Reserva Ecológica Review

The 865-acre Ecological Reserve was built over a landfill, and is home to more than 500 species of birds and a variety of flora and fauna. On weekends thousands of porteños vie for a spot on the grass, so come midweek if you want to bird-watch and sunbathe in peace or use the jogging and cycling tracks. A monthly guided "Walking under the Full Moon" tour in Spanish begins at 7:30 pm April through October and at 8:30 pm November through March. Even if you don't speak Spanish it's still a great way to get back to nature at night; otherwise avoid the area after sunset. It's just a short walk from the south end of Puerto Madero.

    I realize there are a few threads touching upon this question, but haven't seen any recent posts so wasn't sure if things have changed.

    I land at EZE at 9:15am on a Sunday and plan to fly to USH that afternoon. Read more
