🇦🇷 Optional Tour: Buenos Aires
Day 1 took us deep into the heart of the city with a downtown walking tour. We started at the historic Plaza de Mayo, the city’s main square since colonial times and a powerful site of both celebration and protest. From there, we walked along the iconic Avenida de Mayo, discovering its stunning architecture and hidden stories. Along the way, we explored Argentina’s most glorious—and most challenging—periods, and learned about influential figures like Eva Perón and Pope Francis.
We finished our tour at the impressive Argentina National Congress.
Day 2 brought us to the modern waterfront of Puerto Madero—a unique neighborhood built on the Río de la Plata, where every street is named after a woman. We also visited the Casa Rosada Museum, where we explored Argentina’s presidential history, its symbols, and fascinating curiosities.

Colonia del Sacramento Day Trip! This small city just 50 km away from Buenos Aires was founded by the Portuguese empire in 1680 and declared World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1995. In the history, Colonia has been part of the Portuguese and Spanish empire, Brasil and finally Uruguay.
