Meet your guide

Hi! I'm Esteban Nigro — a licensed tour guide and storyteller. For over 5 years, I’ve shared the secrets of Recoleta Cemetery with travelers from all over the world.

My tours bring together history, art, and emotion. I believe cemeteries are not just about death — they're about life, memory, and meaning.

What’s the tour about?

This 2.5-hour walking tour takes you through the heart of Recoleta Cemetery, a place where history, memory, and architecture come together. You'll hear powerful stories, uncover surprising facts, and explore both famous tombs and hidden corners — all in English and in a small, relaxed group.

Explore inside impressive mausoleums and artistic symbolism.

We begin outside the cemetery with an introduction to its history and the neighborhood.
