Exploring Recoleta & Eva Perón’s Legacy|Historic Pantheon, Plaza Dante & Hidden City Gems (Nov 2024)

Join me as I explore some of Buenos Aires’ most historical and culturally rich sites — starting with Cementerio de la Recoleta, a stunning cemetery that holds over 4000 ornate mausoleums and statues. Known for its intricate carvings and inward-facing stained glass windows designed to let the light of God shine upon the departed, this peaceful place feels like an open-air museum.

Next, we visit the Panteón de Eva Perón, the final resting place of María Eva Duarte de Perón — the beloved “Evita.” This grand and emotional tribute captures both her influence as Argentina’s most iconic first lady and her lasting impact as a champion of social justice. The Pantheon’s marble halls, floral tributes, and historic atmosphere make it a must-visit site in Buenos Aires.

We also stopped by Plaza Dante — a green, shaded space surrounded by sculptures, fountains, and notable
monuments such as the Archer by Antonio Bourdelle and the statue of President Figueroa Alcorta. Located between Parque Tres de Febrero and Recoleta, this square beautifully blends history with serenity.

Finally, we crossed Puente Peatonal Dr. Alfredo Roque Vítolo — a charming pedestrian bridge offering unique views, including the metallic tulip-shaped sculpture Floralis Genérica. And of course, I couldn’t resist trying an Acai bowl on the way — refreshing and delicious!
