Recoleta cemetery

One of Buenos Aires' main attractions is, in fact, a cemetery. But the sprawling, stone-built site is unlike any graveyard I have had the misfortune of visiting in the past. It is simply beautiful. And, oddly enough, not depressing-- perhaps on account of the insane amounts of animated Brazilians constantly touring the grounds. The main attraction of one of the city's main attractions is Eva Peron's grave, which is relatively simple and devishly well-hidden (as I found out the hard way; see below).














The adulation of Eva Peron still thrives, as these flowers on her tomb indicate.
