Two Special Attractions
Outside the City
La Reserva Ecológica de la Costanera Sur
This ecological reserve is a wetlands park
located on the waterfront south of the city. It is
a five-minute taxi ride from Plaza de Mayo but
you can walk there in under 30 minutes.
Stretching for over two miles, this network of
lagoons and marshes was created in the 1970s,
as the beaches that once lined the southern
shore became polluted. Dikes were built of
landfill refuse; then the river's silt and mother
nature took over. There are trails along the
dikes and the area is filled with flowers. Birds
roam freely, unafraid of human visitors.
Cranes, swans and colorful birds we'd never
seen before soar through the air over the tall
grasses. Open daily from 8 am to 6 pm. Guided
Tour Sunday afternon at 3:30. Closed major
holidays.
