Tierra Santa, Religious theme park in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Tierra Santa is a theme park in Buenos Aires that features more than 30 biblical scenes with life-sized figures, buildings, and streets recreating ancient Jerusalem. The grounds spread across several hectares and allow visitors to walk through reconstructed streets and squares depicting religious stories.
The park was founded to bring biblical narratives to life in a single location. In 2008, it received a visit from the then-Archbishop of Buenos Aires, acknowledging the project's importance to the religious community.
The park displays elements from three major religions through a mosque, synagogue, and various Christian representations on its grounds. Visitors can explore these religious structures side by side and compare their different architectural styles.
The grounds north of Buenos Aires are easily reached by public transport, particularly by buses running directly to the location. Plan to spend several hours exploring all the scenes comfortably and pausing at the various installations and presentations.
A 40-foot (12 m) mechanical Jesus statue rises from a mountain replica every hour while music plays. This regularly recurring spectacle draws many visitors who want to witness this particular moment.

Buenos Aires reveals a patrimonial wealth that goes beyond the usual circuits. This collection gathers places that tell the story of the Argentine capital through its architecture, green spaces, and cultural institutions. From the XVIIIth-century tunnel network of El Zanjón de Granados to the 22 stories of Palacio Barolo, these sites reflect the city's urban evolution. The itinerary includes diverse sites such as Palermo's Japanese Garden with its ponds and pavilions, the Museo de Arte Español Enrique Larreta showcasing works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, and the moving Floralis Genérica sculpture whose petals open at sunrise. Neighborhoods like San Telmo, Barracas, and Colegiales offer architectural discoveries such as 19th-century passages, facades decorated with mosaics on Calle Lanín, and the Mercado de las Pulgas filled with Argentine antiques. These locations allow exploring Buenos Aires beyond postcards and observe how the city has preserved its history while growing. Each site provides a different perspective on porteña culture, from Carlos Gardel’s tango to European and Asian influences shaping the city’s identity.
