The Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve is an urban oasis that showcases the native flora and fauna of Argentina. Spanning over 350 hectares, it serves as a vital green space in Buenos Aires, providing a sanctuary for numerous bird species and other wildlife. The reserve is particularly well-known for its picturesque trails that wind through wetlands and grasslands, making it a popular destination for jogging, cycling, and leisurely walks. Visitors can easily lose track of time as they explore the winding paths, which also offer stunning views of the nearby Río de la Plata and the city's skyline. In addition to its natural beauty, the reserve is a hub for environmental education. Informational signs throughout the park provide insights into the local ecosystem and highlight the importance of conservation. The proximity to the bustling district of Puerto Madero makes it easily accessible, allowing tourists to enjoy a refreshing break from the city's fast pace. Whether you're interested in birdwatching, taking photographs, or simply enjoying a peaceful picnic, Costanera Sur is an ideal spot to connect with nature without leaving the city. The reserve is open daily, and with flexible hours from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM, it accommodates both early risers and afternoon strollers alike.
