This is the grave that many people tour Recoleta Cemetery to find. Eva Duarte de Peron was the wife of Juan Peron, and alternately idolized by the descamisados whose causes she espoused, or despised by the oligarchy of Argentina's wealthy and powerful.
The story of her death, the embalming that's kept her body almost pristine for decades, the hiding of her body in Europe, and finally, her return to Argentina is a fantasic one that attracts interest to this day.
Juan Peron is buried in another cemetery in the capital.
