After filming for Globe Trekker on a hot & steamy February afternoon earlier this year, producers couldn’t give me a firm estimate about the release date. I guessed October… just about right. The Buenos Aires city guide episode (Season 16, Episode 1) aired in the UK in May 2012, in Europe at the end of October & at the beginning of November in the US.
I liked that the segment focused on important figures other than Eva Perón. Obviously her life (& death) story draw many people to the cemetery. But after years of documenting & guiding there, it’s refreshing that Roca could share a little of the spotlight along with Firpo & Rufina. And that’s my patented Rufina casket lid slide move. No copying!
The episode has been removed from online viewing, but there might be a platform out there that still has it. As of Dec 2025, Amazon Prime has the first season of Globe Trekker available so that may lead to more. If anyone finds a link, let me know!
