Later we visit the contrast of the most modern neighborhood of the city: Puerto Madero, where the glazed buildings rise like a curtain, in the middle of dikes with brick architecture, transformed into restaurants.

Then, we go to Palermo and its magnificent gardens and residences. The large park, the main lung of the city, is a pleasant place to walk with its Japanese Garden.

Recoleta neighborhood, an aristocratic neighborhood with its European architecture, its stores and luxury restaurants.

DAY 2: BUENOS AIRES – LUJÁN

 

Breakfast at the hotel.

In the morning half day “Pope Francis” circuit.

On December 17, 1936, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, today His Holiness Francisco, was born in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Flores.

Those of us who live in Buenos Aires are proud to know that it was in this city that he grew up, made friends, was educated and found his vocation. Here he always worked with humility and commitment for those who needed it most, and with his example he inspired us and showed us that together we can create a future in which we are happier.

Through the "Papal Circuit", we want to give neighbors and tourists the opportunity to learn more about the life of the Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church.

We are convinced that those who take this tour will find not only a life story, but also teachings and values that are the impetus to continue building a better society together.
