You step out of a black town car onto a sun-washed Avenida Corrientes and the city exhales: ferry horns from the Río de la Plata, street vendors arranging prints, and color bleeding from La Boca's corrugated facades. In three hours your guide threads together galleries, façades and backstreets, introducing artists whose work grew directly from the port, the café, and the political storms of the 20th century.
