Recoleta Walking Tour

Recoleta is one of the neighborhoods that explains why Buenos Aires became known as the “Paris of South America.”

Tree-lined avenues, French-inspired architecture, former mansions and monumental buildings tell the story of an era when Argentina's most influential families looked toward Europe while reshaping their capital.

This Recoleta walking tour with cemetery admission combines an exploration of the neighborhood with its most famous landmark: the remarkable Recoleta Cemetery.

Far more than a traditional cemetery, Recoleta resembles a miniature city of narrow passageways lined with elaborate mausoleums, sculptures and monuments.

Presidents, military leaders, writers, politicians and members of families that helped shape modern Argentina are buried here.

Among them is the cemetery's internationally best-known resident: Eva Perón.

Visit Evita's tomb and learn about the remarkable story behind one of Argentina's most famous and debated historical figures.

Yet Evita represents only one chapter of the cemetery's history.

Your guide reveals the stories behind other mausoleums and explains the architecture, symbolism and personalities found throughout this extraordinary site.

Outside the cemetery, explore the elegant streets of Recoleta and discover the French and Belle Époque influences that helped define the neighborhood.

Together, these elements create an experience that combines architecture, politics, personal stories and Argentine history.

For U.S. and Canadian travelers searching for a Recoleta Cemetery tour, Eva Perón tomb tour, Evita tour in Buenos Aires or Recoleta walking tour, having a knowledgeable guide makes a major difference in understanding what might otherwise simply appear to be a beautiful collection of monuments.
