Recoleta Cemetery
Recoleta Cemetery is an open-air museum and one of the most atmospheric places in the city. Marble mausoleums, stained glass, sculptures, and stories of Argentina's 19th–20th century elite. It's not about fear—it's about architecture, aesthetics, and history.
🚶♀️ How to Get There
Address: Junín 1760, Recoleta
• 🚇 Subway: Line D — Facultad de Derecho or Callao stations
• 🚕 Uber / Cabify — the easiest option
• 🚶 On foot — convenient to combine with a walk around Recoleta
Opening Hours:
Daily from approximately 10:00 AM to 5:00–6:00 PM (depending on the season).
The best time to visit is in the morning: fewer people and beautiful light.
🎟 Entrance Fee
• For foreigners: ~ USD 14–15
• For Argentine citizens and residents: free entry (with DNI)
💡 Payment is made at the entrance, and prices may vary slightly—it's best to have a card.
🏛 Must-See Spots
1. Eva Perón's Mausoleum (Evita)
The most famous tomb in Argentina, always adorned with flowers and visitors.

One of the most photogenic — neo-Gothic style and stained glass.

• 👗 Dress calmly and aesthetically: the place is very "Instagrammable"
• 🎧 You can take a tour or audio guide, but the place is visually impressive even without one
• ⏱ Plan for 1–1.5 hours to visit
Buenos Aires
The ultra-long flight from Shanghai to Buenos Aires, Argentina, operated by China Eastern Airlines with a stopover in Auckland, has finally launched. Has anyone already flown it? How was the experience?
This route will make more travelers' Antarctic dreams come true!
Speaking of Antarctica, besides the Argentina and Brazil itinerary I mentioned last time, many friends have asked Summer: "What about combining Argentina 🇦🇷 and Chile 🇨🇱 together?"
Argentina + Antarctica + Chile 28-day itinerary to copy directly:
Day 1: Arrive in Buenos Aires
Day 2: Buenos Aires city tour, fly to Puerto Iguazu at night
Day 3: Full-day tour of Iguazu Falls on the Argentine side
Day 4: Fly from Puerto Iguazu back to Buenos Aires, then connect to Ushuaia
Day 5: Visit the world's end post office in Ushuaia during the day, prepare to board the ship in the afternoon
Days 6-13: Explore the Antarctic continent
Day 14: Return to Ushuaia, fly to El Calafate
Day 15: Full-day tour of the Perito Moreno Glacier
I mentioned before that after Antarctica, the Perito Moreno Glacier is optional because you might experience aesthetic fatigue.
But some friends said, since I’ve come all this way flying tens of thousands of kilometers to Argentina, I want to spend a day at Perito Moreno Glacier! So here’s a day reserved for it!
Day 16: Cross the border from El Calafate to Puerto Natales
When Summer was helping friends plan the trip, someone asked: "Is one day really needed just for crossing the border?"
The drive from El Calafate to Puerto Natales takes 5-6 hours, plus customs time, so it basically takes a whole day!
Day 17: Depart from Puerto Natales, full-day bus tour in Torres del Paine
Day 18: Full-day hike to the Torres del Paine towers
Day 19: Fly from Puerto Natales to Santiago
Day 20: Fly from Santiago to Easter Island
Day 21: Full-day tour of the eastern coast of Easter Island 🗿
Day 22: Full-day tour of the southern and western coasts of Easter Island 🗿
Day 23: Return from Easter Island to Santiago
Day 24: Day trip to the graffiti town Valparaiso from Santiago
Day 25: Fly from Santiago to Calama, then drive to Atacama
Day 26: El Tatio Geysers + sunset at Moon Valley 🌙
Day 27: Altiplano lagoons + Red Stone full-day tour
Day 28: Return from Atacama to Santiago, or head north to the Uyuni Salt Flats, the "Sky Mirror"
Most travelers who want to combine Antarctica with Argentina and Chile will definitely visit Torres del Paine;
After Torres del Paine, everyone ends up in Santiago, making trips to Easter Island and Atacama super easy!

