Description

A walking tour in the north of Buenos Aires city. Knowing an area that was and still is a symbol of the European Buenos Aires at the end of the 19th century and of the social and cultural changes of our country. A tour in the north of Palermo neighborhood in the Palermo Mosque, also known as the Islamic Cultural Center “Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd”, the largest Islamic temple in Latin America. Discover an area designed to the taste of the upper class of Buenos Aires, who wished to leave behind the Spanish colonial past and give way to a new identity more associated with the European and sophisticated way of life. To this end, several infrastructure projects were carried out in the city to modernize it. This tour will take you to several of these iconic locations of the city, among them the Palermo Hippodrome. Architectural and cultural jewel of the city, where several iconic characters of the porteño history walked along the track, from the famous tango singer Carlos Gardel to international figures such as Elton John.
