Premiering in 2001, “The Amazing Race” pits 11 teams of two people on an around the world trip to see who can complete challenges & finish the course first for one million dollars. Currently on its 15th season, naturally they’ve filmed in Buenos Aires a few times. Season 5, Episode 2\u00a0<\/strong>—airing in 2004— had teams travel by ferry from Uruguay to Buenos Aires & make their way to the tomb of Eva Per\u00f3n. Of course.\u00a0The teams make it, sooner or later, to their next clue inside Recoleta Cemetery:<\/p>\n A few comments:<\/strong> Obviously the cemetery was closed during filming as there are no other tourists around. Driving the teams to the tomb in a vehicle normally used to transport caskets is a bit creepy & useless… Recoleta Cemetery is only four blocks big. Asking caretakers where her tomb is located would have been more realistic, & it’s only a 2-minute walk or 30-second run from the entrance. Better yet, they could have directed teams to the crypt of Aramburu <\/strong>first, then on to Eva with a history lesson along the way… but maybe that’s too much to ask.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Premiering in 2001, “The Amazing Race” pits 11 teams of two people on an around the world trip to see who can complete challenges &…<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.recoletacemetery.com\/images\/amazingrace.png\")
