Estancia and Gaucho Experiences from Buenos Aires
Visitors interested in gaucho folklore and culture can saddle up and learn all about life on the Pampas. Here’s how.
You shouldn’t leave Buenos Aires without seeing a tango show, and Tango Porteno puts on one of the best. Guests at Tango Porteno have the option to add a three-course dinner to the experience, with several options for appetizers, entrees, and desserts. If you’d like, arrive early to participate in a free tango lesson before the performance. It’s also possible to combine a tango show with a sightseeing tour of Buenos Aires’ top attractions.
Tango Porteno is located near Teatro Colon and the Obelisk. The nearest metro stops are Lavalle, Tribunales, and Carlos Pellegrini.
Shows begin nightly at 10:15pm; dinner is served at 8:30pm. Plan to arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes early to find your seat and get comfortable, and even earlier if you want a free tango lesson.
While watching tango is fun, dancing tango is even better. Try the dance for yourself by booking a private tango lesson with a local dancer, or join a small group tango class at a local milonga. These interactive lessons can be combined with a tango history tour around town or a show at one of the city’s many excellent tango theaters.
