Overview
Unravel the secrets of the Buenos Aires Belle Époque with the rigor of a historian! I'm Walter, and I invite you to a journey through the period (1880-1930) that defined our identity. More than a walk, it is an immersion in the European obsession that transformed a colonial village into a world metropolis.
Our Road Map:
- Plaza de Mayo: The heart of the dream of the "Paris del Plata" and the economic model that sustained it.
- The Social Theater: We will walk along Diagonal Norte and Florida streets to understand where the elite went to "see and be seen".
- The Invisible Border: We will cross to the south to discover how large mansions became "conventillos" after the yellow fever epidemic.
- Gastronomic Curiosities: Learn about the anarchist origin of the traditional Argentinean bakery in front of a historical place.
- Plaza Dorrego: Close in the heart of San Telmo with the best local recommendations.
- There may be a delicious surprise during the tour!
Why is this tour different?
- Historian Guide: Documentary based stories, no scripts from memory.
- Unique Visual Material: We will use maps and archival photos to compare "yesterday vs. today" in real time.
