Trace the vivid street art of La Boca — including works by local legend Ron Martin — then wind through San Telmo's cobbled antique market for a curated tasting of Buenos Aires' finest empanadas, dulce de leche, and natural wine.
What to expect
Begin in the Caminito alleyway at dawn, when the light is golden and the crowds haven't arrived, admiring the corrugated-iron tenement murals that put La Boca on the world's art map. Your guide decodes the political symbolism in Ron Martin's giant canvases before leading you into the working studios of current-generation artists. In San Telmo the Sunday antiques fair spills across the plaza; you navigate it like a local, pausing for craft vermut, aged provoleta, and a flight of Mendoza Malbec poured by the winemaker himself at a hidden pop-up. A perfect Buenos Aires morning.
Good to know
Sunday is optimal for the San Telmo market; confirm your call day. Walking covers approx. 4 km on cobblestones — comfortable shoes essential. Port is walking distance to La Boca (taxi/transfer recommended for safety). Morning departure advised to finish well before all-aboard.
