Recoleta Cemetery
By day the vast extent of the Recoleta Cemetery becomes more evident. A virtual city of tombs, it is a great place to spend a few hours walking along it's streets and paths and investigating the elaborate resting places of the famous of Argentina. It's most famous occupant is Evita, who is buried in her family's tomb here. It is the Duarte Family tomb, and is easily found by spotting the crowds around it. Her husband, Juan Peron, was not buried here but rather in La Chicarita Cemetery in northern Buenos Aires.
The top of our cruise ship is just barely visible in the harbor at the top of the picture. See the notation.
Best viewed large to see all the details.
