Overview

Come along on a unique tour that explores the often-overlooked Afro-Argentine history and culture, led by members of the local community. You'll discover the African roots woven into the fabric of Buenos Aires' buildings, stories, and even tango. Our tour of the historic area of San Telmo, uncovering the rich legacy of Afro-Argentines from pre-colonial times to the modern-day activism reshaping the country's relationship to race.
On this walking tour, we'll explore the old slave trading quarters and housing, as well as San Telmo Church, Dorrego Square, minimal house, and tenements. Along the way, you'll learn about the history of the Afro-Argentines, as well as the process of invisibilization of Black heritage and the activism that fights for an anti-racist Argentina.
We use the profits from our Black Heritage department to promote affordable tours for locals, sponsor free tours for kids and highlight the contributions of our Black community. Join us!
