We discovered the Jardin Botánico Carlos Thays quite by accident. It's a lovely park with winding pathways through a dense canopy of indigenous flora. They are all over the place. The garden gets it's name from the French born-Argentinean landscape architect who designed it back in the 1890's. Thays and his family lived in a mansion inside the complex while he was director of parks for the city. You'll especially lik the gardens if you're a cat lover. A large number of cats have made there home here and have resisted attempts at removal. While attempts are made to keep new cats out, the current population is allowed to roam free in the park, and even receive veterinary care thanks to a group of volunteers that has adopted them.
