Together
with Pere Lachaise in Paris and Di Staglieno in Genoa,
Italy, this is one of the most astonishing burial
grounds in the world. As you enter the Cemetery,
you will soon forget where you are and we are certain
that you will feel you are in an open air museum,
where you will not only learn about our history,
but also about different architectural styles; and,
above all, you will be amazed by the stories and
legends hidden behind each monument.
It is essential to have a professional guide who
knows all the secrets of the cemetery, where the
most impressive mausoleums and sculptures are and
to get the most out of Recoleta cemetery

leaders? From her upbringing as a humble country
girl, to the leader of the Argentinean masses, you
will be shown the real story of Eva Peron.

labor Union office ), Luna Park, Peron´s residence,
Duarte´s House, Evita´s Museum and the Recoleta Cemetery.
