We will walk through the "Aristocratic Elbow of Buenos Aires", a corner where European luxury and the pulse of work converge. This tour is an immersion in Retiro, the neighborhood where the Creole elite sought refuge after the yellow fever of 1871, building empires on the cobblestones.
What we will discover:
- Architecture of Power: We will admire the majestic Palacio Paz, the Palacio San Martín and the iconic Kavanagh Building, while wondering: who lived on those balconies and what treaties were signed in their halls?
- Immigration Stories: We will visit the Retiro Station and the Monumental Tower, remembering those who arrived with suitcases full of hope.
- Landmarks and Emotion: We will visit San Martín Square, the Malvinas Cenotaph and the exclusive Arroyo Street.
- Local Culture: We will talk about faith in the Basilica of the Blessed Sacrament and the luxury of the former Harrods.
Exclusive Benefit: If you want to fully immerse yourself in our culture, you can request your FREE MATE experience via WhatsApp before the tour.
