Description

You want to go through the Puerto Madero neighborhood from its beginnings to the present day? The stories I tell radiate emotion, passion for my city, details and a little humor. See you there!
We will start at Juana Azurduy monument, very close to the door of Puerto Madero.
Before gettting into the neiborhood, we will be able to walk a few blocks looking at the old city on the right side and a wide view of Puerto Madero no the left. This is a great panorama to better understand the history and context of Puerto Madero.
Then we will head straight into Puerto Madero. The exciting story of how the failure of a port became, over the decades, a tourist success and a cutting-edge neighborhood.
Once inside the neiborhood, the main spots we will view are:
-A. M. de Justo Avenue, the most fancy restaurants place in the city
-A walk thorough Puerto Madero channels
-The Figates ARA Sarmiento and ARA Uruguay and its stories
-The woman`s Bridge, turned into the insignia of the place
-We cross the channel and get into the residential zone of Puerto Madero
-The few old constructions from the Madero port times, now turned into museums and art galleries.
-The view of the old city from Puerto Madero
-The Argentine Women´s Park
-The modern buildings of Puerto Madero
-The Ecological Reserve, a 350 hectareas, only 700 mts away from the center of Buenos Aires!
-We end the tour back in the channels

I will love your presence, your questions and your comments during the trip.
