of the most iconic football venues in the world. Inaugurated in 1940, its unique design, with three curved stands and one straight one, sets it apart. It is the home of Club Atlético Boca Juniors, where passionate matches reflect the fervor of its fans.
Located in the colorful La Boca neighborhood, Caminito Street is one of Buenos Aires' most visited tourist spots. With its vibrant architecture, featuring brightly painted metal houses, it’s a pedestrian street that reflects the essence of tango and local culture. On this iconic street, you can see street artists, tango dancers, and local art vendors, creating a lively and unique atmosphere.
Rio de la Plata
We hop on a boat for a unique ride along the Río de la Plata. We set off from the historic mouth of the Riachuelo and cruise along the waterfront toward the modern skyline of Puerto Madero. It’s a different way to experience Buenos Aires—between the echoes of the past and the pulse of the present.
The Women’s Bridge is one of the most modern and iconic structures in Buenos Aires, located in the redeveloped Puerto Madero area. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, this pedestrian bridge has a shape that evokes a couple dancing tango, one of the city’s most representative symbols. Inaugurated in 2001, it stands out for its movement, as it can rotate on its axis to allow boats to pass. It’s a true icon of contemporary Buenos Aires architecture.
As our final stop, we pause in front of the striking Palacio Libertad to take in one of the most stunning views of Buenos Aires. On one side, the historic Casa Rosada; on the other, the sleek skyscrapers of Puerto Madero. It’s the perfect contrast that captures the city’s transformation—an ideal way to end the tour.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
