What to do and see in Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District: The Best Gardens
The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

We walked through this park en route to the Bosque (middle of the park) but never made it there. Once we saw the Lago (lake) with the boat rentals we simply had to stay and do some paddle boating. Up to that point, we saw walkers, joggers, and people sitting on the lawn. That alone makes this a great spot in central Buenos Aires. We rented a paddle boat suitable for 4 people, with a small roof. Cost was about 800AP ($12USD) for 30 minutes. Started out fun and fine, then the skies opened up with rain, and we simply got drenched! We finally paddled back and got out, with dozens of people taking shelter from the weather. I asked at the ticket booth if we can extend for another couple hours (as a joke) and we were told "they were closed" - at which time I presented out coupon receipt and with no further words she refunded me the entire 800. Very nice of them to do that! We would definitely come back if we find the time. Do try the boats on Lago Palermo there!

You can not stop visiting this beautiful park, it is very well kept, and it is very beautiful. They compare it to Central Park in NY. What they have in common is that they are the green lung of the city.

Nice to go on a spring day and enjoy the start of the flowers along with all the huge trees. Try to time your visit to get into the greenhouse if you can. Otherwise just enjoy strolling and being awestruck by the enormous trees. There is no fee for this lovely place.

Lezama Park is a beautiful public park in the San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, surrounded by old residential area of middle class people. It is one of the most important historical parks close to the central city. The land on which Park is situated belonged to Jose Gregorio Lezama, after passing through many colonial and local hands. Lezama developed the land into a beautiful green space adjoining to his residential palace. He died in 1894. His widow sold 20 acre land from her estate to the City Council for a nominal price on the condition that the land would be developed into a Park bearing her husband’s name. Their residence was converted into National Historical Museum in 1897. Subsequently Municipal Parks Director, Carlos Thays remodeled the garden into a beautiful Park with facilities for children and local community such as Sunday Enjoyment Corner, Recreation and Amusement Stadium, Fun Fair Market, etc. It is a peaceful place for enjoying natural atmosphere.
