Description

Escape tourist agencies and discover Buenos Aires from an anthropological point of view. Do not expect to just walk and listen: be prepared to talk, ask questions, and discuss the past, present, and future of Argentina’s capital. Beginning at Plaza San Martín and ending at Recoleta Cemetery, this walk offers you the chance to explore this beautiful city through its historical past in an attempt to understand its present. Why was Buenos Aires called the ‘Paris of South America’? Who ‘inhabits’ the Recoleta Cemetery, and what mysteries does it contain? What was the ‘Belle Époque,’ and how did it change the city? What was the role of large landowners in the development of the country? Was Argentina really a global economic power at some point? These are just some of the many questions you will try to answer on your walk through the most aristocratic part of town. Please note that this tour may be slightly modified at the guide's discretion due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
