    At 10:30 AM, we will meet at Tangol Agency, in San Telmo neighborhood.
  • Plaza Dorrego, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    After everybody is together, we will head to the Feria de Antigüedades de San Pedro Telmo (San Pedro Telmo Antique Fair). This fair has taken place every Sunday since 1970 in the Plaza Dorrego and Calle Defensa, areas which become pedestrianized especially for this traditional event each week. More than 10,000 people, many of whom are tourists from all around the world, flock to the 270 stalls each Sunday. Orchestras playing music for tango dancers in the streets, live statues and other street performers as well as the antiques themselves and the cultural value really make this Feria worth the visit.
    30 minutes
  • Feira de San Telmo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    Early in the morning, every Sunday since 1970, the San Pedro Telmo Antiques Fair begins to take shape on the pavement of Plaza Dorrego. More than 270 stalls are distributed around the square and on the Defensa street which becomes a pedestrian street only for this day. The fair receives about 10,000 visitors each Sunday and there is a high percentage of tourists from all around the world. At the fair, you can find almost anything you are looking for. From furniture and artifacts, to traditional Argentine crafts, clothing and leather goods.
    60 minutes
  • Mercado de San Telmo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    We’ll continue on to the Mercado de San Telmo (San Telmo Market) for anyone who fancies grabbing some original and unique souvenirs.
    60 minutes
  • Feria de Mataderos, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    We’ll head over to the southwestern side of the city to Feria de Mataderos. which is one of the most important fairs in the city and one of the least known. This fair has become a traditional weekend tour for those who want to connect with Argentine countryside traditions. Founded 30 years ago, this unique fair serves as a true celebration of ‘gaucho’ culture. It is made up of 3 main areas and a food court: Artesanías tradicionales, Festival Artístico and Destrezas Gauchescas. Each Sunday, different activities take place here. As soon as we get to the fair, you’ll notice that it is rich in parrillas (grills) on which delicious meats and other typical meals are cooked. This tour includes a great lunch where you can try traditional foods such as empanadas. Both crafts and regional foods (jams, liqueurs, cheeses and alfajores) can be bought at better prices than in the more central, touristy shops. Sometimes you’ll be able to watch horse races or even get involved in some tango classes!
    120 minutes
  • Museo Criollo de los Corrales, Buenos Aires, Argentina
    After this, we will have some free time to visit the Museo Criollo de los Corrales. This rural-style museum gives us a glimpse of how the gauchos live in the pampas: their clothes, tools and other everyday objects. We’ll also see how Argentina became one of the world’s leading meat exporters: things like traditional knives, weapons, carts, animals and rural paintings are all on show.
    60 minutes
  • Defensa 831, C1066 CABA, Argentina

It was a rainy Sunday when we visited San Telmo Market and Mataderos Fair. Silvia was an excellent guide. She made the market visit very interesting and showed us a lot of artists we would have overseen. She has a profound knowledge about different handcraft work, historical buildings such as the Pasaje de la Defensa or the the Mercado de San Telmo. On Mataderos Fair she recommended different specialities such as Humita, which we would have never tried without her. We enjoyed being with her and can truly recommend Silvia as a guide.

We had a great time on this tour, shopping and eating and learning so much about the local culture. Our guide did a great job and he was very thoughtful to give us space to explore and also some guided time to show us around and get the overall feel for the place.
