Meet Mateo, our Buenos Aires expert.

“In Buenos Aires, every corner offers a new discovery, whether it’s an impromptu tango performance or a hidden bar tucked down an alley. It's a place where the moments are filled with connection, culture, and the joy of savoring life’s simple pleasures.”

Hello, I’m Mateo—Colombian by birth, but a true Buenos Aires local at heart. I’ve made my home in Recoleta, a neighborhood where centuries of history meet the pulse of modern life. It’s the perfect spot to get lost in the charm of Parisian-style boulevards and the vibrant café culture that fills the streets.
From admiring the majestic architecture of the city’s grand avenues to sipping yerba mate as the sun sets over the Río de la Plata, Buenos Aires has a unique energy that’s impossible to ignore. Asado, tango, and the rhythm of the streets are part of my DNA—this is a city that makes you feel alive in every sense.
