Highlights

Immerse yourself in the history of Caminito and the Tango and learn about the legends that have made this musical genre world-renowned. Your special tango audio walk begins in front of one of the oldest buildings in the area, the National Wax Museum, where your narrator, a personal friend of Carlos Gardel, begins the story. You'll pass by the Pearl Bar, which dates back to 1882. This small restaurant brings back memories for your narrator, who explains how the tango begins. You will reach the Plazoleta de los Suspiros, where you will hear more anecdotes from Gardel. As you walk along the "Caminito", your narrator will add comments about the particular characters of the genre and you will learn about the tango song "Caminito" that gave its name to this popular tourist spot in 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.
