Buenos Aires: Cementerio de la Recoleta

The rich and powerful in Argentina go to rest in this cemetery. There are presidents, dictators, writers, but it's probably best known for being the resting place of Evita (who is virtually a deity in Argentina).


Size matters after death too. Some of the most opulent tombs in the cemetery are the size of my apartment.


Tourists from all over the world visit the the cemetery, I think mainly for the art. The tombs are decorated with some incredible statues.
