Description
Go beyond a simple walk-and-listen tour. This is a conversational journey where you are encouraged to talk, ask questions, and discuss the layered past, present, and future of Argentina’s capital.
Beginning at Lezama Park and concluding at the iconic Casa Rosada, this walking experience decodes the cityscape. We’ll trace the historical roots of contemporary Buenos Aires, using the city itself as our guidebook.
Who were the first inhabitants? Why were the British so intent on invading these shores? What happened to Buenos Aires’ significant African-descendant population? How did Argentina become a nation of immigrants? What is the deal with Evita and Perón? Who were the desaparecidos, and how does their memory shape modern Argentina? Why does the US dollar hold such power over the local economy?
These are not just historical trivia; they are the essential questions that unlock the soul of the city. Join us for a walk through the most historic district of Buenos Aires, where we’ll work together to find the answers.
