Lonely Planet review for Cementerio de la Recoleta

Wander for hours in this amazing cemetery where ‘streets’ are lined with impressive statues and marble sarcophagi. Crypts hold the remains of the city’s elite: past presidents, military heroes, influential politicians and the rich and famous. Hunt down Evita’s grave, and bring your camera – there are some great photo ops here. Tours in English are available at 11am on Tuesday and Thursday (call to confirm). For a great map and information, order Robert Wright’s PDF map at www.recoletacemetery.com.

    Cats aplenty are found sleeping in and around tombs. The more interesting tombs are the ones in disrepair. Good place to see how the wealthy die.
