$70
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

This walking tour was designed for those who want more than data: they seek stories, humanity and a local look. It is a close experience, one of those that remain in the memory.

We will see how this area became the symbol of Porteño luxury. Where does his name come from? Why do they call it the Paris of Latin America?

The richest thing about this walk is inside the Cemetery, considered an open-air museum. This place contains stories that feed several urban legends, but others are so incredible that they seem to be taken from a movie:

Felicitas Guerrero, the first recorded femicide in Argentina.
Rufina Cambaceres, the young woman who died twice.
Eva Duarte, why is she buried in the most armored vault of all?

These and more stories will be present in this circuit full not only of information, but also of sights, images and landscapes worth remembering.

**Cemetery ticket is NOT included, it is charged by the City Government. It will be paid on admission.**
