Highlights

Parque Lezama - We will walk through seven iconic spots that have gone down in the history of the Buenos Aires underworld: millionaire bank robberies, emblematic murders, the biggest swindler in Argentina, drug traffickers, thieves who rob thieves, policemen who rob thieves, gunmen who shoot at each other with helicopters. They are peppered with secrets that sources told the journalists in the course of their work, but which never made it into the media. A way to get to know Buenos Aires through the criminal underworld hidden beneath its streets.
Museo Penitenciario Argentino Antonio Ballve - We will learn the stories of the first women’s prison that operated in Argentina and the prisoner who suffered the most from her impossible guards: A group of nuns
Mafalda Statue - VARIOUS STOPS: We will walk through the streets of San Telmo learning the story of Argentina’s most famous thief of the 20th century, who began stealing on the corners of the neighborhood. And of the policeman who became his nemesis
Plaza Dorrego - We close the tour learning about the history of the first “pungas” (pickpocketeers) in Argentina, and the story of how one of them stole a wallet, bypassing the security of the FBI itself.

Additional Information

Buenos Aires has dozens of crime stories to tell, but no tour ever dare to told them. Hampa Tours is the first “True Crime” tour in Argentina.

Over the course of two hours, we will walk the streets of the emblematic Congreso neighbourhood to discover the story of the most dangerous gunman of the ‘80s. We will unveil how the brigades that capture the country’s most dangerous drug lords work, the behind the scenes of a multimillionaire bank robbery, the never told story of a murder that shocked public opinion and a movie-like robbery of one of the safest places in the country: the Congress itself.

The tour is guided by two journalists from the police section of the historic newspaper Clarín, who reported these stories and spoke to the protagonists of each case.

A two-hour tour inside of Buenos Aires’ underworld like no other in the whole city.
