Recoleta Cemetery & Belle Époque Neighbourhood Tour

Recoleta Cemetery is a city of the dead — 4,691 above-ground mausoleums packed along marble-paved streets, many designed by the finest architects of the early 20th century. Above ground, the Recoleta neighbourhood's Haussmann-style boulevards, Parisian cafés, and grand museums make it one of the most beautiful urban quarters in the southern hemisphere.
