Highlights
  • Medellín - Medellín showcases its alluring melodies and fervent pace on numerous street corners, particularly during the International Tango Festival in June. Accompany a knowledgeable guide throughout the year in this Colombian metropolis, celebrated for its cultural and artistic vibrancy, and immerse yourself in the deep beats of tango music and dance.

After being collected from your hotel, commence a cultural journey - on foot and by transport - to visit various local landmarks dedicated to Carlos Gardel, who is regarded by many as the quintessential tango musician. Absorb the rhythm of classic songs and listen to narratives that honor this globally acclaimed artist, who met his end in an aviation accident in Medellín in 1935.

While touring streets, memorials, and museums bearing his name, discover the roots of tango dating back to the 18th century from your guide. Explore emblematic locations such as Olaya Herrera Airport, the San Pedro Cemetery Museum, the Casa Museo Gardeliana, and the Gardel Café where tango lessons are offered - a project by the Casa Gardeliana Cultural Foundation. Stop by Gardel Plaza to view a statue of the vocalist that dominates the park where his artistic heritage continues to thrive.

Upon reaching El Patio del Tango, witness the passionate, refined gestures of a live tango performance. Savor the exquisite fusion of Argentine wine and steak (at your own cost) during the show before being returned to your hotel by your guide. Alternatively, you may opt to stay longer at the venue of your choice for a meal, drinks, or relaxation (not included) and return to your lodging on your own.

For tangomusic lovers - This was a very interesting tour about Tango music and tango dancing. Our tourguide (a professional guitarist himself) took us on a trip back in time when Tango bars were popular and dancing the tango was mainstream. We ended our tour in a tangobar where couples (including many seniors) where dancing and singing along with the live band. It was such a great experience! We really recommend this tour.
