More a city than a simple graveyard, La Recoleta is an ornate labyrinth of towering mausoleums housing Argentina's elite, including Eva Perón. Amidst the stunning sculptures and architecture lie chilling ghost stories. One prominent tale involves Rufina Cambaceres, a young woman mistakenly buried alive in 1902, whose spirit is said to roam the grounds.
