Escape tourists agencies and get to discover Palermo SOHO from an anthropological point of view. Do not expect to just walk and listen: be prepared to chat, ask questions and discuss about the past, present and future of the "coolest" neighborhood in Buenos Aires.
Beginning at Distrito Arcos and ending in Plaza Serrano, this experience offers you the chance to walk through Palermo SOHO in an attempt to transcend its fancy surface and discover its true core.
What does the train and the tram has to do with the origin of this neighborhood? Who were its first inhabitants? When Palermo became "SOHO" and got filled with tourists, "chic" bars and restaurants? What is Real Estate speculation and why is it related to the Argentine Peso devaluation? What is the deal with the crazy two exchange rates?
These are just some of the many questions we will try to answer in our walk through the most "hip" part of Buenos Aires.

Former winery GIOL recicled into the Polo Científico Tecnológico. We will talk about how Palermo slowly changed from being a working class neighborhood to what it is today.
Founded in 1924 by immigrants, it is a great example of the massive wave of European immigrants who came to Buenos Aires in the late XIX century and beginning of the XX century.
