From Plaza de Mayo to Tierra Santa: A Five‑Hour Private Circuit Through Buenos Aires’ Icons and the World’s First Holy Land Theme Park.
This private city tour stitches together the civic heart and colorful neighborhoods of Buenos Aires — Avenida 9 de Julio, Plaza de Mayo and its Casa Rosada viewpoint, the cobbled streets of San Telmo, the painted houses of La Boca, and the modern riverfront of Puerto Madero — and finishes with a two-hour visit to Tierra Santa, the world’s first religious theme park devoted to the Holy Land where a vast Nativity and sound‑and‑light presentation reconstruct scenes from the life of Jesus.
