    This was very interesting as it is like a miniature city of mausoleums, many different types of architecture and it appears that there are different neighborhoods matching heritages. Admission is free and you can visit the church connected next door

    I am not usually into cemeteries but apparently this is on of the tourist "highlights" in Buenos Aires. This is a chance to see how the other half live... ha ha. This is where the very rich or the very famous are buried and they like to go out in style. The most notable of which is Eva Peron. Be prepared for large crowds and flag waving tour guides. Is it worth it? You decide!!

    Uncommon thing to do at other places,this cemetary however attracts flocks of tourist to visit "homes" of the famous dead people..Was told that it is one of the most expensive cemetary to be in, and it only reserve for great names like the President or the General etc.
    One of the main interest here is of the Evita Peron (Eva Maria Duarte).She was not being buried in the Peron's instead to her family that is Duarte's.So if Evita you're searching for its all the way to your left after the entrance then turn right about 10 blocks go left.
    It is numbered 57 (if im not mistaken) on the map.There is not a single signboard to the Evita's

    Please check out the map first before entering the cemetary,cuz it is big,and you can get lost in searching specific homes.

    Recoleta is one of the most exclusive district in the town, so you can also find the ebst restaurant of Buenos Aires, they are all in front of the Cemetery, there is also a very old church, it was there before the Cemetery in 1732, Nuestra Señora del Pilar Church, there is also a huge construction which used to be a Conventry, now it is the impressive Centro Cultural Buenos Aires, there are charming cafés there too, and in the lovely gardening square you can find a very interesting antiques fair in the weekends. And if you are a Hard Rock Cafe fan, you can find one branch exactly in Recoleta!

    Long time ago it was the first public cemetery of the city, Martin Rodriguez, the Governor of Buenos Aires in that time decided to construct that space in Buenos Aires as the churchs were not a exactly place where you keep your dearest dead people as it was part of the Catholic Traditions. So in 1822 the cemetery started, the first person buried there was not a famous person, it was a young black freed boy, Juan Benito, slavery were something not really necessary in the city, and the black people had their freedom very early in the South American History.

    Evita is there!

    Recoleta now has 4800 vaults and it keeps the Human History of the country as many Presidents, all kind of politicians and famous artists are there...except Gardel.

    Personally I do not like graveyards, but Buenos Aires, Paris and New Orleans has very interesting sacred places where it worths a visit!

    Narrow corridors and open mausoleos invites you for a scaring experience..it is not recommended to visit the cemetery at night, Evita or Mitre could kick your back!

    This is the view from the bridge that cross Figueroa Alcorta avenue. It's infront of the law's University.
    I think it's a cute bridge, and the view at night is pretty nice.

    Esta es la vista desde el puente que atraviesa la avenida Figueroa Alcorta. Esta enfrente de la Universidad de Derecho. Creo que es un puente muy bonito y la vista de noche es muy linda.

    We spent about 1/2 day at the Recoleta Cemetary - the buriel place of Evita. You wouldn't think a cemetary could be so interesting, but this certainly was! The mausoleums were amazing, and so ornate. I only wish there would have been more stories posted of the ones buried inside. It was like walking through a beautiful tree-lined city. The streets were all paved as you pass by the mausoleums - each one more interesting than the next. They have benches under the enormous trees where you can take shelter from the sweltering sun.
