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

Tour Description

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the main entrance to the British Cemetery. We'll enter this burial site in Buenos Aires and tour its tombs.

This is the first private cemetery in Argentina, originally built for protestants but now a diverse burial site. The guide will explain the significance of this place for British and Argentinian alliances.

We'll explore the mausoleums and learn about funerary art. Highlights include the cineraria crypt, the cemetery's chapel, the ceremonial gate, and the Bicentenary Memorial.

We'll also visit the tombs of significant individuals in the history of Argentina and Great Britain, such as William Morris, Lauriston Conder, Cecilia Grierson, Andrew Dick, Kenneth Charney, and the Drasdille family. Questions regarding their lives and deaths will be addressed.

Finally, we'll conclude this tour back at the meeting point after 2 hours.
