It was the harsh winter of 1871 and Yellow Fever devastated the streets of Buenos Aires. The dead arrived in the Chacarita neighborhood piled up on a funeral train that connected the different parts of the city. A place had to be found to leave the corpses and prevent the plague from spreading. Thus was born the largest cemetery in Argentina, which treasures urban legends and unsolved mysteries . It is also known for its popular saints , who with their music and miracles were and are references for thousands of faithful who every year visit the streets full of historic mausoleums in search of hope. Join us on a walk where we will learn about the origins of the cemetery; Gilda 's story of Carlos Gardel and the popular religiosity that surrounds Gauchito Gil and Difunta Correa .
What are we going to talk about?
History and symbology of the tombs
The Late Correa
Gauchito Gil Sanctuary
Gilda Mausoleum
Tomb of Carlos Gardel
Belek, the Vampire
and much more!
We will wait for you at the main entrance of the cemetery with a black umbrella with the Akelarre Tours logo.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
