| Parque
Natural & Zona de Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur is
a 865-acre (3.50 km2) tract of low land on the Río de la Plata
riverbank located on the east side of the district of Puerto Madero in
Buenos Aires. The reserve, declared a natural park in the 1980s, was
formed by a land-fill of waste material of demolished buildings dumped
in the river off Costanera Sur Avenue to make way for highway
construction throughout Buenos Aires in the 70s. Over time, sand and
sediment began to build up and developed itself into a biodiversity
sample of the native Llanura Pampeana ecosystem, the area now boasts a
few trees, mostly willows, ceibos and acacias and is home to the city's
only wild flamingos, egrets, ducks, parrots and nutrias. ~Wikipedia |
