Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve
- Duration: ½ day to 1 day
- Season: All year-round
Just a ten-minute drive from Buenos Aires downtown there is a splendid urban protected area, the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, with 350 hectares covered of marshes, grasslands, bushes and woods, and housing a surprising diversity of wildlife.
Over 220 species of birds have been recorded, among which we can mention Black-necked swans, Silver teals, Cocoi herons, Rufescent tiger-herons, Nanday parakeets, Red-crested and Yellow-billed cardinals, Masked gnatcatchers, Golden-breasted woodpeckers, and Black-and- rufous warbling-finche, just to mention a few of them.
Mammals such as Coipus, and reptiles such as Tegu lizards and Painted turtles complete the list of vertebrates and make the Costanera Sur Reserve a fascinating destination for a photo safari just a few minutes away from your hotel.
