Buenos Aires Botanical Garden
Recently, Dave had a work trip to Buenos Aires, and I was able to come along. Of course, the Buenos Aires Botanical Garden was quickly put on our itinerary. The garden’s full name in Spanish is Jardín Botánico Carlos Thays de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires.
Founded in 1898, it covers 21 acres (7 hectares) in the bustling city’s Palermo neighborhood. There are sections in Roman and French styles, and areas for plants indigenous to Argentina, and each of the continents. Five greenhouses and lots of statues, sculptures, streams, and waterfalls mean there’s plenty to find around every pathway.
Unfortunately, the glasshouses were closed on the day we visited. We didn’t see orchids inside the tropical plant house, but there were many other tropical wonders (photo tip: you can often take nice pictures of plants inside by putting your camera up to the glass.) If you’re lucky enough to be in beautiful Buenos Aires, don’t miss Buenos Aires Botanical Garden. Check back soon for more photos from Argentina, including a wonderful Japanese garden.
