Buenos Aires, Argentina after cruise


We stayed in Buenos Aires an additional day after the cruise and took a tour of the city and a trip to a working ranch for a BBQ. Our first stop in the city was the La Recoleta Cemetery. The Cemetery includes graves of some of the most influential and important persons of Argentina, including several presidents and Eva PerĂ³n, the best known person buried in this cemetery.



Some of the mausoleums in the cemetery.





A flower statue that closes at night and opens during the day.



Heading through the ranch land to the La Fortuna ranch in the town of Salto. Lots of flat grass land and cows.



The BBQ. Lots of great food.





Our waiter.



Gauchos.



Folk dancers.



Back in Buenos Aires and heading to the airport.
