Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
The City of La Plata in Buenos Aires Province is home to three amazing churches that are visited by millions of tourists. The Cathedral of La Plata is the sixth tallest church in all of the Americas the fifty-eighth tallest church in the world. The city’s design was laid out by engineer Pedro Benoit, and the Cathedral of La Plata looks down on a public square. Construction was started in 1882, but the cathedral did not open until 1932.
The Neoclassical design of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral in the city center that might remind you of Greece. A close look will show that Catholic iconography embellishes the front wall and the twelve columns represent the apostles of Christ. A fascinating architectural style for a South American church.
Be sure to have your camera by your side when you visit the unique Church of Jesus in the Garden of Olives in the Olivos suburb of Buenos Aires. This unique abbey’s exterior is completely covered in ivy which creates makes it appear to belong in a garden. It’s a “must-see” for South American vacations.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

São Paulo, Brazil
