Highlights
Escape the standard tourist agencies and discover Palermo SoHo from an anthropological perspective. This is not a passive walk-and-listen tour. Be prepared to chat, question, and discuss the past, present, and future of the “coolest” neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Beginning at the Distrito Arcos Premium Outlet and ending in the vibrant Plaza Serrano, this walking experience is a journey past the trendy facades of Palermo SoHo to uncover the neighborhood’s true core. What does the train and the tram have to do with the origin of this neighborhood? Who were its first inhabitants? When did Palermo become “SoHo” and get filled with tourists, “chic” bars & restaurants, avocado toasts and sourdough bakeries? What is Real Estate speculation and why is it related to the Argentine Peso devaluation? What is the deal with the crazy two exchange rates? These are just some of the many questions we will try to answer in our walk through the most “hip” part of Buenos Aires.

About Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is Argentina's elegant, passionate capital, a city of grand boulevards, tango halls, leafy barrios and late-night steak dinners.
The Plaza de Mayo, framed by the pink Casa Rosada and the Metropolitan Cathedral, is the historic heart of the city, and the vast Avenida 9 de Julio leads to the Obelisk. The Teatro Colón, one of the great opera houses, and the grand cafés of Avenida de Mayo recall the city's golden age.
