What each tour covers
Hear a stop from this walk
National Congress: The Other End of the Axis
- Plaza de Mayo: The Square Where a Nation Keeps Being Made: A walk from the Plaza de Mayo along the Avenida de Mayo to the National Congress, where every government and every crowd has remade the country's stage to say who Argentina is: a wrapped pyramid, a Cabildo cut down twice, a goddess taken off a roof, the Mothers' painted scarves and a steel Evita.
- Recoleta Cemetery: The City of the Dead That Outshone the Living: Behind a Doric gate in Buenos Aires, the landowning families of Argentina raised a marble city for their dead grander than much of the living one, and the longest queue leads to an outsider they scorned in life.
