    Recoleta Cemetery Tour

    Posted by tinatomas 12 March 2006

    There are plenty of options for seeing the Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires Argentina. I went by myself the first day in the city and got lost in the cemetery and could not find where Evita was buried. So I looked online to find a decent walking tour.

    One of the least expensive tours I found was a daily tour. I met my guide at the starting point and paid only 20 pesos for the 2 hours.

    I was guided through the old palaces of Alvear and learned a great deal of history about Argentina. Then I was shown where many museums were that I went back to visit.

    In the cemetery I really began to see the picture of Argentina and why the country is the way it is. Many legends are buried in the cemetery and there were a great deal of interesting stories.

    I felt the tour was of high quality and took the Daily City Tour they offered as well.

    Evita's tomb was not as impressive as many of the other tombs in the cemetery. The sculptures and architecture was fascinating.

    Buenos Aires Tango Show

    Posted by tinatomas 12 March 2006

    I saw the Piazzolla Tango Show for 200 pesos (140 without dinner). I was very impressed. The three course dinner was good with a nice bottle of wine, although the service made many mistakes and the menu was very simple.

    The show was great. The band was excellent, the singers were fantastic, and the dancers perfect. There might have been a story line but I could not figure it out. You will enjoy it even though it is a very controlled experience, I felt like I was in a scene from the Godfather. Very Italian.
