"Chacarita and Colegiales are now the coolest neighborhoods in the city, but they still preserve all the old traditions.

On this tour, we will get to know both sides. The classic neighborhood, with its artisan pasta factory, deli, bakery, corner bar, pizzeria, soccer club, and plaza... a deep painting of Buenos Aires.
