Buenos Aires is the birthplace of Tango, born in the brothels of the city, just before the beginning of the 1880s century. The word' Tango" refers to both a musical style and the dance performed to it. Tango, a dance known as passionate, sensual and very elegant, was all the rage in the 1930's in Buenos Aries and Paris. Tango is not only a dance but also an obsession. For the ´tanguero´, it is as much as a part of life as eating and sleeping. Erotic and passionate, haunting and melancholic, it involves not only the body but also the soul. Yes, it is just feeling - but in one dance, you can express sad, happy, angry, relax, deep, shallow, cheerful, sorrow, painful, serious, intellectual or just playful feelings. Tango has captured the popular imagination for over one hundred years to become no less than an international cult.

Itinerary:
We begin this exciting tour across the most elegant areas of Buenos Aires. In order to do so, we will have to go back in time to the first decades of the 20th century, when both the government and the aristocracy dreamt of turning Buenos Aires in Latin America's Paris, and showed the country's wealth with the construction of elegant and luxurious palaces and buildings.
Since the beginning of the 19th century new ideas in architecture and design arrived to the country, keeping up with the political project of the moment that was trying to make distance from the Spanish heritage and looking up to France as a role model. Soon many French architects and engineers arrived to Buenos Aires, and were later in charge of the design and construction of bridges, roads, streets and public buildings that the city needed in order to reflect its power and booming.

Some of the tour's highlights: Retiro -  Recoleta - Palermo Chico - Costanera Norte.

During this exciting and interesting tour we will visit three of the most representative and important museums of Buenos Aires: the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires and the Xul Solar Museum, where we will see works of art and learn about the main tendencies in Argentine and Latin American art.
We will first visit the National Museum of Fine Arts (MNBA in Spanish), one of the most important museums in South America. It displays a collection of 11.000 pieces including paintings, sculptures, tapestry, engraving, drawings and objects, and stands out because of its small but rich collection of European art. Among it we find works by Corot, Manet, Boudin, Cézanne, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec and Rodin. It also exhibits an interesting collection of Argentinean and Latin American contemporary art.
We head towards the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires, known as MALBA in Spanish that inaugurated a new era in Argentina's museum culture. This incredible museum of ultramodern architecture was originally built to hold the Costantini Collection and to promote Latin American modern and contemporary art. The museum shows a collection of 200 works of art by modern and contemporary Latin American artists such as Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Antonio Berni, Pedro Figari, Guillermo Kuitca and others. Some of the attractions of this modern museum are its movie theatre, its avant-garde architecture and the complete and interesting agenda of cultural activities it offers. There are also temporary exhibitions, as well as a sculpture yard, a gift shop, a library and a modern café and restaurant.
Finally, we will visit the Xul Solar Museum, a small museum located in Alejandro Xul Solar´s house. This artist has a crucial role in Argentine art in the first decades of the 20th century. Xul Solar´s work inspired many avant-garde tendencies and had a strong influence in the subsequent generations of artists.
In our way we will also enjoy the many sculptures and monuments that decorate Buenos Aires. Very close to the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires we will see the magnificent Floralis Genérica, a mechanic flower built with aluminium and steel that was designed by the famous Argentine artist Eduardo Catalano.

Itinerary:
We begin a journey across time, from Buenos Aires´ first years, when it was made up by only a few blocks, to the beginnings of the 20th century, when a progressive political generation tried to turn the city into a blooming metropolis in order to place it at the same level that the main capital cities of Europe.
We start our visit in the May square, the site chosen by Juan de Garay in 1580 to found the city. As time went by, many buildings related to the political and religious life of the community were located here: first the Cabildo, former seat of the colonial power, and then the Casa Rosada, or Pink House, and the Metropolitan Cathedral. The first owes its name to the bright pink with which it is painted. The most important figures of Argentinean politics, such as Eva Perón, spoke from its mythical balcony. The Cathedral is richly decorated in its interior and houses San Martin's spectacular mausoleum, freer of Argentina and many other Latin American countries.
We continue to San Telmo, the main residential area in the 19th century, where all the traditional and rich families of Buenos Aires lived. In 1871 a terrible epidemic of yellow fever compelled them to move and extend the city northwards. Soon floods of European immigrants began to arrive, and they fastly populated the original constructions of colonial times and turned them into tenements. Nowadays San Telmo is a bohemian and intellectual district, well known for its artistic and avant-garde spirit. We will stroll along Plaza Dorrego, where the most popular antique fair takes place every Sunday. We will also find a great number of antique shops and ateliers where the artists show their work.
Later, we visit Mayo Avenue, built in 1884, when Argentina shaped as one of the richest countries of the world and Buenos Aires was beginning to turn into a booming city. This avenue joins Plaza de Mayo with the Congress, as a symbol of Republican power. Along its blocks solid Art Nouveau and Art Decó buildings were erected, as well as cafés, like the famous Tortoni, hotels, theatres and tea-rooms. The avenue soon acquired its intellectual identity; along its sidewalks many important writers and artists used to stroll, like Borges and Arlt. The famous Spanish poet Federico García Lorca lived in one of its hotels, and many editorial offices of the main newspapers settled there in the first decades of the 20th century. We will admire the Plaza de Los Dos Congresos (Two Congresses Square) and the building of the National Congress.
Our tour continues in La Boca. A great number of European immigrants settled here on arrival, in the last decades of the 19th century. These immigrants, mostly Italians, came with the dream of succeeding in America, but soon found that the situation was not as good as they had imagined. This neighborhood attracted them because of the working opportunities the port offered, and because it was not very populated. The colorful houses and tenements they built with the remaining material from the nearby shipyards give the place a very particular and genuine appearance. Soon in this area people began to dance tango, which was born of the influence and mixture of the local culture. Lunfardo was also born, which is the slang porteños still nowadays use in their informal conversations. We will walk along mythical Caminito that sums up the passion this neighborhood has for tango, art and football.
We continue our visit in Puerto Madero, a very sophisticated area very close to the river that was totally remodelled and redesigned in the nineties, and continues to grow with residential and commercial projects. At the moment it houses the most elegant and chic restaurants and bars in town, as well as exclusive apartment buildings.
Our visit ends in Costanera Sur that, like Puerto Madero, was also remodelated in its promenades by the river and its streets. There we find Buenos Aires´ Ecological Reserve, a green area abounding with samples of different flower and animal species, only a few steps away from downtown. This allows porteños to take a break from their offices and enjoy lunch surrounded by Nature without having to go too far.
