    I happen to love birding. This reserve is a very short walk from town and definitely worth the couple of hours it takes to walk along the well marked gravel or planked pathways. It is picturesque...

    An amazing quite natural place. 1000 pesos for a foreigner, 500 for a resident. Great for a free day to just walk around.
  • By Marcelo F
    A nice place to have a walk and make some bird watching. Is the day is windy I would not recommend it. On the other hand, it has a direct access to lake Argentino.
