Tour description

To take the tour, you must purchase the ticket in advance, which can be obtained at the gate or on the cemetery's website. They only accept credit/debit cards.

The ticket charge is not related to the free tour; it is a provision by the cemetery for restoration works.


DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE RECOLETA CEMETERY:

In the heart of Buenos Aires lies one of the most fascinating cemeteries in Latin America. Recoleta is not just a resting place but an open-air museum where art, politics, science, and mystery intertwine.

Our tour begins with the legend of Rufina Cambaceres, the young aristocrat who, according to the story, was buried alive and left signs of movement in her coffin. We will continue discovering mausoleums with Masonic symbols, imposing sculptures, and epitaphs loaded with meaning. Among the most visited is that of Eva Perón, whose postmortem journey is as famous as her life.

For two hours, we will explore stories that reveal a past that never sleeps, surrounded by angels, marble, and cypresses.

Get ready to experience a unique adventure in a setting where time seems to have stood still.
