The spirit of travel

Buenos Aires welcomes you in all its vibrancy: elegant avenues, cobblestone alleys of San Telmo, colorful facades of La Boca, tango as a backdrop. An escape to the peaceful waters of the Tigre delta offers a first breath of fresh air, between canals and stilt houses. Then set course for the pampas, where a traditional estancia opens you to gaucho traditions on horseback — rides, asado and wide open spaces. A stay that captures, in one week, the contrasting faces of Argentina: urban, wild and rural.

Buenos Aires: visit to the historic center, San Telmo and La Boca

With your English-speaking private guide, you begin exploring Buenos Aires at the Plaza de Mayo. Facing the Casa Rosada, the colonial Cabildo and the Cathedral, your guide traces the major stages of Argentine independence and political struggles.

You continue on foot along the Avenida de Mayo, passing by Belle Époque-style cafés, until you reach the National Congress.

The visit continues in San Telmo, one of the oldest neighborhoods of the capital. Through the cobbled streets, you discover colonial houses, antique shops, the covered market and artist studios. On the Plaza Dorrego, you experience the lively atmosphere of the neighborhood and its tango culture.

You then head to La Boca by local transport. In Caminito, the colorful houses, tango dancers and murals accompany your walk. Your guide tells you the working-class history of the neighborhood, its ties to Italian immigration and the residents' attachment to the Boca Juniors club.

Throughout the tour, his explanations blend history, culture and contemporary life. The itinerary remains flexible, to adapt to your interests and pace.

Navigation in the Paraná Delta in Tigre

Close to Buenos Aires, you discover the Delta Du Paraná, a landscape of islands, forests and river branches. Here, travel is by water and houses are nestled among the trees, along the riverbanks.

You embark on a boat ride through the delta. During the journey, you observe the island landscapes, fishermen and colorful stilt houses. Herons can also be spotted along the water's edge.

The delta is home to many migratory birds and aquatic plants, as well as capybaras and some caimans. This discovery allows you to experience an environment where the life of its inhabitants remains closely linked to the rivers and nature.

Late in the morning, you head to Palermo, with its bohemian and contemporary atmosphere. Lunch takes place in Palermo Soho, where traditional parrillas and fusion cuisine restaurants stand side by side. You then continue exploring the neighborhood among independent fashion boutiques, street art and vintage decoration. Colorful frescoes, artisanal shops and cafés punctuate your walk.

In the evening, head to Palacio Tango, housed in a Belle Époque style palace and dedicated to the world of Astor Piazzolla.
