Heart of the City - Lights & Shadows of Argentina's History

Overview of the tour in Buenos Aires

From life before the colonial times, the struggle and war of independence, the attempt to exterminate the indigenous and the Afro-Argentinians, and the waves of immigrants that forever changed the face of the city and the country.

The “barn of the world” and how one of the richest countries on earth in the wake of the 20th ended in one of the biggest economic crises of the planet a century later.

The lights and shadows behind the myth of the “Europe of the Americas”.

Tango, football, literature, psychotherapy, politics, dictatorships, and resistance, the history of Argentina has all of the ingredients for a passionate drama. And that reflects onto its population.

“To me, Buenos Aires is eternal, like water or air“ ( as the famed writer Jorge Luis Borges once said)

Why does the seemingly never-ending energy of the city keep mystifying onlookers and energizing passers-by?

The Palace of the Parliament

Metropolitan cathedral

On arrival

We meet at the main entrance of the Argentine Senate. I'm usually the only person just standing there so shouldn't be hard to find me.