La Boca
Argentina’s poetry is passionate yet melancholic, free yet restrained.
The air here carries the breath of tango, the pulse of football, and centuries of culture slowly flowing through the streets.
🎭 At the Colón Theatre, the golden dome quietly swallows time. Sitting in the deep red velvet seats, watching the lights rise, it feels as if time stands still in the music.
💃🏻 Tango at night
Every close move and turn of the dancers is like a story told without words—passion, restraint, desire, and freedom expressed in a single step. This is the soulful warmth only Argentina can possess.
⚽️ La Boca — stepping into the most colorful place
The blues and yellows, reds and greens here seem to dismantle and reassemble life itself, so vivid it looks like it might flow down the walls. The music on the street corners, the paintings on the walls, the kids playing soccer, and the ever-ready tango all make you smile uncontrollably.
Plaza de Mayo
I used to think that going to Argentina required three layovers and over 40 hours of flight time. Working people would have to save up their annual leave again and again, and gather courage repeatedly before setting off. Even I, who have traveled to 50 countries around the world, gave up on the idea because of this long flight distance. This name, lying on my travel list for many years, has attracted everyone because of the widest waterfall on Earth, the weeping Moreno Glacier, and other super cool places. Now I have good news to share: China Eastern Airlines has newly launched the Shanghai Pudong - Buenos Aires route, officially starting on December 4th. From now on, reaching the other side of the Earth can finally be done with a direct flight.
📓 Staying up late organizing travel plans, my "End of the World" check-in list:
🌟 Unlock iconic scenes of Buenos Aires
1⃣ | National Congress Dome
📍 Photo tip: Shoot from the fountain in the square looking up! The brown-red dome + clock tower carving details are absolutely beautiful when the evening lights come on~
🔥 Insider tip: Close to Plaza de Mayo, recommended to go early morning to avoid tour groups, wearing a white long dress makes for great photos!
2⃣ | Romantic Clock Tower at Plaza de Mayo
📍 Photo tip: Shoot the panorama from the garden railing opposite! Pink flowers + white building with double-layer clock tower, the dusk light and window shadows create a very storytelling vibe~
💡 Fun fact: This is the birthplace of Argentina’s independence movement, and the Rose Palace presidential residence is a 5-minute walk away!
3⃣ | La Boca Colorful Paradise
📍 Photo tip: Shoot diagonally from the green bench at the street corner! Pink, blue, and yellow clashing walls + vintage street lamps, the color saturation is MAX when the afternoon sun shines obliquely!
🎨 Activity: There is street tango performance on Saturdays, remember to buy handmade leather bags as souvenirs~
4⃣ | Obelisk City Night View
📍 Photo tip: From the window of a high-rise restaurant beside Avenida 9 de Julio! Car light trails + purple sunset backdrop highlight the pure white obelisk, you can take stunning shots even with your phone!
🌃 Night tour tip: There is a light show on Friday nights, paired with Argentine empanadas at a street-side café, super cozy!
5⃣ | Dome and Clock Tower Dialogue
📍 Photo tip: Use a telephoto lens on the pedestrian bridge across the street! The red dome and the distant round dome building in the same frame, the blue hour with the city lights just coming on is the most dreamy~
📓 Also including a guide for Auckland!
🎬 **Weta Workshop | Lord of the Rings fans will scream with excitement! An immersive experience center created by the special effects team of "Avatar" and "The Hobbit"!

Buenos Aires
Who would have thought! Encountering the "Library of Heaven" in Buenos Aires✨
El Ateneo Grand Splendid is truly breathtaking!
The moment you walk in, you're stunned by the dome frescoes and vintage red curtains, as if stepping into a century-old opera house🎭
📖 Photo tips:
The best spot is by the railing on the second floor, offering a cinematic top-down view of the entire space.
From 3 to 5 PM, sunlight slants in beautifully, creating amazing light and shadow! Remember to wear light-colored clothes for better photos👗
🚇 How to get there:
Take Metro Line D to Santa Fe station, then a 2-minute walk.
Address: Av. Santa Fe 1860, Buenos Aires
🎫 Tickets & hours:
Free entry! Open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM (opens a bit later on Sundays).
But you need to buy a book or coffee to sit down. Highly recommend ordering a coffee☕️ and zoning out in the stage area for full ambiance.
💡 Hidden gems:
Originally a theater from 1919! Pay attention to the ceiling and box details, and you can still see the old audience seat numbers.
A must-visit for Borges fans! He once said, "Heaven should look like a library"❤️
⚠️ Tips to avoid crowds:
Weekends are super busy! It's best to visit on weekday mornings for quiet and great photos📸
Don’t just focus on taking pictures—browse the original Spanish books, you might find some treasures📚
La Boca
