About this activity

Dive into the vibrant artistic soul of Buenos Aires with our Filetado Art Class and San Telmo Walking Tour, an experience that seamlessly blends history, creativity, and local culture. Your journey begins in San Telmo, one of the city’s most atmospheric neighborhoods, known for its cobblestone streets, antique shops, and bohemian flair. As you stroll through its charming alleys, you’ll be introduced to the world of Filetado Porteño, a distinctive Argentine decorative art form characterized by its swirling lines, vivid colors, and poetic phrases. Guided by a knowledgeable local, you'll learn about the origins, symbolism, and cultural significance of this UNESCO-recognized tradition that adorns everything from buses to storefronts.

After soaking in the artistic ambiance of San Telmo, you'll take part in a hands-on Filetado workshop, led by a professional local artist. Whether you're a beginner or art enthusiast, you’ll be guided through the techniques needed to craft your own unique piece of Fileteado, making for a colorful and meaningful souvenir. To wrap up the experience, enjoy a relaxing moment over coffee or tea, and receive your Participation Certificate as a memento of your creative day.
