Trace the history of art in La Boca with an expert

Come with me, an arts journalist, on an exploration of Argentine art in the iconic open-air museum of Buenos Aires’ La Boca neighborhood, where art isn’t confined to galleries and its life force spills onto the houses’ colorful facades and tango echoes on every corner. • Stroll along Avenida Pedro de Mendoza as I unravel the artistic DNA of Argentina—its radical movements, boundary-pushing institutions, and the creators who dared to redefine what art could be—and explore the visionaries who transformed Argentine art. • Stop in at Fundación Proa and Fundación Andreani, pillars of the local art scene, and hear about their impact on contemporary exhibitions and artistic discourse. • Conclude in the serene garden at Proa21, an experimental space and beacon for emerging and contemporary artists, for coffee and a deeper conversation about art’s evolving role in Argentine society. You’ll leave La Boca with not just a deeper understanding of Argentine art, but also a sharper eye for the dialogue between art and place.

Buenos Aires's mythical origins: a statue and a Borges poem

• Embark on a historical and literary adventure using a monument and a Jorge Luis Borges poem to explore the origins of Buenos Aires. • The monument is dedicated to the Spanish conqueror Pedro de Mendoza and is located in Parque Lezama, in La Boca neighbourhood. • In the poem’s opening lines, Borges envisions the moment that Spanish ships first arrived at the place where Buenos Aires now stands. • Meet at a traditional coffee shop, where I’ll get a sense of your experience with Borges and Buenos Aires—none is required!—to tailor the rest of our conversation. • Walk to the monument to Pedro de Mendoza, a poignant glimpse into the early days of Spanish colonization. • Read aloud and unravel Borges’ poem «Fundación mítica de Buenos Aires,» focusing on themes based on the group’s interests, and explore more stories and myths surrounding the monument. • Suitable for people with reduced mobility. You’ll leave with a richer understanding of Buenos Aires and a newfound interest in the stories, both true and mythical, that have helped to shape it.

Trains and Subte in Buenos Aires

Argentina used to have a big past when it comes to train infrastructure. As evidence of that, Buenos Aires has some nice old stations that look like museums used daily by Porteños and travellers to move around the city and the country. The Subte is the oldest underground train in Latin America and one of the oldest in the world. Each Subte line has its own character, decoration and stories. Some with British influence, some Spanish, some French; but always fascinating. In this tour, we visit all the six metro lines and talk about how they developed throughout the years. Eventually, we will also visit the two biggest train station: Retiro, where we finsih the tour. I will share some fun facts and stories about these curious lines and their meaning for Argentinians, putting special focus on their architecture. We will finish by the National Railway Museum (Retiro), but it's not part of the tour. 20 minutes tolerance.* EXTRA: I also offer tours about every neighborhood of Buenos Aires, introduction to architecture, art nouveau, art deco, modern architecture, art, cemeteries, night tours, British in Argentina, gossip and history of Argentina, and a Mate experience, where I show you how to prepare this traditional drink. Don't hesitate to ask me anything you need to know.
