What You Will Visit:
The Botanical Garden
Founded in 1898 by French landscape architect Charles Thays, the Botanical Garden is a serene haven in the heart of the city, ideal for a leisurely stroll among thousands of plant and tree species from Argentina and beyond. Spanning 16 acres, it showcases more than 6,000 varieties of native and international flora arranged in beautifully designed Roman, French, and Oriental-style gardens. Elegant greenhouses, including an Art Nouveau masterpiece honored at the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition, add a touch of history and charm. Scattered sculptures and an English-style residence-now home to rotating art exhibitions and creative workshops-complete this enchanting blend of nature, art, and culture.
Palermo Woods & Rose Garden
Palermo Woods, the city's largest park, enchants visitors with its lush groves, reflective lakes, and sweeping open spaces. At its heart lies the celebrated Rose Garden, a century-old treasure boasting more than 18,000 roses across 93 species. Surrounded by tranquil water features, a graceful Greek-style bridge, and a poets' garden adorned with busts of renowned writers, it offers a feast for the senses in every season.
The Japanese Garden
Recognized as a site of historical interest, the Japanese Garden captures the spirit of harmony and balance central to Japanese landscape design. Created in 1967 to honor the visit of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, it was a gift from Argentina's Japanese community. The garden's natural composition-featuring meandering streams, koi-filled ponds, vermilion bridges, bonsai trees, and a tranquil tea house-invites calm reflection and a deep appreciation of cultural beauty.
