Caravan of the Serpent: A Buenos Aires illuminated in red
2025 marks the beginning of the Year of the Wood Snake, a period that signifies wisdom and transformation according to the Chinese horoscope. And just like last year, to bathe Buenos Aires in wisdom and good fortune, the Caravan of the Snake leaves from Chinatown to light up our most important monuments as it passes by.
The most emblematic monuments of Buenos Aires that you will see red this Chinese New Year 2025 are the Obelisk, the Women’s Bridge, the Monumental Tower of Retiro and the Planetarium and they will be dyed red at 8:30 pm.
The caravan departs from the heart of Chinatown, on Juramento Avenue and Arribeños, with three tourist buses specially decorated for the occasion with the symbol of the snake at 6:00 pm.
