In Case You Were Wondering…
The Recoleta Cemetery is a favorite among tourists who visit Buenos Aires. The rows upon rows containing relics of Buenos Aires past, along with the architecture is hard to pass up. Some favorites of our are the crying angels to the sky, and some of the large mausoleums along the back side of the cemetery. Oh, and of course Evita’s grave.
