Day 2 - Exploring Buenos Aires & Navigation on the Tigre Delta

Traveling along the main avenues of Buenos Aires, we will embark on a journey through the city’s most iconic neighborhoods: Recoleta, Retiro, San Nicolás, Montserrat, San Telmo, and La Boca. Each neighborhood offers a unique experience and a window into the rich history and culture of Buenos Aires. In Recoleta, we’ll admire luxurious palaces and the elegance of Avenida Alvear, while Retiro and San Nicolás showcase some of the city's most recognizable landmarks, such as the majestic Teatro Colón and the imposing Obelisco, symbols of local identity. San Telmo will take us along its narrow, cobbled streets filled with history, antiques, and the bohemian essence of the city. Montserrat and historic Plaza de Mayo immerse us in the political and cultural heart of Buenos Aires, with emblematic buildings and a fascinating past. Finally, in La Boca we’ll discover the famous and colorful Caminito street, full of art, tango, and tradition, and stroll through the modern revitalized area of Puerto Madero, with its contemporary architecture, top-tier restaurants, and waterfront promenade reflecting the city's urban transformation.

We will take a boat tour through the Paraná River Delta in the Tigre area, navigating its internal channels that form labyrinths. Afterwards, we will explore the northern residential suburbs of the city. To get to Tigre, we will take a bus heading north. Along the way, we will pass parks, Jorge Newbery Airport, and the River Plate stadium. Once in Tigre, we board a boat to begin navigating the Delta, passing islands, islets, rivers, and streams. We will connect with wildlife, observing native flora and fauna in a 16,500 km² area mostly covered by subtropical jungle. The Paraná Delta originates in the province of Entre Ríos and is divided into three main sections: Upper, Middle, and Lower Delta. It empties into the Lower Delta at the Río de la Plata. We will also visit the exclusive neighborhood of San Isidro, including the early 20th-century Gothic Cathedral (optional) and its historic center.

Day 3 - Walking through Recoleta

Walking through the Recoleta Neighborhood

In this tour, we will immerse ourselves in the elegant and mysterious soul of Recoleta, one of the most emblematic neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. For two hours, we will walk among aristocratic mansions, architectural gems, and spaces filled with history, art, and secrets to discover. We begin our walk in front of the Church of Our Lady of Carmen, from where we delve into the colonial past and urban evolution of the neighborhood. We cross Rodríguez Peña Square, a green space with history, and continue towards the imposing Pizzurno Palace, home to the Ministry of Education and an example of Buenos Aires architectural eclecticism. Then, we approach the Tango Promenade, where the spirit of the 2x4 comes alive in the heart of Recoleta, and visit the magnificent Ateneo Grand Splendid, a former theater converted into one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. We continue to the monumental Palacio de Aguas Corrientes, a true cathedral of 19th-century engineering, covered in glazed ceramics and full of urban history. Finally, we pass by the buildings of the Faculties of Medicine and Economics, icons of the city’s and country’s educational development. Throughout the walk, we will discover anecdotes, legends, and little-known details that make Recoleta a unique place, where history, culture, and Buenos Aires elegance intertwine in every corner.

Walking through the Recoleta Neighborhood: La Isla

On this tour we will together discover one of the most elegant and unknown corners of Recoleta: the sector known as "La Isla", a small urban oasis that surprises by its tranquility, its architecture and its history. During two hours, we will walk through two irregular blocks that hide secrets of influential families, ambitious projects and a unique urban transformation. Our walk begins at the corner of Av. Pueyrredón and Guido, from where we delve into this charming sector that was once a large country estate owned by the American businessman Samuel Brown Hale, who settled here in 1847. Later, his heirs will sell these lands, giving rise to the neighborhood as we know it today. We will wander through sloping streets, hidden passages and unexpected viewpoints, while talking about figures such as Cornelio Saavedra Jr., who built his residence here after the fall of Rosas, and families like the Unzué, a symbol of the landowning aristocracy, who acquired one of the most coveted lots in 1887. Between anecdotes, stately architecture and the charming silence of its streets, we will connect with a different Buenos Aires, where the European and the porteño intertwine in a unique atmosphere. We invite you to walk with us through La Isla, an exclusive corner that invites you to stop and look with other eyes at the history and beauty of the city.

Day 4 - Walking through San Telmo & Puerto Madero

Walking through the San Telmo Neighborhood

On this tour, we are going to dive into the heart of San Telmo, the oldest neighborhood of Buenos Aires. For three hours, we will discover its colonial past, its evolution as a cultural melting pot, and the impact of Tango on its identity. We begin in front of the Pirámide de Mayo and walk toward the imposing Otto Wulff Building and the Convent of Santo Domingo, protagonist of the English Invasions. Then, we tour the “Paseo de la Historieta”, where Mafalda awaits us — an icon of the neighborhood and of Argentine comics. We continue to the enigmatic Zanjón de Granados (no access) and the curious Casa Mínima, the narrowest house in the city. We also visit the Parish of San Pedro González Telmo, Plaza Dorrego — the neighborhood’s center and stage of the traditional fair — and the elegant Casa Ezeiza. We approach the Museum of Modern Art, where contemporary art dialogues with the industrial history of the neighborhood, and the Old Solar de French, home of the vibrant San Telmo Fair. We close the tour at the Penitentiary Museum “Antonio Ballvé”, which shows us a less known side of the city. Throughout the tour, we will live the authentic spirit of San Telmo: its history, its characters, its art, and its unique energy.

