While your Lonely Planet gives great ideas for places to go, you probably won\u2019t find a section on the ghost of Recoleta, Rufina, or the underground tunnels used by the Jesuits to escape to Rio de la Plata. These walking tours are an excellent way to get to know the city, not just the streets and neighborhoods but also the culture and history embedded into every corner of it.<\/p>\n<p>Having already visited some of the sites in Buenos Aires on my own, I know from personal experience the value of taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/tours-activities-buenos-aires.html\">guided Tour\u00a0in Buenos Aires<\/a>. It was my third time to the Recoleta cemetery, and it started out exactly the same as every other time I had ventured to the creepy cemetery located right in the heart of stylish Recoleta. We walked through the massive entrance and were greeted by the same haunting cats that roam the cemetery day in and day out. This time though the vaults had a story. The family names encrusted on the granite monuments suddenly had more meaning. Mente Argentina&#8217;s wonderful guide gave us an idea of the types of families who bury their deceased in such classy quarters. Ironically most of the vaults are neighboring their enemy&#8217;s vault. Can you imagine being buried for eternity next to your arch nemesis?<br \/>\nEvita. Oh Evita. The Duarte<a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/evita.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-717 alignleft\" title=\"evita\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/evita-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/evita-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/evita.jpg 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/a> vault is a typical, stark black granite giving it a distinct \u2018modern\u2019 look, compared to the surrounding tombs that mirror the architecture found around the city. It\u2019s hidden in the maze of narrow, empty paths and you probably wouldn\u2019t even know you arrived (especially if you didn\u2019t know that Duarte is Eva Peron\u2019s maiden name) if it wasn\u2019t for the crowd of tourists squeezing around it trying to get a quick photo. Ask your guide about the many locations that Evita\u2019s body was taken to in Argentina, don\u2019t ask her about Madonna\u2019s inaccurate portrayal of the beloved icon.<br \/>\nNext check out Rufina, the ghost of Recoleta. Her tomb is exceptionally beautiful with a statue of a young woman greeting her visitors. Without a guide you may stop and admire the lovely statue, but with a guide you get the full story. Our guide told us the spine-chilling story of Rufina\u2019s death. It is especially eerie when told by an Argentinean in a calm and casual accented English.<br \/>\nAnother great tour in Buenos Aires to take while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/3\/Study-Abroad-Programs\/12\/Academic-Semester-Program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studying abroad\u00a0in Buenos Aires<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/9\/Internship-and-Volunteer\/23\/Volunteer-Program-in-Argentina\">volunteering\u00a0in Buenos Aires<\/a> is La Boca.

Speaking of San Telmo, this lovely barrio is also a part of the Boca tour. San Telmo is one of the most unique neighborhoods in Buenos Aires with it&#8217;s antique charm and bohemian culture. Walking down the cobblestone streets or enjoying a coffee while watching an impromptu tango couple in Plaza Dorrego will make you appreciate the simple life that was once abundant in the area.<\/p>\n<p>These<a title=\"Mente Argentina Tours\" href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/ingles\/excursiones.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/tours-activities-buenos-aires.html\">tours\u00a0and activities in Buenos Aires<\/a> are especially helpful to do during your first week or two in Buenos Aires , because you will be exposed to several different barrios, bus routes and lifestyles within this immense city. \u00a0So before you head off to the first week of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/9\/Internship-and-Volunteer\/7\/Internship-Program-in-Argentina\">internship\u00a0in Buenos Aires\u00a0<\/a>or of your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/7\/Spanish-Programs\/10\/Intensive-Spanish-Program\">Spanish classes in Buenos Aires <\/a>be sure and sign up for one (or all!!) of the terrific tours Mente Argentina offers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studying Abroad in Buenos Aires is a cultural experience in itself; however, in order to get even more out of your stay here in Buenos Aires, Mente Argentina has collaborated with some local tour guides to provide our Mente amigos with even more opportunity to immerse themselves into the fascinating porte\u00f1o culture.
