Tours & Activities in Buenos Aires
Everything you need to know about Buenos Aires in three hours.
On this tour we will explore the heart of the city and will talk and learn about the fascinating political history of the Argentinian capital.
From life before the colonial times, the struggle and war of independence, and the waves of immigrants that forever changed the face of the city and the country. The “barn of the world” and how one of the richest countries of the world in the wake of the 20th ended in one of the biggest economic crises of the planet a century later. The lights and shadows behind the myth of the “Europe of the Americas”.
Tango, football, literature, psychotherapy, politics, dictatorships, and resistance, the history of Argentina has all of the ingredients for a passionate drama. And that reflects onto its population.
