Highlights
Step into Argentina’s Gilded Age. This experience escapes the tourist trail to explore Recoleta’s grand mansions and magnificent cemetery from an anthropological perspective.
This is an interactive journey. As we stroll from Plaza San Martín to Recoleta Cemetery, we’ll decode the architecture, question narratives, and bring the drama to life.
Explore compelling themes:
The Parisian Illusion: Unpack the ambition that earned Buenos Aires its nickname.
The Rise and Fall: Debate Argentina’s journey as a potential world power.
City of the Dead: See the cemetery as a societal mirror—who is remembered and who is forgotten?
This is more than a history lesson; it’s a chance to understand the forces that built Argentina.
Note: Cemetery entry is optional. Tickets are available at the gate or in advance, online.
