Historic and Cultural Buenos Aires | Polo inspired Metalwork
In the morning, meet your private guide and driver in the hotel lobby. We'll start by exploring the historic Plaza de Mayo, the birthplace of Argentina's independence, and home to some of the city's most iconic landmarks, including the presidential palace Casa Rosada and the imposing Metropolitan Cathedral. You'll learn about the city's rich history and culture as we stroll through the plaza and admire the stunning architecture.
Continue your journey in La Boca, a neighborhood renowned for its colorful houses and tango heritage. As you walk along Caminito, the main street, you'll be greeted by an explosion of hues from every direction. This neighborhood was once home to Italian immigrants who used leftover paint from ships to adorn their houses, creating a visual spectacle that has become an iconic symbol of Buenos Aires. As you venture further into San Telmo, you'll step back in time to the city's colonial era. This neighborhood's cobblestone streets and well-preserved colonial buildings exude a nostalgic charm. Plaza Dorrego, the heart of San Telmo, is a bustling square where locals and visitors gather to enjoy street performances and artisanal markets. You will have some leisure time to explore San Telmo’s market before continuing to our next experience.
As a special highlight, enjoy an exclusive and intimate visit to the private workshop and gallery of a renowned jeweler and metal artist in the historic district of San Telmo. Over the years, the artist has created bespoke silverwork and jewelry for professional polo players, blending traditional craftsmanship with Argentina’s equestrian heritage.
Your experience begins inside the artist’s workshop, where you may catch a glimpse of him at work on a new polo-inspired piece. You’ll even have the rare opportunity to try your hand at working with the metals alongside the artist himself. Then, just a short walk away, you’ll be welcomed into his private gallery for a glass of wine served in handcrafted silver and gold cups, surrounded by his striking polo-themed creations — a true immersion into the artistry and passion behind this unique Argentine tradition. After the experience, return to you accommodation.
