Buenos Aires: The Hidden Codes of the Plaza de Mayo

Much more than an image: a life lesson. Enjoy a unique historical tour without leaving downtown. Travel through the centuries in a single square and discover the essence of a nation.

You will stop looking at statues and buildings and start identifying geopolitical interests. This tour is not a conventional walk; it is the key you need to understand Argentina. You will discover information that is not included in traditional historical accounts, revealing the marks left by foreign powers in the design of this nation and in our current reality.

This is a historical walking tour in which you will be able to tie together clues that are in the same square, but that almost no one sees. The tour includes the context of the birth of the city, the British invasions and the conflicts between European crowns. You will explore the relationship of love, hate and admiration with the English, the desire for progress, the memories of the people and the struggles against power (and for power). You will analyze self-interested hypocrisies until you reach a generation that dreamed of a great Argentina and that marked the pride of our people.
