About this experience
Enjoy a private artisans and makers tour where you will discover what our artists and artisans have been doing for the last 200 years. Presence an unique art style in Latin America: The fileteado is a very "argentinian" type of art. It's considered as a unesco cultural heritage since 2015. From the paintings on signs or crystals to our own "colectivos" (buses) were decorated with this type of art. Subway stations, walls, car patent, plates. This art is reflected throughout the city.
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. Now, get prepared to present these unique artists.
We are granted by the safe travel seal of World Travel & Tourism Council.
