Greetings, nature lovers. I'm choosing your community to share these photos from my recent visit to the Costanera Sur ecological reserve in Buenos Aires after reading the post by my friend , whom I always admire for his constant connection to nature and agriculture.
We will undoubtedly return to stroll and learn more about this incredible 350-hectare natural refuge next to the skyscrapers of Buenos Aires and the Río de la Plata, where we took a short walk yesterday that was enough to relax the mind and nourish the spirit with renewed strength.
A warehouse that at first glance evokes the image of an ogre's dungeon or a comic book superhero's hideout, but it invited me to sit in the shade and enjoy the breeze that made all the difference, even feeling a little cold after feeling how the sun stung on the Puerto Madero pier.
Paths where granite cobblestones alternate with bricks so as not to tire the feet or make cyclists give up also distracted our feet.
The wooden walkways that allow us to get closer to see the details were under maintenance, undoubtedly for safety reasons, so we didn't go along them, but we will certainly return, since, while we live in this beautiful capital, only the squares and parks that make it so pleasant put us in contact with the nature and vegetation that we used to enjoy in our backyard.
Just a brief introduction to what could be a full day's outing, but it was time to head back, as we had previously crossed the docks of Puerto Madero, which I will show you another day.
Here on the La Mujer bridge with , my life partner and adventure companion, who loves plants and, if she could, would fill the balcony with pots of trees if that were possible, but she is content with flowers and succulents, which are her weakness.
One last stop before heading home to appreciate the repairs they've made to the stainless steel flower in the park next to the Law School of the University of Buenos Aires, an iconic place in the city where, a year and a half ago, I met my friend from
for the first time in person during a demonstration in defense of freedom and democracy in Venezuela.
I hope you enjoy this first encounter, and I'll be back every time I have a chance to connect with nature and share photos.
Thank you for joining us.
I took the photos myself, except for the one I appear in. The text is written in my native language, Spanish, and translated using Google Translate.
