Thought-provoking and stunning tour - Manu was a wonderful guide. She showed me aspects of the dirty war and the unstable time that preceded it, much of the signs of that time still evident and visible in the areas of the center of Buenos Aires. I was stunned many times to realize that buildings that I had passed dozens of times had a dark history behind them. The scars of the past are evident everywhere.
