As much as I research &amp; share my discoveries in this blog, there&#8217;s always more to learn&#8230; &amp; they shared some fascinating stories. Mar\u00eda Fernanda authored a book about handicapped tourism (&#8220;<em>Grupos Tur\u00edsticos y Discapacidad<\/em>&#8220;), so when a group of the blind toured the cemetery she was contacted to tag along &amp; document the event&#8230; complete with two guide dogs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although I&#8217;ve never happened upon a group like this, I can&#8217;t help but think how wonderful it would be to guide them through the cemetery. It is a place full of sensory experiences &amp; several statues are at ground level. Imagine reading plaques by touch &amp; visiting the following tombs without being able to see them&#8230; fascinating!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Comodoro Rivadavia\" src=\"http:\/\/www.recoletacemetery.com\/images\/200805A08.jpg\" alt=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Comodoro Rivadavia\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Marco Avellaneda, Art Nouveau\" src=\"http:\/\/www.recoletacemetery.com\/images\/201001D15.jpg\" alt=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Marco Avellaneda, Art Nouveau\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires\" src=\"http:\/\/www.recoletacemetery.com\/images\/200902D38.jpg\" alt=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"alert\" style=\"text-align: left;\">First photo courtesy of Mar\u00eda Fernanda Gomez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year I had the pleasure of meeting two guides who know volumes about Recoleta Cemetery: Mario Braun &amp; Mar\u00eda Fernanda Gomez.
