Buenos Aires: El Viejo Almacén Tango Show

Step into tango history at El Viejo Almacén, the most iconic and internationally acclaimed tanguería in Buenos Aires. Located in the heart of San Telmo, this historic venue has hosted legends like Aníbal Troilo and Osvaldo Pugliese, and was declared a Cultural Heritage Site in 1982. Its legacy has attracted royalty, presidents, and renowned artists from around the world.

Your evening begins with hotel pickup (if selected), followed by a refined three-course dinner (if selected) served in the elegant halls of an 18th-century building that preserves its original charm. Start your evening with a choice of meat empanadas, salmon bruschetta with avocado and chives, pumpkin and ginger soup, fresh greens with blue cheese cream, or the house salad with raw ham, melon, and basil coulis. For the main course, options include sirloin steak with chateau potatoes, braised pork bondiola in Malbec sauce, chicken rolls with spinach and walnuts, pumpkin ravioli, or a grilled vegetable millefeuille. To finish, enjoy traditional flan with dulce de leche, orange mousse, fruit salad, triflé ice cream, or the signature ‘Viejo Almacén' cake.

After dinner, cross the narrow Balcarce Street to an intimate colonial-style theater where the show begins with a short video tracing the history of tango. Then, prepare to be captivated by a performance featuring a live sextet and four professional dance couples. The powerful combination of live music, refined choreography, and historic ambiance creates a night you won't forget.

End the evening with your return transfer to the hotel (if selected), carrying with you the true spirit of Argentine tango.
