      Afro Argentine Tour

      On this walking tour, weโ€™ll explore the old slave trading quarters and housing, as well as the National Historic Museum, San Telmo Church, Dorrego Square, minimal houses, and tenements. Along the way, youโ€™ll learn about the history of the Afro-Argentines, as well as the process of invisibilization of Black heritage and the activism that fights for an anti-racist Argentina.


      We use the profits from our Black Heritage department to promote affordable tours for locals, sponsor free tours for kids, and highlight the contributions of our Black community.


      Join us and see a different side of Buenos Aires thatโ€™s often hidden in plain sight.


      Travellers will see the smallest house in the city of Buenos Aires, where theyโ€™ll learn about the path to freedom and the organization of the Afro-Argentines after the end of slavery.

      Learn about the process of European immigration that symbolically erased the African heritage from our country. Here youโ€™ll discover the African roots of many popular cultural assets of Argentina, like tango, asado or even our Lunfardo slang.

      One of the oldest in the city. Work began in 1735 and under the expulsion of the jesuits, the Bethlemite religious order continued the work. Also has a museum with pieces dating back over 200 years.

      We will walk by the square where the most famous antiques market takes place every Sunday

      We will make a stop in a colonial house where enslaved people used to work. Here weโ€™ll have a drink and talk about Africa before colonization, as well as the daily lives of the people who worked in the house.

      Our accredited guide will meet at Parque Lezama to explain the origins of the African population in the Rio de la Plata region, explaining the slave trade in what today is Argentina.

      We will meet at the National Historical Museum to talk about the colonial origins of the city, and the relationship between this new colony and slavery and slave trading.
