Treasures of Argentina

Your guided visit takes you through the Italian-style house and patios dating from the early 20th century, which conceal the remains of an 18th-century colonial home. Descend into a network of ancient tunnels, wells, cisterns, and brick archways that once carried the Tercero del Sur stream toward the Río de la Plata. As you wander through this maze of passageways, learn how one man’s chance renovation led to uncovering centuries of history beneath the neighborhood. The original walls and ironwork, combined with stories of the city’s past and present, bring San Telmo’s layered heritage vividly to life.
