"Carlos Thays Botanical Garden The red-gravel paths that wind among 6,000 plant species, past a babbling stream, and into deeply shaded areas may make you forget you’re in the center of a loud, bustling city. That said, many visitors don’t know that the Botanical Garden includes a small butterfly garden. It’s closed during the week, but you can still peek over a low wall to watch some 50 butterfly species flit about their business. And for one glorious hour, from noon to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, the gate is thrown open and the public is free to walk sunny paths among shoulder-high flowering hedges as colorful, flirtatious butterflies alight on amused visitors’ heads, shoulders, and arms.

A guitarist playing harmoniously under the trees. A quiet fountain that held my son’s full attention. That’s the kind of beauty we found at the Jardín Botánico Carlos Thays. We arrived late morning, just as the city started to slow down. It was easy to get there by bus, and once inside, it felt like the pace of the day shifted. No crowds, no noise. The gardens aren’t overly sculpted or dramatic. They’re subtle, almost restrained. We learned a bit about native Argentine plants like Yerba Mate. It’s a short walk from there to the Japanese Gardens, which made for a lovely, quiet rhythm to the afternoon. This isn’t a destination built to impress in loud ways. But it left a memorable impression.

Incredibly beautiful park. Free. Stunning birds. It is next to (part of?) a zoo however, so once I accidentally lapsed into the side of the gardens, it completely took away from the experience and felt pretty bleak. 4 stars with the hope the two are owned somewhat separately

When it's time for some quiet calm in the middle of the city, head to the Botanical Gardens. Very well maintained and full of a diverse selection of trees and plants from around the world laid out geographically. Plenty of shaded benches for relaxing contemplation.

Free entry and you can do picnic in the park. The explanation inside the main building are very interesting for kids and for adults !

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.
