NATURE |
Woods and lakes. Squares. An ecologic reservoir. Two coastal areas or Costaneras (North and South). Willow and alder woods. Streets and avenues flanked by jacarandas, ash trees, poplars, paraísos and tipas. Buenos Aires, unlike other big cities, has a lot of green spaces. You can see this just by walking around the city. |
