About This Tour

Enjoy a private artisans and makers tour where you will discover what our artists and artisans have been doing for the last 200 years. The fileteado is a very "argentinian" type of art. From the paintings on signs or cristals to our own "colectivos" (buses) were decored with this type of art. 
On the other hand, our Silversmith will be able to show you why the Pope has an argentinian made Chalice amongst others.
We suggest visits to La Boca and San Telmo, while you will be driving through Recoleta, Retiro and Puerto Madero.

Day 1 With just 2.50 meters in front, this house, which was part of a house from the second decade of the nineteenth century, is known as the narrowest in the city. It has a simple façade, composed of a two-leaf door with green painted panels and, on the upper floor, a small balcony with iron bars. These houses were for freed slaves, whose masters assigned them a small space to build their homes, adjacent to their property. The San Lorenzo Passage house - the only one of its kind in Buenos Aires - measures 2.50 meters wide and 13 meters deep. The construction is from the second decade of the nineteenth century and it is a residual space that remained after the successive building reforms that the block suffered.

The minimum house is also known for the myth that hovered around it. It was believed that there had resided a freed slave, to whom his master had given him the land to build his home. Hence, for a long time it was called among the porteños "Casa del esclavo liberto".

Day 2 La Pulpería Quilapán is a unique place in Buenos Aires. Passing through the iron gate you enter a delirious world, a bit of countryside in the city, where the creativity and energy of its owners Grégoire and Tatiana can be appreciated in every corner. With will and much effort they managed to restore a historic house in San Telmo to transform it into what is now a space that mixes Argentine folklore, Buenos Aires architecture and modernity.

Here ends the visit with a coffee with homemade bread, jam and sweet milk.
