What you can expect

Step into the heart of Argentina’s Gilded Age—an era of opulence reserved for the few. This unique experience invites you to escape the tourist trail and engage with Recoleta’s grand mansions, hidden histories, and its magnificent cemetery from an anthropological perspective.

Forget just listening. This is an interactive journey. As we stroll from the historic Plaza San Martín to the iconic Recoleta Cemetery, we won’t just observe the opulence—we’ll investigate it. We’ll decode the architecture, question the narratives, and bring the neighborhood’s drama to life through spirited discussion. You are invited to become part of the conversation as we explore compelling themes:

The Parisian Illusion: Unpack the ambition and wealth that earned Buenos Aires its famous nickname.

The Rise and Autumn: Delve into the era of vast landowners and debate Argentina’s rollercoaster journey as a potential world power.

City of the Dead: Explore Recoleta Cemetery as a mirror of society—who is remembered, who is forgotten, and what secrets lie within its walls?

This is more than a history lesson; it’s a chance to truly understand the forces that built modern Argentina. Practical Information: Actual entry into the cemetery is optional. Tickets can be easily purchased at the entrance or in advance online
