Itinerary
The May Square is located in the Porteño Downtown, neighborhood of Monserrat, in the area where the foundation of Buenos Aires took place. The Plaza de Mayo is the most important and oldest public square of the city. The name of this square commemorates the Revolution of May 25, 1810, date in which the citizens gathered around to expel the Viceroy and formed a creole government. Since then, the Square has been a silent witness to the most important political and social events in the country.
Pass by: San Telmo is an old neighborhood with a bohemian touch thanks to its temporary art galleries, night bars and street murals. The Defensa street, full of antique shops and bustling brasseries, passes through the Dorrego square, where many tourists come on Sundays to see the street market and street performances. Winding roads run through Lezama Park among jacaranda trees. The neighborhood is full of exclusive restaurants with tango shows.
La Boca is a working class neighborhood that has several attractions next to the Riachuelo. Asadores and street artists mark the entire Caminito, a narrow alley flanked by brightly colored zinc houses that evoke its origin as an immigrant neighborhood. The Bombonera is the Boca Juniors stadium and a whole hotbed on match days. The Proa Foundation is a museum of modern art with temporary exhibitions and views of the old docks.
Pass by: Caminito is a museum alley and a traditional passage, of great cultural and tourist value, located in the La Boca neighborhood of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The place acquired cultural significance because it inspired the music of the famous tango Caminito (1926), composed by Juan de Dios Filiberto.
Pass by: Puerto Madero is a renovated neighborhood that faces the bay. Its renovated redbrick buildings house exclusive grills frequented by tourists and businessmen at lunchtime. There are also modern skyscrapers with multinationals and luxury apartments. The lakes in the area are surrounded by trails, as is the ecological reserve Costanera Sur, very popular with runners and families. The elegant suspension bridge of the Woman connects the ports.
ou will visit inside the Recoleta Cemetery (Ticket entrance included), The tomb of Eva Perón and how distinctive it is from other cemeteries, the Belle Epoque buildings, and you will learn the importance of this neighborhood throughout the history.
We will board our ship and tour around the rivers Luján, San Antonio, Carapachay, Angostura and Sarmiento.
The Puerto de Frutos may sound like a tropical paradise, but it’s actually a charming little pier on the banks of the Luján River in Tigre. Back in the mid-20th century, boats would unload piles of fresh fruit here, straight from the Paraná Delta — basically the old-school version of a farmers’ market with more water and fewer Instagram filters. Today, instead of crates of oranges, you’ll find a bustling market full of crafts, décor, and enough souvenirs to make your suitcase groan.
Back in 1909, the locals decided life needed a little more excitement — so they created a club where everyone could get together, play sports, relax, and, of course, enjoy a touch of European glamour with a fancy casino. Think of it as Tigre’s early version of a country club mixed with a playground for fun and leisure, where rowing oars and roulette wheels went hand in hand.

Great tour: don’t hesitate to book
This was a great tour. It covered so many highlights and we are so glad we booked this for a day. Juan Manuel was our guide and he was welcoming, polite and very knowledgeable on a variety of subjects. The boat ride on the Tigre Delta was great. Driver was great in getting us around safely and slowing die some photo ops where we weren’t stopping. The stories in Recoleta cemetery were great.
