Spend a Sunday at the Feria de Mataderos

EXPERIENCE THE ARGENTINA OF YESTERDAY

We invite you to go with us to visit an enchanting gaucho fair on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. On a very personalized tour for only one or two people, enjoy live entertainment, learn folklore, ride in a pony cart, watch the horses and the gauchos play traditional games, taste delicacies from all over Argentina, shop for authentic souvenirs.

We invite you as well for a parrilla lunch, and as an optional activity, can take you to the Club Chicago, a popular baile del barrio where there are no tourists, to dance and watch tango, folklore, and tropical--a totally different experience from a milonga in Buenos Aires.

Ruben is an Argentine milonguero, and I'm an expatriate from California--both teach and dance tango in Buenos Aires, and were finalists in the Campeonato Metropolitano de Tango de Buenos Aires.

The excursion includes transportation from Boedo and back, lunch (not including wine), guiding, lots of laughing, entrance and soft-drink at the Club Chicago (optional).

Sundays from 11-5 or ?
Advance registration required.

I am usually very unhappy visiting markets, like touristy stuff. However "La Feria de Mataderos" is very super nice to be at. There is good quality handywork, there is a stage with good performances (dance as well as musicians), and the general feel is portenas enjoying a party and being argentiniean. Something that is really special about Buenos Aires/Argentina, and something that is rather unimaginable in other countries, is like last sunday: a band of musicians, young people looking like a rockband or a reggeaband, but playing chacareras (with the energy of a rock band with a political message), and the public dancing, grandparents next to their children's children, piercings and tattoos and all. I look at that and cry.
