Realizamos o tour no cemitério da Recileta com a guia Silvia. O passeio foi incrível, cheio de histórias e informações dos que já se foram. Ficamos encantados com os contos e com a beleza da arquitetura de cada tumba. Agradecemos imensamente a guia Silvia, que nos deu a oportunidade de aprender mais um pedacinho da história de Buenos Aires.
