Description

This is a journey through the time and history of Buenos Aires, going back in time to understand the present and enjoy today’s Argentina with all the senses. This itinerary is ideal to understand the history of Argentina by getting to know the city of Buenos Aires as the main axis of the development of the region. An itinerary that allows us to learn and understand to a great extent the history of the whole of Argentina from the influence and contributions made by different waves of immigration, the reasons that motivated their movement and how history is reflected in the deepest part of the local culture. Considering the temporality and the events that marked history, we will be able to see from the social and cultural contribution of the Jesuit Missions and the establishment of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, which would later be overthrown by the Liberator army to give birth to Argentina as a Nation, to the arrival of an enormous number of European immigrants that gave rise to the first mestizations that finally ended up shaping the local population.

A Fascinating Dive into Argentine History

This 5-day tour in Buenos Aires was a fantastic journey into the heart of Argentine history and culture. The itinerary was thoughtfully arranged to show both southern and northern areas of the city, each offering unique insights into different historical eras. Our guides were passionate and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing history to life at every stop—from the old immigrant neighborhoods in La Boca to the grand buildings of the "Generation of the 80s." The accommodations were comfortable, and the evening tango dinner was a beautiful highlight. I left with a deep appreciation for Buenos Aires and its vibrant, layered history.
