Muy buena la experiencia de haber hecho este recorrido porque nos brindó un montón de información sobre las raíces afro que tenemos en la ciudad de buenos aires. Excelente la guía que nos tocó, Julia, muy amable y didáctica con les niñes, que preguntaron y aprendieron muchas cosas interesantes y desconocidas para todxs. La recomiendo además porque San Telmo siempre nos depara sorpresas. El recorrido termina con una rica merienda de mate cocido y pastelitos caseros en un bar de la zona
