Overview

Escape tourist agencies and discover Buenos Aires from an anthropological point of view. Do not expect to just walk and listen: be prepared to talk, ask questions, taste mate, and discuss the past, present, and future of Argentina’s capital.

Why was Buenos Aires called the ‘Paris of South America’? Who ‘inhabits’ the Recoleta Cemetery, and what mysteries does it contain? What was the ‘Belle Époque,’ and how did it change the city? What was the role of large landowners in the development of the country? Was Argentina really a global economic power?
