What's included in Buenos Aires in One Day Guided Tour with Car
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Puente de la Mujer
To begin, we will head towards Puerto Madero, home to the stunning Puente de la Mujer (Woman's Bridge). Designed by Santiago Calatrava, this iconic pedestrian bridge opened in 2001, symbolizes a tango-dancing couple. Its unique ability to rotate 90 degrees for passing boats is a fascinating sight. The bridge offers panoramic views of the modern skyline and historic ships. It's a popular meeting spot, blending architectural innovation with the revitalized, upscale Puerto Madero district. This area, once a commercial port, now boasts stylish restaurants and high-end buildings, a stark contrast to the city's older charm. We'll take the opportunity to stroll through the port, its docks, and the modern district, with the possibility of heading towards the waterfront, Costanera Sur.
Casa Rosada
Our journey now takes us to Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires' most iconic and historically charged square, and its centerpiece, the Casa Rosada (Pink House). This grand, salmon-pink building is the official seat of the Argentine President and a witness to centuries of national history. Plaza de Mayo has been the stage for countless pivotal moments: from the 1810 May Revolution that sparked Argentina's independence, to the impassioned speeches of Eva Perón, and the silent vigils of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. Its architecture reflects this rich past, with buildings like the Cabildo (the old colonial town hall) and the Metropolitan Cathedral (where Pope Francis, then Cardinal Bergoglio, served) flanking the square. The Casa Rosada itself offers a glimpse into Argentina's political soul. Its balcony is famed as the spot where many leaders have addressed the crowds. Standing in this square, you truly feel the echoes of history and the vibrant pulse of Argentine democracy.
Piramide de Mayo (May Pyramid)
Within the historic Plaza de Mayo, our focus turns to the Pirámide de Mayo (May Pyramid), the very first national monument of Argentina. Erected in 1811 to commemorate the first anniversary of the May Revolution – the pivotal event that began Argentina's struggle for independence from Spanish rule – it stands as a powerful symbol of freedom and national identity. Originally simpler, the pyramid was later renovated and enlarged, topped with a statue representing "Liberty." Around its base, you'll notice white scarves painted on the ground. These symbolize the Madres de Plaza de Mayo (Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo), who have famously marched here every Thursday since the late 1970s, demanding answers about their "disappeared" children during the military dictatorship. The Pirámide de Mayo is more than just a monument; it's a living testament to Argentina's enduring spirit of independence and its ongoing fight for human rights.
