Free tour Retiro and Recoleta: Aristocratic Buenos Aires Argentina — #1
1/6

Overview of the tour in Buenos Aires

Discover the glamour and extravagance of the "Paris of South America" by visiting Retiro and Recoleta. The chosen neighborhoods by Argentina's French-obsessed economic (and oligarchic) elites in the late 1800s and the beginning of the 20th century, where they built 60-room French palaces to show off their wealth and power, and competed for fame and influence.
San Martin and the liberation campaign, the golden age of Argentina, stories of love and revenge that echo through time, quirks, and bizarre facts and habits of Buenos Aires and its people, "los porteños".
Go back into the glamour of the old days, as you learn about Argentina's "Belle Époque", and how their fortunes (and misfortunes) intertwined with the ups and downs of the country throughout the 20th century and until today.

We will see:

San Martín Square:
- Anchorena Palace
- Kavanagh building
- Paz Palace
- Monument to José de San Martín (Argentina's main National Hero)
The Monumental Tower
Arroyo Street
Embassy of France
Embassy of Brazil
