Buenos Aires Things to Do Tips by Flyinggrandma

A wonderful, tranquil Japanese garden about 15 minutes by bus from central Buenos Aires. It contains all the features of a traditional Japanese garden, including streams, waterfalls, tea house, bridges and over 600 carp in the lake. It is possible to buy fish food from the shop and the carp will come and feed from your hand. There are exhibitions and events held throughout the year and information can be found on their website below. It was a beautiful place just to sit and relax after a hectic few days in BA. Hours of opening are 10.00 am until 6.00 pm every day. A short walk away are Palermo Lake and the Rosedal gardens so combined they would make a great day out.
