Buenos Aires Highlights and Evening Dinner and Tango Show

Plaza de Mayo - Located in the Porteño Downtown area of Monserrat, Plaza de Mayo is the city’s oldest and most significant public square. It commemorates the May 25, 1810 Revolution, when citizens gathered to expel the Viceroy and establish a local government. The square has since witnessed many of the country’s key political and social events.

San Telmo - San Telmo is a historic neighborhood with a bohemian vibe, featuring temporary art galleries, night bars, and street murals. Defensa Street, lined with antique shops and lively brasseries, leads to Dorrego Square, a popular spot for tourists on Sundays due to its street market and performances. Lezama Park’s winding paths are shaded by jacaranda trees, and the area is known for its exclusive restaurants with tango shows.

La Boca - La Boca is a working-class neighborhood with attractions along the Riachuelo. Caminito, a narrow alley lined with brightly colored zinc houses, reflects its immigrant roots and is filled with asadores and street artists. The Bombonera, Boca Juniors’ stadium, is a hub of activity on match days. The Proa Foundation, a modern art museum, offers temporary exhibitions and views of the old docks.

Caminito - Caminito is a culturally and touristically significant museum alley in La Boca, Buenos Aires. It inspired the famous tango “Caminito” (1926) by Juan de Dios Filiberto.

Puerto Madero - Puerto Madero is a revitalized neighborhood facing the bay, with renovated redbrick buildings housing exclusive grills popular with tourists and businesspeople. Modern skyscrapers host multinational companies and luxury apartments. The area’s lakes are surrounded by trails, including the Costanera Sur ecological reserve, a favorite among runners and families. The elegant Woman’s Bridge connects the ports.

Retiro - Retiro is a diverse neighborhood with quiet streets, art galleries, and chic coffee shops leading to the bustling, British-style Retiro train station. The Kavanagh building’s art deco tower offers views of Plaza San Martín, a park where office workers relax under jacaranda trees and near patriotic monuments. Tourists frequent Florida Street for its leather goods boutiques, souvenir stalls, and tango dancers.

Cementerio de la Recoleta - The Recoleta Cemetery, located in the distinguished Recoleta neighborhood, is famous for its numerous and imposing mausoleums and vaults adorned with marble and sculptures. Inaugurated on November 17, 1822, it contains the tombs of many notable personalities and is a popular tourist attraction, reflecting Argentina’s late 19th-century economic boom.

Calle Balcarce - Visit a traditional tanguería in the heart of San Telmo on the picturesque Balcarce Street. This restored convent offers an intimate setting to experience the true essence of tango.

Very well organized trip - I enjoyed taking this trip. The trip was very well organized. The hotels, especially the ones for Iguazu and Calafate were incredible! The airport pick ups and tour pickups were seamless. Pablo and Eduardo were responsible for my trip organization and they did a fantastic job with organizing my trip.

Great holiday - It is a brilliant experience. The local agent Manuel helped us a lot to make all arrangements, accommodation, domestic flights, etc. All went well and smoothly. Iguazú and Calafate both are amazing in different ways. We had great time , just wish had more days in Calafate and area.

great trip - The main reason, other than the beautiful scenery was our tour guide Pablo. He went above and beyond to accommodate any changes, helping us, having dinner with us and feeling very much a part of the group. he worked tirelessly to ensure every member of the group was happy and included. The trip would not have been as wonderful as it was without him.
