Description

Discover the history of tango, the culture of the city, and the way of life of the 'porteños' on this walking tour along the popular Corrientes Street, 'the street that never sleeps.' Travel through time to discover the history of tango, the artistic bohemia, and the cultural scene of the city's golden age. Walking through Corrientes Street, in the downtown area of Buenos Aires, uncover the traces that history left in the city, in its bars, facades, buildings, and theaters. Visit an authentic 'milonga porteña' to understand how the locals experience tango. Tango was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Born in the neighborhood of La Boca, in the port area, it expanded towards the 'downtown' of the city and reached Corrientes Street to live out its golden age there. Corrientes is the bohemia of the 1940s, it's Gardel, tango, and nightlife. It's also one of the 1960s and early 1970s, with its political, cultural, and literary discussions in the bars and cafes of the most emblematic corners. It's the Corrientes of the bookstores that stay open late, the one of the art cinemas, and the one of the pizzerias that lower their shutters even in the early hours of the morning.
