While Buenos Aires is known as the Paris of South America for her Belle Epoque architecture and strong cultural connection with Europe, she can be a challenge to navigate. With over 4 million people roaming throughout the city, this romantic concrete jungle isn’t a city that shows her deep and rich beauty easily to outsiders. Rather, she is much more a secret jewel box, filled with treasures that need to be discovered, step-by-step, and revealed to each one of us. I see Buenos Aires’ spirit hidden in the interactions of the slow cafes, the easy talk on a bus, the wink of a newspaper kiosk vendor, the unexpected change of routes because of city construction and strikes, the corner of two blocks that surprise us with a completely unexpected abandoned historic building. There is a profound depth to her in all that she offers, we just need to know where to look.

Tango is also a hidden treasure that Buenos Aires gives us, through an entire universe of classes, practicas, milongas, festivals and more, ranging from classic and traditional old-milonguero style to young contemporary trends. My proposal with Ciudad Secreta, is to show you the beauty and the secrets of our beloved Buenos Aires from an insider’s perspective. I do this by avoiding the beaten and commercialized path and instead walking hand-in-hand with you to places that are meaningful from a historical, literary or social perspective. Buenos Aires can be overwhelming, noisy and even dangerous if approached as a typical tourist, but it can be a precious, safe and magical experience when presented with her treasures.

This is a unique and special trip, designed to immerse you in the culture of Buenos Aires and the art of its beloved dance. You’ll have the opportunity to meet and interact with the ones who create and make tango what it is, along with understanding much more about the ‘make’ of our music and our porteño dance.
