Highlights
- Casa Minima - Travellers will see the smallest house in the city of Buenos Aires, where they’ll learn about the path to freedom and the organization of the Afro-Argentines after the end of slavery.
- San Telmo - We will make a stop in a traditional place in the heart of the colonial neighborhood of San Telmo. Here we’ll have a drink and talk about Africa before colonization, as well as the daily lives of the people who worked in the house.
- Plaza Dorrego - We will walk by the square where the most famous antiques market takes place every Sunday
- Parroquia de San Pedro Gonzalez Telmo - One of the oldest in the city. Work began in 1735 and under the expulsion of the jesuits, the Bethlemite religious order continued the work. Also has a museum with pieces dating back over 200 years.
