“Life is not about celebrating victories, but about overcoming defeats.” Quotes like this define the personality of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, one of Argentina's most prominent figures of the 20th century. Did you know that he was born in Rosario in 1928? At 8:30 AM, we'll pick you up from your hotel to head to the places in the city that left their mark on the life of this figure.
We'll start the “Che” sightseeing tour of Rosario by passing Ernesto Guevara's birthplace, located at the crossroads of Urquiza and Entre Ríos streets. From there, we'll head to Che Square, where we'll see the mural that was unveiled in 1997, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of his death.
Next, we'll make another stop at El Rosedal de Rosario. As we'll see, this garden features several information panels that tell the storey of Che, who was photographed for the first time with his parents at this location. We'll also pass through Independence Park, where we'll see the photo of Che taken in January 1952, just as he was setting off on his trip through Latin America aboard the legendary motorcycle “La Poderosa.”
If you take the sightseeing tour from Monday to Friday, we'll make a final stop at the CELChe: the Ernesto “Che” Guevara Centre for Latin American Studies. We'll visit its exhibition, which covers both the life and the work of Che over several decades.
