Duration2:
3.5 Hours
Time:
8:45 AM to 12:15 PM
This tour leads you to the various markets which are held in very famous places in Buenos Aires. First stop will be made in La Boca which is literally Buenos Aires' most colorful barrio. It was settled and built up by Italian immigrants along the Riachuelo, a sinuous waterway. Much of La Boca's color springs from the brightly painted houses and corrugated metal roofs of the Caminito, a popular pedestrian walk and former rail terminus that takes its name from a popular tango. At the Caminito, painters are offering their pictures representing Caminito Street or typical tango scenes. At the end of the Caminito, guests will find a market offering handicrafts. Continuing our tour you will reach the next barrio San Telmo which is an artist's quarter where bohemians find large spaces at low rents. San Telmo is the best kept historical neighborhood and oldest district of Buenos Aires. Here you have time to stroll around Plaza Dorrego, where you can find many antique shops. On Sundays Plaza Dorrego is a "MUST", as then there is an antique market. Finally you will visit Recoleta. Among the areas to which the upper-class portenos of San Telmo relocated after the yellow fever epidemic of the 1870s, Recoleta is today one of Buenos Aires' most fashionable districts. At the cemetery of Recoleta you will find the grave of Eva Duarte who became famous as Eva Peron (Evita). The cemetery is the center of this aristocratic district. Here you will find the Municipal Cultural Center, elegant boutiques and excellent restaurants, surrounded by centennial trees. During the weekend on the Plaza Francia a handicraft market is held and many street artists are representing their skills. PRIVATE EXCURSION: The standard price listed is for a private excursion which means you will not be joining others on this tour.
