It is in this square where also we can find the cathedral that holds the mausoleum of Don Jose de San Martin, the father of Argentina. Moving from the citys center, we cross the districts of Tigre and Palermo, to relax among its lakes and ample green zones. Take a walk by the port zone, between Puerto Madera and Boca.

Dont miss the Museum of Modern Art or the National Historical Museum. It is impossible to over-emphasize a visit to the Recoleta Cemetery, which contains some of the most beautiful mausoleums in the world. Among them is the tomb of Eva Perón, which daily receives the highest number of visitors and whose flowers are replaced every day. Buenos Aires, known as the Paris of South America, is a noble and warm city, the vanguard of a continent.
