Tour Description
The service kicks off with a meeting at our offices in San Telmo.
Just a few blocks from there, you'll find three stunning graffiti murals in close proximity. Throughout the tour, our guide will be available to answer any questions and help capture photos of these incredible artworks. Among the graffiti in San Telmo, you'll discover Lionel Messi doing the famous "Topo Gigio" gesture, a mural of Diego Maradona holding a soccer ball, and the iconic goal celebration of Ángel Di María, forming a heart with his hands.
After the third mural, having only covered three blocks on foot, a car will be ready to transport us to the next renowned graffiti in CABA: the world's largest Diego Maradona mural. By the same artist, we'll also see another mural, this time featuring Lionel Messi.
Once we've finished taking photos and exploring the San Telmo murals, we'll drive to the neighborhood where Diego Maradona grew up: La Paternal. This area is of significant importance due to the club that represents it, Argentinos Juniors, whose stadium is named after Diego Armando Maradona and is nicknamed "The Seedbed of the World" for its reputation of nurturing great players.
The entire block of the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium is adorned with graffiti depicting him in his childhood, youth, and adulthood. We'll tour the stadium's exterior to delve into the history of someone long regarded as the world's best soccer player, concluding our neighborhood visit at the first house Maradona owned after leaving Villa Fiorito.
Following our visit to La Paternal, the car will take us to the neighborhood of Palermo. Although more modern, it is equally significant, showcasing graffiti that includes the 2022 Argentine National Team champions. Highlights include the save by Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez during one of the final's last plays before penalties, and a mural of Lionel Messi lifting the cup with the team. We'll also pass by a bar with a façade painted with the three captains of the World Champion National Team in 1978, 1986, and 2022: Daniel Passarella, Diego Maradona, and Lionel Messi.
To conclude the tour, we'll enjoy a snack at a cafe in the Palermo neighborhood (snack included) around 5 p.m.
