In the heart of Buenos Aires, the historic Recoleta Cemetery stands as a monument to Argentina's grand past. Here, towering mausoleums and ornate marble statues of national heroes create a solemn, labyrinthine city of the dead. But just outside its heavy stone gates, the vibrant energy of contemporary porteño youth culture breathes new life into the historic neighborhood.
