Evita Perón is one of Argentina’s most revered and contentious First Ladies.
Relying on her speaking prowess, she endeared herself to the underprivileged for whom she tirelessly toiled, though she did not escape having critics.
This private tour of three hours will provide you with an opportunity to delve deeper into understanding why she was equally loved and vilified, and her growing influence posthumously.
We will journey through landmarks tied to her existence as we explore the obscure secrets of the city, those that can’t be discovered simply through a means of a stroll.
The narrative of this impoverished girl who rose to a significant political force has inspired numerous books, movies, and theatrical pieces. The famous musical ‘Evita’ (1979) by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber was modelled around the life of Perón. Madonna portrayed Perón in the film adaptation in 1996, with Antonio Banderas featuring as Che Guevara.
