[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thanks so much for watching you lovely people!😊 We hope this video brings a welcome distraction during a time of great sadness for the world. We’re working to keep positive at this time and hope you’re all safe and well. “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” Martin Luther King JR

Craig, el cementerio de Recoleta, es considerado un museo al aire libre.-

[@TideKnotTravellers]

@@OsvaldoDuarte-p2v Ciertamente puedo ver por qué, ¡es un lugar bastante increíble e histórico!

[@TheMapPinners]

Wow what an incredible cemetery! I've never seen one as grand or extravagant as that before - it really is like a city for the dead! 11 full-sized coffins buried above ground in one structure? And that was just a medium-sized one in the graveyard? Amazing.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It was so surreal for us walking round it all! 😮

[@lynnelloyd-williams6906]

Wow the monuments are incredible what an interesting amazing place

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It was so interesting, probably even better if we’d got an English speaking tour guide! 😆

[@LucasWorldTravel]

There are some above ground mausoleum cementaries in New Orleans as well, but these in Buenos Aires are definitely more intricate. Beautiful monuments. Glad you finally found Evita's grave and had it all to yourselves for a minute.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We had no idea this was a thing until posting this video and reading comments. It was so strange for us seeing caskets with bodies everywhere.

[@TravelInteresante]

Interesting visit in Argentina! I have never heard of a cemetery tour before, that sounds so unique and fascinating. Hope it wasn't the coffins punching out themselves, that just sounds scary lol Aww cute, I always have a tendency to apologize to people when I can't say certain words in English as well, I get how it feels like :)

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It was interesting and can see why it’s a top sight in BA but it was also a little eerie at times 😅 we appreciate so much how hard it is to speak in another language.

[@johnbrenttravel]

A bucketlist place for sure in the city. You put this together really well. The food at the end looked buzzing.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you 😊 it’s definitely a place worth seeing in Buenos Aires!

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Wow the story of the 19 year old girl is like my worst fear in the world :( We have above ground cemeteries like this at home too - especially in Galveston TX So awesome you got to see Eva's monument 💜

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It’s truly harrowing isn’t it 😱 can only imagine how many more tales there must be from this place, if only we could read Spanish or had a guide 😅 Wow, we’ve been to Galveston (lovely beach☺️) had no idea above ground cemeteries were ever a thing!

[@PrathameshBhat7288]

HI5 Buddy! wonderful video dear!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you 😊

[@lindae5937]

Very interesting to see & hear about this famous cemetery. Glad you managed to find Evita’s tomb - gave you & us all a good look around! Quite creepy in places, I’m sure. Esp as we’re not used to bodies above ground! The money put into these monuments is incredible! Sad you always get vandals at these places. Great to see the new side of Recolletta too & a totally opposite vibe! Very lively! Thanks.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

The money spent on these things is crazy! Fancier than the buildings that most people live in. We could’ve wandered around for longer if it wasn’t so hot as there was still more to be seen, it’s huge!

[@AnaGastarova]

Fantastic

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you ☺️

[@gasparirigoyen7790]

There is a cemetery in the Chacarita neighborhood that is divided into 3, one for Argentines, and then next to it is the British cemetery and further on the German cemetery.

[@josemariabravin7692]

Argentina es única....solo en argentina el turismo extranjero va a visitar un cementerio...

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We have been amazed by the uniqueness so far, it feels like multiple countries in one 🤩

[@josemariabravin7692]

@@TideKnotTravellers así es....es que Argentina durante 100 años recibió 6 7 millones de inmigrantes de italia...españa....francia..alemania...también irlandeses y británicos...rusos polacos y sirios libaneses.....y eso se nota en cada rincon de Argentina....este pais estaba prácticamente deshabitado a mediados del siglo 19 y toda esta inmigracion forma el pueblo argentino y toda su idiosincrasia su arquitectura sus costumbres...saludos

[@Explorcation]

Hey guys, that cemetery is way different than what I expected it to be. I have never been to a cemetery with monuments like that. Kirsty does remember all of the interesting stories! That is funny everyone was apologizing for not knowing better English...also not expected!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It was like a mini walled city of incredible architecture from around the world! My friends always laugh at how detailed my memory is, comes in handy for times when you can’t read the language and have no wifi😂 The locals seem so sweet, we always feel bad for visiting countries and not knowing much of their language but we never expect them to apologise for their level of English.

[@Explorcation]

@@TideKnotTravellers I'm sure it comes in very handy. We also would never expect them to apologize for poor English, but sadly some tourists probably do.

[@miguelgarr576]

The huge mausoleum you saw like a geek or rome is for Dr. Federico Leloir Chemistry Nobel Prize 1970. Regards

I think it is possible to spend months in BA and still have so much to see and do (and eat!) thank you for the tips ☺️

[@davidluna2211]

Si les fascinó el de la Recoleta, si van a la Chacarita se caen de espaldas 😁, en algunos panteones y tumbas se pueden apreciar cajones abiertos con los huesos a la vista 😱

[@TideKnotTravellers]

¿ah, de verdad? guau 😮

[@TheAverageTourist]

I think that would be such an interesting place to explore - but I'm with you Kirsty, I think it would be freaky after 6pm... definitely wouldn't want to go in the dark. I would probably also get turned around and lose my husband in there. Some of the grave monuments are so intricate! Your lunch looked perfect for after all that walking. I also wish I spoke better Spanish.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

I was so torn between amazed and slightly scared the whole time. Fascination would get the best of me and I’d be reading and craig filming and we’d lose each other 😬 our Spanish is slowly improving as time passes in this part of the world 😊

Carlos Pellegrini was a former president, another thing, the tomb of Evita does not say Evita, but the duarte family's maiden name, I think the mother and brother are there

[@TideKnotTravellers]

You’re right it just say her real name Eva.

[@magdalenadelrosal1043]

Those squared spaces on the wall are called niches (nichos) and are cheaper than mausoleums (we call them vaults) and more expensive than a ground burial. So in an ordinary cemetery you would have the cheapest places (ground); then niches and then family vaults.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Can see how they'd be cheaper than mausoleums, it was interesting to see but wow they are huge and intimidating up close.

[@ianneilschmidt4882]

Perhaps Tide Knot Travellers might want to consider also making a video of Chacarita Cemetery?

[@leonardoc7800]

There is other Cementery in the city building out the limits in the s.XIX. Beacuase for Fiebre Amarilla (Yellow Fever), in this time almost the 40% people of Bs.As died for this Pandemia. Have a Lot of Mausoleums

[@TideKnotTravellers]

I was reading about this in a museum today, I remember reading that exact statistic about Yellow Fever, it sounded crazy 😕

[@alejandrodelabarra2838]

I'll make you a little observation: It is not just for "famous and political people" it is for everyone who has a tomb there. Most of them are absolutely "unknown people."

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Anyone with a lot of money to do so, it seems ☺️
