Sarmiento 1701 - We start with a pickup of around 8pm, depending on the day, with our first stop at a ‘cafe notable’ (historical cafe/bar) . Here we’ll enjoy some traditional Argentine fare, including:
-
Picada (charcuterie - all cafe notables have a wide variety of plates to choose from)
-
Tortilla (this version of the frittata is originally an import of the Spanish immigrants)
-
Salad -to say we’re ‘eating healthy’ :)
-
Perhaps a glass of the country’s most famous export - Malbec.
Note: Food from the picada, tortilla, small plates, & salad menu, plus 1 drink at the cafe notable are included in the tour price.
While enjoying all the tastes, you’ll learn the history & culture of tango: from its beginnings when early Eurpoean immigrants first arrived here - to its peak in the 40s when tango orchestras played as far as Hollywood - to going underground in the 70’s due to politics - to tango now, a blend of traditonal & ‘nuevo’ styles, as dancers from abroad influence Argentina’s signature dance
- Maipú 365 - Then we’re off to a nearby Milonga (tango dance hall) where we can relax comfortably & enjoy the scene. The dance is just one aspect of tango culture, albeit an extremely beautiful one. The music, the culture, & the social etiquette are all fascinating to experience while inside the milonga. We’ll make every effort to take you to where there is also a show - either a live orquestra or a short tango dance performance. Please keep in mind that these shows often don’t start until around 11pm.
We will be choosing from a short list of high quality Milongas that will give you a very good sense of the beautiful tradition of Tango. Which one we go to will depend on on the day, as the Milonga schedule varies day to day. Then we’ll transport you back to your abode, where you can relive the memories of this remarkable night!
- Private transportation
- Variety of local cuisine including picada, tortilla, small plates, & salad
- One drink included at Cafe Notable
- All fees and taxes covered
- All food & drink at the milonga plus any additional food that’s NOT on the above mentioned menu
Immerse yourself deeply in what Argentine Tango has to offer. This local variety of ‘eating & stepping’ serves as a fantastic alternative to the conventional tango dinner performance ;)
The journey begins with a pick-up around 8 pm, depending on the day. Initially, at a recognized historic café, we will indulge in traditional Argentine food such as Picada (akin to charcuterie), Spanish omelette (the local style of frittata), & maybe a glass of the nation’s most celebrated export - Malbec. During this culinary spread, you will be enlightened about the history & essence of tango.
Next, our journey continues at a Milonga (tango dance hall) situated nearby. Here we can sit back, relax and soak up the bustling environment. We are committed to ensuring your visit also includes a show - be it a live band or a brief tango dance act. Please bear in mind that these performances usually kick off at 10pm or later. Ride back is incorporated.
To Be in Buenos Aires is facilitated by a girl from the Canadian prairies whose Argentine adventure commenced with a tango night, synonymous with this one…
