About this activity

Discover the Secrets of Recoleta Cemetery!

Step into the heart of Buenos Aires’ most iconic resting place and travel back to the 1880s, an era when the city's wealthiest families built palaces for the living—and monuments for the dead. Driven by power, prestige, and a touch of vanity, they commissioned Europe’s greatest artists to design stunning mausoleums that would stand the test of time.

On this small-group tour (never more than 15 people), we’ll uncover the fascinating and eerie stories hidden behind every marble facade. Hear about:

A couple whose bitterness was etched in stone for eternity.
The haunting legend of a woman buried alive.
And, of course, the most visited tomb of all—Evita Perón’s final resting place.

Perfect for history lovers, curious minds, and families alike, this walking tour brings to life the legends, art, and intrigue that make Recoleta Cemetery unlike any other place in the world.

Have kids? Bring them! This is an engaging experience for all ages.

La Recoleta Cemetery

2 h 30 min Admission not included

In 1880´s some families in Buenos Aires had so much money and lived in such amazing palaces that they started to think about how their lives would be after death. That's when they got interested in the Recoleta Cemetery and started to import entire mausoleums from Europe made by the best artist you could hire at the time.

Join me in the unique experience of getting to know each corner of this cemetery and the pretty particular mausoleums we find inside, that you can't find anywhere in the entire world.

We´ll also discover how a couple decided to show their bad relationship in their mausoleum until the end of time, the story of a woman that was buried alive and also the most visite the mausoleum in this cemetery where Evita Peron is.
