About this activity

You will arrive at a walled city that in 1680 brought the Portuguese crown, with military and civilian envoys, to monitor the Spanish ships traveling to Buenos Aires, in search of gold, silver, and precious stones. You will get to know the precarious constructions of the era, their handmade roofs, their lanterns and stone streets with natural drains, in a city anchored in time and magically preserved with its military field gate, its drawbridge, and its cannons.

The 11 o'clock schedule will be in English and the 13 o'clock in Spanish.
