El Zanjón, tunnels & mystery

This tour takes you to the first settlements of Buenos Aires. Beneath a beautifully restored 1830s mansion lies a spectacular labyrinth of wide, vaulted brick tunnels walled off and forgotten long ago. Tour these centuries-old foundations, walls, wells and cisterns to discover surprising stories of how the city’s past mirrors its present. Original brickwork, enticing archways and skilled ironwork are a gateway to the mysterious maze below.

Casa Mínima, the narrowest house in Buenos Aires

At just over two meters wide—Casa Mínima retains its original 200-year-old clay walls and adobe plaster. Along with a visit to the adjacent mansion, its beautiful courtyard and Memory Wall, this guided tour traces the early traditions of Buenos Aires through to slavery and the birth of Tango.

"The Mate Experience was really special; mate is this fundamental thing in Argentine culture, but can be hard to figure out as a tourist because it’s typically drunk among family and friends. I was treated as such. Obvious passion for Buenos Aires’ history and culture from all the staff." Samuel, 2025.
