Join Maru or Vicky, two historians, educators and activists, to learn about Argentina's most fascinating and daunting movement: Peronism. You will explore the context behind the rise of this political figure and how we carved up a movement that is still active 50 years after his death. Explore the life of famed First Lady Evita Perón and discover the answers to the questions: was Perón a Nazi? Is Peronism left wing or right wing? What even is Peronism? In this tour we'll explore the Evita Perón Museum as well as many landmarks for Peronist history.
In this tour we'll navigate the landmarks of Peronism, including Perón Square, Plaza de Mayo, the main Union building of the Peronist era, the Evita Perón Foundation, a Peronist Theme bar (yes, really!), the Health Ministry and the Evita Perón Museum.

What To Expect
Plaza De Mayo
We will visit the foundational block of the city , also birthplace of the Peronist Movement. Plaza de Mayo is the oldest public square in BA, and has been the scene of many of the most important events in the city's history, from the second founding of the city in 1580, through the revolution of independence, to more recent political demonstrations.
Facultad de Ingenieria
Admire this imposing building which was built in the mid-20th century for the Fundación María Eva Duarte de Perón, the charitable foundation run by Eva. "Evita" died in 1952 and never used the building. Following the military coup against Perón in 1955 it was redesignated to University of Buenos Aires' Faculty of Engineering.

5.00I loved this tour! Maru was so smart and passionate about Argentinian history and Peronism and her English was perfect. She took me to all the best Peron places and explained the history and also how it tied into today. She also taught be about Diego Maradona, who I sadly knew nothing about! My favorite part was the Kirchner restaurant because I got an empanada there and it was the BEST empanada that I had on my entire trip. And I had empanadas everyday while I was there. Both Maru and the owner of the tour company followed up with me on WhatsApp the day after the tour. They were so incredibly nice. Overall, I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. It was fantastic and Maru is amazing!!!
