This is a lovely garden in the middle of Buenos Aires! You could spent a few hours exploring the interesting buildings, walking the paths and discovering the big mature trees, fabulous flowers and tropical fauna! Dozens of beautiful sculptures, a couple of water displays and plenty of park benches to relax on!

A wonderful Garden to walk through in a urban setting at no cost. Plenty of shade on a hot, sunny day. Some nice sculptures/statues throughout.

A must if you’re in the area. Serene and peaceful. It’s fenced so look for entry points in advance.

It’s a big gardens and has some beautiful trees and is a nice peaceful from the city. Honestly, I think it has so much more potential, but is still impressive.

This is such a beautiful place to walk around, take pictures or even unwind reading a book. But keep in mind the the ground will leave your shoes orangish, so don't wear your favourite white ones.
