This is one of those spots that is a must see in Buenos Aires. Great for clicking photos. This is a large group of tombstones where a lot of rich and famous people in Argentina are buried. A tour guide is not necessary,unless you really want to know who is buried in which tombstone.

My mother and I went for a little visit over the Cementery, being a stop in the turibus we took. It is a cementery like the ones that you might find in another old European cities, but I personally think it is worth it just to know the place were mortal rests of Evita were placed... my mother did not...

Oddly enough, this place is right next to the mall, a major tourist trap ha! It is a "different" stop than you would normally hear on lists of tourist spots. It is worth an hour of your time though, and it is appropriate for all types of people. I saw all types of people, including entire families and children. There... More

Come early in the morning and enjoy the peaceful environment. Buy the book with map at the shop before you are going to walk so you can read everything about the graves.

A lovely tranquil space in the middle of a busy city. It is a fascinating insight into the culture and history of some very interesting people. A great place to simple stroll around.

The only cemetery I have seen like this is Pere Lachaise in Paris. Unlike Pere Lachaise in which hundreds of well known people are buried (among them Jim Morrison),... More

I´ve lived in Buenos Aires for almost 3 years now and can´t count on one hand how many times I´ve visited Recoleta Cemetery, it´s just that cool. It´s a maze of above ground crypts which satisfies the craving for history, architecture, sculpture and bit of macabre old Buenos Aires gossip on the side. Yes, it´s free but if you spend... More

I'd never been to a cemetery like this one before, it was truly an amazing and moving experience. My friends and I happened to visit Eva Peron's tomb on her birthday, it was adorned with flowers and people holding a little prayer service. I'm lucky to have been there that day. It's so interesting to explore the cemetery, the tombs... More

Armed with a map of this cemetry and knowing where to find Evita we spent about an hour wandering along the paths between these mostly enormous mausoleums. Each one of them were different and some incredibly "over the top" - others more simple and moving like the girl with her dog. Evita's resting place is quite plain compared with the... More
