Buenos Aires, DECODED

This is a private, boutique walking tour designed to give context. We focus on history, politics, and national identity as tools to understand Buenos Aires beyond its surface, and to make sense of Argentina as a country.

Led by locals born and raised in Argentina, whose first cultural language is this place, the experience offers an insider perspective on the city’s symbols, contradictions, and turning points.

We walk through the historic center and key neighborhoods, connecting landmarks with everyday life, past events with present habits, and personal questions with broader narratives. The pace is calm and flexible, allowing space for conversation, detours, and the questions that naturally come up when encountering a new place for the first time.

This experience is ideal for first-time visitors who want a strong cultural and historical foundation for their time in Argentina.

Why this experience is different

This is a private, boutique walking tour designed around context, explanation, and conversation, offering a clear cultural and historical framework to understand Buenos Aires and Argentina as a country.

We are locals, born and raised in Argentina, whose first cultural language is this place, with codes that are native and deeply ingrained. That perspective shapes how we read the city’s history, symbols, contradictions, and turning points.

The walk creates space for questions: connecting landmarks with everyday life, past events with present habits, and personal curiosity with broader political, social, and cultural processes. Instead of rushing through highlights, we move at a thoughtful pace, allowing meaning to build through explanation, dialogue, and context.

Buenos Aires makes sense when you travel it slowly

Local bars, not touristic stops

Mate isn’t a drink. It’s how conversations start.

Space for questions, contradictions, and curiosity
