Famous Women of Argentina Tour

Famous Women of Argentina Tour 

The group will meet in the Plaza del Correo, next to the Juana Azurduy statue, the first star of this Famous Women of Argentina tour. What role did this brave woman play in the Independence of America?

Throughout this two and a half hour tour, we'll learn about her achievements and those of many other women who've left their mark in Argentinian history. Although the protagonists of this tour may not be globally recognised, they played a fundamental role in the country's revolution and transition to democracy. 

From the Plaza del Correo we'll then head to the house of Mariquita Sánchez de Thompson, a political activist for equality and women's rights. Did you know that the National Anthem was sung for the first time in her house? Although it's a topic of debate, we'll find out all about it along with many other of this incredible woman's achievements.

The next protagonist of this guided walking tour will be Eva Perón. We'll stop in front of her mural in the Ministry of Public Works and delve into the life of one of the most famous Argentinian women in history, whose personal and political trajectory was groundbreaking.

To finish the tour, we'll make our way to the Plaza de Mayo where the famous Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo movement protested. We'll also find out about the Buenos Aires feminist movement, joined by more and more people every day.
