Two real Buenos Aires fairs in one private half-day — San Telmo's antiques and Mataderos' gaucho culture.
Visit the San Telmo Fair's old market and antique stalls, then continue to the Mataderos Fair for gaucho traditions, handicrafts, and a folkloric music and dance festival.
A genuine pairing of Buenos Aires' two most distinctive real fairs — San Telmo's antiques and street performers close to downtown, and Mataderos' gaucho-culture market and folkloric festival on the city's western edge, both with a private guide.

Visit the San Telmo Fair's old market and antique stalls, then continue to the Mataderos Fair for gaucho traditions, handicrafts, and a folkloric music and dance festival. A genuine pairing of Buenos Aires' two most distinctive real fairs — San Telmo's antiques and street performers close to downtown, and Mataderos' gaucho-culture market and folkloric festival on the city's western edge, both with a private guide.
The Feria de San Telmo was founded in 1970 by architect José María Peña, originally conceived as a modest antiques market around Plaza Dorrego. It has since grown into one of the city's genuine Sunday institutions, now spreading well past the plaza itself and down Calle Defensa with more than 250 stalls selling vintage furniture, old advertising signs, vinyl records, siphons, and silverware — alongside street performers, tango dancers, and organ players who turn the whole area into something closer to a street festival than a market.
Mataderos, on the city's western edge, tells a completely different story. The neighborhood's name literally means 'slaughterhouses,' and its identity was shaped by the livestock trade that once dominated this part of Buenos Aires — the fair itself sits opposite the old Mercado Nacional de Hacienda, where cattle once arrived from the Pampas to be checked and sold. The Feria de Mataderos was founded in 1986 by Sara Vinocur specifically to preserve Argentina's gaucho and rural folkloric traditions, and today draws around 15,000 visitors most Sundays for gaucho handicrafts — mates, ponchos, leatherwork — alongside live folkloric music, traditional dance, and real jineteada horseriding skill displays.
Putting the two together in one day gives a real contrast most visitors never experience on a single trip: San Telmo's urban antiques-and-tango scene close to downtown, against Mataderos' rural, working-cattle-town character and genuine gaucho craft traditions out on the city's edge — two very different, equally authentic slices of porteño culture.
