Today my husband and I took a field trip to visit the
Cementerio de Recoleta. If you ever make
if to Buenos Aires, you have to see it.
It is an amazing sight to behold.
Built in the 1700’s by monks, Cementerio de Recoleta is comprised of 14
acres of very elaborate graves, crypts, and mausoleums. Argentina’s famous Evita Peron is buried
there. You could spend an entire day
walking amongst the maze of ornate grave sites.
I always find it fascinating how other cultures pay homage to their
dead. For the wealthy of Buenos Aires, elaborate
is the word that comes to mind…
