Description

Join us on an unforgettable journey through two of Buenos Aires' most iconic fairs, each showcasing unique aspects of Argentine culture. Your adventure begins in the morning with a meet-up at the Tangol Tours office in San Telmo. First, wander the San Telmo Antique Fair, where over 270 stalls offer vintage furniture, Argentine crafts, leather goods, and more. Stroll through the Mercado de San Telmo, a place filled with souvenirs and artisanal goods. Then, head southwest to the Mataderos Fai. With stalls featuring handcrafted goods like ponchos, blankets, and silver, you'll also have the chance to try traditional foods like empanadas and locro. Enjoy folk music, and local games before returning to San Telmo to conclude the tour. Alternatively, you can opt for a solo visit to the Mataderos Fair, immersing yourself fully in the region’s gaucho heritage and vibrant cultural experiences.
