Escape the standard tourist agencies and discover Palermo SoHo from an anthropological perspective. This is not a passive walk-and-listen tour. Be prepared to chat, question, and discuss the past, present, and future of the “coolest” neighborhood in Buenos Aires.
Beginning at the Distrito Arcos Premium Outlet and ending in the vibrant Plaza Serrano, this walking experience is a journey past the trendy facades of Palermo SoHo to uncover the neighborhood’s true core.
What does the train and the tram have to do with the origin of this neighborhood? Who were its first inhabitants? When did Palermo become “SoHo” and get filled with tourists, “chic” bars & restaurants, avocado toasts and sourdough bakeries? What is Real Estate speculation and why is it related to the Argentine Peso devaluation? What is the deal with the crazy two exchange rates?
These are just some of the many questions we will try to answer in our walk through the most “hip” part of Buenos Aires.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We will meet by the amphitheater of Distrito Arcos (Av. Juan B. Justo 634). This is an open air mall right under Palermo train station. It is a very easy place to find and we can use the restrooms before we start walking.
We will end by Plaza Serrano, heart of Palermo SOHO. Exactly by the big letters of "PALERMO".
