Stepping inside the wrought-iron arches of the 1897 Mercado de San Telmo, parents and children (ages 7 and 11) are met by a private culinary host for a lively tasting crawl through Argentina's favorite comfort foods. Young travelers actively taste hot, flaky empanadas, warm dulce de leche churros, and freshly grilled choripán before sitting down for a lighthearted blind dulce de leche taste test, rating local artisanal recipes on custom scorecards. Just a short stroll through the neighborhood brings the family to a quiet, wood-scented artisan atelier for an intimate leather craft workshop. Here, away from any crowds, a master craftsman introduces the children to genuine Argentine saddle leather, brass letter stamps, and traditional wooden mallets. In a warm, hands-on environment where laughter and hammer taps are welcomed, kids design, stamp, and finish their own personalized leather luggage tags and bookmarks to take home. The afternoon finishes at a gentle pace, leaving the young travelers holding custom-stamped leather keepsakes made by their own hands—a lasting legacy of their first day in Buenos Aires. ### Private San Telmo Market Food Crawl & Dulce de Leche Tasting - Morning, 2.5 hours · price on request · Defensa 963, C1066AAQ, C1066AAQ C1066AAQ, Cdad.
