Latin America & Argentine Masters: Buenos Aires’ Finest Art Collections (private tour)

Get ready to dive into the world of Argentine and Latin American art, as our expert guide takes to the finest museums in Buenos Aires.

We’ll visit Latin America’s largest collection of public art, exhibited at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (National Museum of Fine Arts). Among its more than 12,000 pieces, two collections stand out: 19th century European art, considered the most important in the region; and a collection of Argentine art, beyond a doubt the largest and most valuable of its kind, worldwide.

We will also visit the Museo de Arte Latinamericano de Buenos Aires (Museum of Latin American Art, also known as MALBA) defined by the New York Times as one of the best art museums on the American continent where nearly every Latin American country and important style of the past 100 years is represented.

On the days the MALBA or the National Museum of Fine Arts remain closed, we’ll visit the Fortabat Art Collection; an art gallery which boasts a collection of 230 works of art, by both Argentine and international artists, examples of the latter being Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol.

This is a 3-hour private tour.

Get ready to embark on a journey to one of the most aristocratic and oldest suburbs of Buenos Aires, as we stroll along cobblestone streets, admiring colonial architecture and urbanism among the prominent mansions of San Isidro.

Located in the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, the San Isidro neighborhood is home to some of the wealthiest families of Buenos Aires. We'll visit its historical area where we'll admire the sheer beauty and magnificent structure of the neo-Gothic style San Isidro cathedral located in front of the main square. We'll visit other main highlights before heading further north to Tigre: the gateway to the third-largest river delta in the world and the only one that flows into fresh water rather than into the sea. We'll navigate the Parana delta admiring the it's islands, dense vegetation and houses on pilots that can be appreciated on our hour long motor boat ride along some of its rivers. The journey ends with a stop at the "Mercado de Frutos" (Fruit Supply Market). With a name that harks back to its time as a port where fruit was unloaded, today the Puerto de Frutos is an open-air market where you can find furniture, decorations, cane and wicker accessories, homemade jam, honey, local handcrafts and, still, a wide range of local fruit.

This is a 5-hour private tour (except the navigation which is done with a group boat with your private guide).
