Recoleta Cemetery - The Ultimate Walking Tour
Joined 2022
In 1880´s some families in Buenos Aires had so much money and lived in so amazing palaces, that started to think how would be their lives after death. That´s when they got interested in the Recoleta Cemetery and started to import entire mausoleums from Europe made by the best artist you could hire at the time. Join me in the unique experience of getting to know each corner of this cemetery and the pretty particular mausoleums we find inside, that you can´t find them anywhere in the entire world!

About Tour Guide Esteban N.
I am passionate about discovering history, in the same place that happened. For that I walk all around Buenos Aires, observe, read and study old photos. And then I prepare a guided tour!
I studied theater 4 years with Carolina Adamovsky, I did a 4 month course "Guided Visit: conceptual framework, planning and guidance techniques" by Roberto García Coni and another 4 month course "Buenos Aires neighbourhoods" (2018).
Argentine history is exciting, and I would love to share it with others!! Welcome to Buenos Aires!
