The Recoleta Cemetery is a famous cemetery in the city of Buenos Aires. It is located in the distinguished neighborhood of Recoleta and contains the tombs of many outstanding personalities of the country. It was inaugurated on November 17, 1822. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the city, famous for its numerous and imposing mausoleums and vaults adorned with marbles and sculptures. Its architectural value is a sample of the times when Argentina was an emerging economic power in the late nineteenth century, and the wealthiest families of the city began moving to the Recoleta area and building splendid pantheons in the cemetery.

200 meters away from the main entrance gate of the Recoleta Cemetery stands the vault of the Duarte family where five meters underground in the second basement are the remains of María Eva Duarte de Perón, the real Evita. The vault of the Duarte was opened to receive Evita in 1974 when his remains were repatriated from Spain. Before her body had been the subject of a confusing historical episode that includes her exile in the mid-fifties and his burial in an Italian cemetery under a false name. The vault shows an art deco trend of the thirties. Its door is made of bronze with flowers and leaves that serve as a background to a Latin cross.

Guide was knowledgeable and had a good grasp of English. He was able to design worthwhile tour around our mobility disabilities. We felt that we didn’t miss out on anything and came away with an excellent grasp of times and Eva’s place in and contributions to that history

Rosa was very knowledgeable and we very much enjoyed our trip. She also explained the architecture of the city. Due to snow at home we missed going on a city tour. Rosa filled us in a lot.
