It was a unique experience, especially since it has been open to the general public for the past six months—something that would have been unthinkable at first. The staff there are very friendly and explain things clearly.

I loved the experience. Climbing the Obelisk isn’t just about reaching a viewpoint; it’s about conquering a symbol. Every step holds history, every pause builds anticipation, and once you reach the top, the city ceases to be mere noise and becomes a living landscape that breathes beneath your feet. Buenos Aires unfolds in every direction—immense, vibrant, almost infinite. Up there, you realize something: it’s not the height that’s striking, it’s the perspective. For a moment, everything seems to fall into place. Chaos becomes beauty; the ordinary becomes extraordinary. It’s not just a view. It’s an experience that changes the way you see the city… and perhaps, just a little, life itself.

As a birthday gift, I took my parents (aged 90 and 85) up to the "Punta del Obelisco." Honestly, it was a very special experience. I must highlight the excellent service provided by the entire staff and the care with which they treated us. It was a brilliant idea to take this tour. Thank you

It’s important to stick to the scheduled times; everything ran on schedule, and the staff inside the Obelisk were very friendly and informative. We happened to visit on a cloudy day, so it’s important to check the weather forecast for a better experience.
