Parque Aguirre PARK, RIVERSIDE
OFFLINE MAP
This enormous eucalypt- and casuarina-filled area has a disgracefully neglected zoo -
those poor tigers will have someone's hand off one day - campgrounds, swimming pool
and a costanera (riverside road). It's a fine place for a wander, with plenty to keep the
kids entertained, and has a few confiterías and bars.

( www.marchadelosbombos.com.ar ) During the last week of July, santiagueños celebrate the

sands of locals banging all manner of drums.
