There, we'll arrive at a historic conventillo — once a traditional tenement house, now beautifully restored and transformed into a charming dinner-theater venue — to enjoy an unforgettable night at La Ventana.

Before the dinner-show, you'll have the option to take part in a tango class or enjoy an exclusive wine tasting led by our expert sommeliers. This pre-show experience lasts approximately one hour.

Dinner is served between 7:30 PM and 9:30 PM, featuring a carefully curated menu of gourmet dishes that blend the best of Argentine and international cuisine.

At 9:30 PM, the tango show begins — a performance that’s sure to impress. Live music is performed by renowned tango orchestras and a traditional Argentine folk music group. On stage, four pairs of dancers will captivate you with their skill, elegance, and passion.

The show also includes live indigenous music and a glimpse into gaucho culture, featuring a breathtaking boleadoras demonstration — a traditional tool used by gauchos for cattle herding.
