Join our La Boca + San Telmo History Walk to explore the heart of Buenos Aires' rich history and culture. Starting in San Telmo, known for cobbled streets, immigrant architecture, and a vibrant food scene, we begin with a mate-tasting experience in a centennial building. Then, visit the historic San Telmo Market, offering ethnic foods, fresh produce, and unique trinkets.

Next, discover La Boca, the port where European immigrants arrived, shaping the city forever. Explore its vibrant Latin atmosphere, historic communal housing, and learn about the Afro-Argentine community's vital role in Buenos Aires' culture and history.

Our expert guides will delve into the city's immigrant era, black history, culinary culture, tango, Lunfardo slang, and the fusion of art and politics. Visit landmarks like Dorrego Square, Defensa Street, Caminito Street, the old port, and see the iconic Boca Juniors Stadium.

Join us for an unforgettable journey through Buenos Aires!
