Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve

[2] In the early 1970s, a new project was created in addition to those that had been developed in the northern city areas which consisted of reclaiming land from the river in front of the old “Costanera Sur” Riverside Resort.

From the beginning, the newly formed ponds and grasslands attracted the attention of nature lovers and bird watchers who thus started to visit them regularly.

This place became a meeting point for joggers, cyclists, students, naturalists and even foreign bird watchers passing through Buenos Aires.

[2] The official recognition occurred on June 5, 1986, when the Buenos Aires City Council voted unanimously the Ordinance 41,247 granting protection to the area, thus echoing the claims of the Non-Governmental Organizations.

A number of trails leading to the river are perfect for birdwatching, strolling, cycling and nature lovers, with many people holding picnics in the areas close to the water.
