About
Datos rápidos: Walking through rows of elaborate mausoleums feels like exploring an outdoor art gallery, with sculptures so detailed they almost seem alive. Over 6,400 prestigious figures rest here, including presidents, poets, and even Eva Perón, making each visit a journey through history and culture.
Destacados: Visitors often pause by the ornate tomb of Eva Perón, a symbol wrapped in both adoration and mystery, where flower petals are left as a silent tribute. Wandering among over 4,000 elaborate mausoleums, you'll hear whispered tales of Argentine presidents and poets etched in the cold marble, set against a backdrop of towering cypress trees and sighing old sculptures.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for cobbled paths and narrow alleys.
- Visit early to photograph Evita's Duarte family tomb before tour groups arrive.
- Join a short guided tour or pick up an audio guide to understand plaques and family histories.
- Dress respectfully, keep voices low, and secure bags; avoid buying overpriced trinkets from vendors outside the gate.
