Rivadavia Park and Monument to the Liberator Simón Bolívar in Buenos Aires.

In Buenos Aires there are numerous parks in different neighborhoods of the Federal Capital, which is why a slogan has been dedicated to them: Buenos Aires Verde (Green Buenos Aires). Some are larger than others and some have certain attractions that characterize them.

I have lived here for many years and knew about Rivadavia Park but I had never had the opportunity to enter and visit its extensive area.

It's amazing that a great work has been dedicated to the liberator Simón Bolívar, this is personal because I am from Venezuela and seeing this is interesting and important for our community in Argentina.

It should be noted that Rivadavia Park was created in 1928, almost 100 years ago, and this monument was inaugurated in 1942. The Argentine José Fioravanti was responsible for this sculptural work. A work in white marble accompanied by an arch of more than 10 meters and located at the entrance to this park, which makes entering it really attractive.

I seem to remember that there is another space dedicated to our liberator but it is located in the southern province of Buenos Aires. This is the largest one I know of so far and the one I have the best access to.

I took some photos at the entrance, of the sculpture and part of the arch that I mentioned before.

While I was walking through the park I noticed that there were also several sculptures, apart from those that accompany that of Simón Bolívar, I read that some of them were donations from the Catalan community to Argentina.

I wanted to explore this park as best I could in the time I had. I walked through various parts of the place and realized that the main attraction is this tribute and the sculptures. Afterwards it is a park where people go to spend some time, many students and kids playing sports, soccer for example.

The Rivadavia park is located in the Caballito neighborhood and has an area of ​​6 hectares. There are different recreation points for the little ones, some fountains and a small artificial lake.

I think I took too many photos of the entire park, I wanted to capture as much space as possible and also capture some details that might be interesting.

In 2003, remodeling works were carried out where they added new entrances to the park, new seats, planted trees and made the space more pleasant for visitors. I wanted to take photos of some of these entrances, each one has its respective yellow sign like almost all or all the parks in the city.

Here we are in spring but it seems like summer, the humidity and high temperatures begin so it will be more common to see so many people visiting these parks.

I also thought I would include some photos of some of the flowers that adorn Rivadavia Park.

I always pass by this place but very early when I am on my way to work and it is the first time I decide to visit it. I didn't know there was an informal mini market where they sell artisanal products. I took a look around these stores and the truth is that everything looks very fresh and appetizing. There are many cheeses and cold cuts, packaged products, olives and free samples of everything they sell.

I also saw gluten-free breads which are very good and the best thing is that the prices are very affordable.

I think I will visit again with the intention of purchasing some of these products.

In the back there was also a small space dedicated to selling new and used books, but it was almost all closed.

I think it was a very interesting walk and today I share it with all of you. I hope the week has started very well for you. Greetings from Buenos Aires :)

¡Hola @dimascastillo90! Aquí @ninaeatshere, me paso para informarte que este post ha sido curado manualmente. Muchas gracias por publicar en la Comunidad de Worldmappin.

¡Bueno este parque lo tiene todo! por ahí vi un cartel de comida venezolana en el mercadillo: arepa, táquenos, cachapa…¡No se diga más! tienes que volver jaja

Seis hectáreas es bastante espacio para que esté lleno de espacios recreativos, creo que cualquier turista aventurero disfrutaría el intercambio cultural que debe haber en este lugar, se ve bastante concurrido y de lo que puedo entender, esto ha sido en un día de semana, no me imagino el finde.

Interesante saber que la comunidad catalana tiene relaciones directas con Argentina, hay muchos argentinos en Barcelona la verdad. Qué bien que haya esculturas destinadas a embellecer ese gran parque. Aunque sin duda el arco donde está la estatua de Bolivar es lo más llamativo de todo, me impresiona que la espada pareciera incluso más alta que el arco, ¿es solo la perspectiva o es así?


Para cualquier consulta, no dudes en comunicarte con el equipo a través de nuestro Discord hemos creado un canal en español para mayor comodidad.

¡Un saludo!



Hola @ninaeatshere cómo estás? 🙂

Soy tan poco detallista que no me dí cuenta que había un cartel en uno de los puestos con comida venezolana 😅 en cuanto leí tu comentario lo busqué en las fotos para verificar.

El parque es bastante extenso y tiene muchas áreas interesantes para pasar el rato y compartir con amigos o familia. Muchos árboles y se siente una buena energía también.

Lo que más me llamó la atención realmente fue el monumento a Simón Bolívar y fué la razón principal para visitarlo, la pasé muy bien recorriendo el lugar tanto que volvería y esta vez otro motivo adicional es visitar esa tienda de comida venezolana 😄

Ahora que lo comentas... Sí, pareciera que la espada fuese más alta que el arco pero estoy seguro de que eso solo perspectiva. Que buena observación tienes. Me encanta tu comentario y todo lo que has descrito en él.

Muchas gracias por tan linda apreciación ❤️

¡Hola! Pues yo muy bien, contenta de ver fotografías tuyas por aquí 🥰🇦🇷
De verdad no puedo creerte lo del puesto de comida venezolana jajaja deox quejesto 🇻🇪😭 jajaja
Sí, es que cuando hay fotos buenas por ahí, realmente disfruto observando los detalles,. Cuando alguien se dedica a hacerlas bien, como tú, uno puede sentir fácilmente que está en ese mismo lugar. Gracias por dejarnos este bonito recorrido aquí, espero seguir encontrándome con muchos más jeje.
¡Muchas de nadas y un abrazo! 🥰🗺️🥰

Even on that side is Simon Bolivar, a very attractive park, perfect for people's recreation.

People here know Simón Bolívar very well, I suppose it is because he is also part of the history of Argentina. At that time San Martín and Bolivar met and I think it was an important event for the citizens here.

It is a very attractive park to visit :)

Mano que fotos tan pro, saludos 🇻🇪

Gracias hermanoo, saludos 🤘🏻📸

Ohh my friend you have done excellent in the post, my congratulations. I have so many memories in that park for a long time I went to play pokemon Go, I have walked miles and miles in that park, despite being so small it has a lot of vegetation and personality.