Walking through the Puerto Madero Neighborhood

On this tour we're going to discover together Puerto Madero, the most modern neighborhood of Buenos Aires, where contemporary architecture merges with port history and the natural beauty of the Río de la Plata. We will walk through an area that was a symbol of neglect and today is one of the most elegant, dynamic, and representative spaces of the city. We begin our walk at the Pirámide de Mayo and from there head to the Monument to Brown, to talk about the naval and patriotic spirit that shaped port development. Then, we look at the imposing Palacio Libertad (former CCK), an icon of institutional and cultural architecture in Buenos Aires. We enter Puerto Madero proper, touring the docks, where we will learn about the history of the old port and the context of the three ports of the city. There, the original cranes rise as witnesses of the industrial past, contrasting with modern curtain‑wall architecture towers, like the YPF Tower and the Hilton Hotel. Facing the river, we visit the historic Corbeta Uruguay, a ship symbolic of scientific explorations and naval missions. Next, we cross Mujeres Argentinas Park, a green space that pays tribute to great women figures from our history. We pass by the Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur (we see it from outside), an incredible natural lung right in the urban center, and approach the emblematic Puente de la Mujer, work of architect Santiago Calatrava and a symbol of the neighborhood. Very close by is the Fragata Sarmiento, another naval treasure that has accompanied generations of Argentine sailors. Finally, we close our tour at the steps leading toward the Casa Rosada, with a panoramic view of the contrast between past and present, river and city. Throughout the tour we will speak of architecture, history, urbanism, art and environment, discovering how Puerto Madero transformed into a true urban landmark and a must‑visit for those wanting to understand the contemporary essence of Buenos Aires.

Day 5 - Walking through Palermo & Tango Dinner Show

Walking through the Palermo Neighborhood

On this tour, we will immerse ourselves together in the bohemian heart of Buenos Aires: Palermo Soho. We will walk through its vibrant streets, full of independent design shops, craft workshops, and spaces dedicated to local music and culture. Here, art is lived on every corner, especially through its murals, which will surprise us with their variety of techniques and intense colors, reflecting an urban art in constant transformation, ready to challenge every viewer. As we explore this peaceful yet elegant corner of the city, we’ll discover how Palermo Soho has become a meeting point for creatives and lovers of authenticity, a place where tradition and modernity coexist in harmony. It will be an experience full of stories, colors, and sounds that invite us to connect with the most free-spirited and artistic side of Buenos Aires.

Tango Dinner Show in the Buenos Aires Night

In the evening we enjoy a dinner and Tango show at one of the best venues of Buenos Aires ( Homero Manzi / Complejo Tango / Señor Tango / La Esquina de Carlos Gardel / Madero Tango). The Tango has a special charm outside of its origin: From New York to Sydney, people that have never visited Argentina are left seduced by its mystique and sensuality. Others stay captivated by the music. This original tour traces in parallel the history of the city and that of the tango journeying by its different stages of development from its birth in the slums, to its consummation in the Avenida Corrientes and its later internationalization.

Day 6 - Teatro Colón & Porteña Domes

Visiting the iconic Teatro Colón

Considered one of the finest opera houses in the world, the Teatro Colón is a true cultural icon of Buenos Aires. Renowned for its exceptional acoustics and stunning architecture, it stands alongside other great opera venues such as La Scala in Milan, the Opéra Garnier in Paris, and the Royal Opera House in London. Its construction took over 20 years and was the result of the work of three architects: Francesco Tamburini, Víctor Meano, and Jules Dormal. Finally inaugurated in 1908, the Colón welcomed some of the greatest figures in music and dance throughout the 20th century, including Igor Stravinsky, Herbert von Karajan, Daniel Barenboim, Maria Callas, Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and Rudolf Nureyev, among many others. In 2010, the theater reopened its doors after an ambitious restoration that preserved every detail of its original splendor, reaffirming its status as an architectural and acoustic jewel in the heart of the city.

Discovering the Porteña Domes

Hidden and silent amidst a contemporary and bustling setting, 19th and 20th century Buenos Aires awaits to be discovered, taking you back to a time of splendor when the low city by the muddy river dared to dream of reaching the skies. To make this journey through time possible, art, architecture, and history come together along the majestic Av. de Mayo, with its Spanish and French airs, and in the downtown galleries that seem frozen in a bygone era of glass and gold, of whispers in Latin, and of figures that watch us from the walls — immortalized by the skilled eye of the artist and turned into silent witnesses of the daily rhythm of this metropolis, a true synonym of movement.

Day 7 - Field Day in a Farm in Buenos Aires Province

This is a very popular excursion. We take a trip to a large country estancia of more than 2,000 acres that is dedicated principally to agriculture but has become an excellent tourist site showing some of the renown Argentinean country culture. We are received in the general store with empanadas and red wine and then can visit the estancia museum and chapel. At lunch we are treated to a country barbecue. We also have the opportunity to see a Tango Show and gaucho folklore and dance. Amongst the other activities offered are rides in horse and carts observing the landscapes, their crops and the unequalled charm of the wild and rustic. We finish the day with a spectacular exhibition of typical gaucho horsemanship with a troop of horses.
