Want a chilling experience in Buenos Aires? Then this tour around the British Cemetery is perfect.

Tour Description

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the main entrance to the British Cemetery. This burial site in Buenos Aires offers a tour focused on its tombs and historical context.

This cemetery is the first private cemetery in Argentina, originally built exclusively for protestants, but has become a diverse burial site. A guide will detail its role in advancing British and Argentinian alliances.

The tour will include a walk through the mausoleums, highlighting funerary art. We will stop at key locations like the cineraria crypt, the cemetery's chapel, the ceremonial gate, and the Bicentenary Memorial.

We will also visit the tombs of notable figures in the history of Argentina and Great Britain, including William Morris, Lauriston Conder, Cecilia Grierson, Andrew Dick, Kenneth Charney, and the Drasdille family. The guide will provide insights into their lives and deaths.

The tour lasts for 2 hours and concludes at the meeting point.
