What people say
Ariel Blakeman
"The Ecological Reserve is an unusual and unexpected consequence of highway construction throughout Buenos Aires during the mid-20th century. Construction debris and the rubble of demolished buildings were unceremoniously dumped into the Río de la Plata. Over time, sand and sediment began to build up, and then grass and trees began to grow. The birds followed, and now the area is a preserve.
Covering 350 hectares, the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve is the biggest and most biodiverse green space in the city of Buenos Aires. Despite its proximity to the busy downtown area, with the skyscrapers of Puerto Madero in plain sight, it's a remarkably tranquil oasis of calm, and a haven for wildlife.
You can walk around the park in about an hour, or hire a bike near the entrance. "

"The ecological reserve is open at 8am, but is closed on Mondays, and rainy days.
I suggest coming early when the city is more quiet and you can hear the sounds of animals. It's a great and relaxing place to take a walk and get some quiet away from the sounds of the city.
The reserva is full of dirt paths and you'll see many runners passing through the area. There are a couple spots along the path where you can see the water too. You can do a big loop, or just go out as far as you want and come back.
After walking through the reserve, take a walk along the Costanera Sur. This is the wide sidewalk that goes along the water. It is lined with food trucks serving choripan."

"With 350 hectares, this is the biggest green space in the city and its the home of more than 2000 species of flora and fauna. Near the business area of Puerto Madero and its huge buildings, this Ecological Reserve is a place of peace and calm where you can walk and enjoy the beautiful nature. "
