Our tour takes us around four neighbourhoods where the Tango was developed: La Boca, mentioned as the birthplace of the tango by the influence of immigrant people.

We tour the sites where used to be located the Hansem’s Café, El Pabellón de las Rosas, Armenonville and the Palais de Glace. In the latter it is where the tango released for the high society and the only that is still open. The tour includes some curiosities as the tango’s sidewalk where the basics steps of tango are drawn and a stop at the Esquina de Aníbal Troilo, a remarkable bar in honour of an exponent of the tango’s golden age, to take a break. In the evening, we attend at a tour of milongas where besides learning some traditions about this rhythm, we are going to take a tango lesson by professors. Day 4 Buenos Aires.

The tour covers San Nicolas neighborhood, walking by some places where he raised, Café Tortoni and Café los Angelitos, both remarkable bars that he frequented. Moreover, we visit El Abasto, the area that gave him the nickname of ‘Morocho del Abasto’ (Brunette from Abasto). Through a walking tour, we visit the house where he lived, today turned into a museum, Zelaya Passage with murals dedicated to him, Paseo Gardel with his monument and the corner ‘Chanta Cuatro’ where a ‘tanguería’ called ‘Esquina de Carlos Gardel’ (Carlos Gardel’s Corner) was located.
