About this experience
Start in Plaza Dorrego, the historic heart of San Telmo, one of Buenos Aires’ most atmospheric neighborhoods known for its cobbled streets, old houses and unmistakable porteño character. Begin with coffee and medialunas at Bar El Federal, one of the city’s iconic bares notables, before continuing to Mercado San Telmo, a historic indoor market where you’ll discover Argentina’s food culture through small tastings like empanadas and choripán with chimichurri. Along the way, your local guide shares the cultural and culinary context behind each bite, connecting flavors to neighborhood history and daily traditions. Then enjoy a tasting of Argentine grilled meats at La Brigada, followed by a vermouth with soda at Bar Plaza Dorrego. Finish at Café Rivas with alfajor and dulce de leche, ending with one of Argentina’s most beloved sweets. By the end, you’ll have experienced Buenos Aires through places locals actually use, all brought to life with stories, flavors, and local insight.
