Hello to all friends! I want to share with you a place that I visited yesterday for the first time in the neighborhood of Recoleta. It is the Carlos Thays cultural park, located a few meters from one of the best known subway stations in the city but nevertheless I did not know of its existence. That's Buenos Aires, places is great proportion to know and visit that are somehow "hidden".
As is the case of this park that despite being in front of an avenue, hides the cultural monuments because they are well within the same place. This city is known for its large number of parks with cultural and educational themes and for this case it could not be different, for sample is the main picture that is a sculptural monument of a naked male torso.
Work of the Colombian artist Fernando Botero and its meaning or why the figure is this way is only known by the artist, it is only known that it draws a lot of attention at a glance by the exaggerated muscles and marked in the details, this monument was placed in this park in the late 1990s.
Hola a todos amigos! Quiero compartir con ustedes un lugar que visite el día de ayer por primera vez dentro del barrio de recoleta. Se trata del parque cultural Carlos Thays, ubicado a pocos metros de una de las estaciones de subterráneo más conocidas de la ciudad pero sin embargo no sabía de su existencia. Así es Buenos Aires, lugares es gran proporción para conocer y visitar que están de alguna forma "escondidos".
Como es el caso de este parque que a pesar de estar frente a una avenida, oculta los monumentos culturales porque están muy dentro del mismo lugar. Ésta ciudad es conocida por su gran número de parques con temas culturales y educativos y para este caso no podía ser diferente, para muestra está la fotografía principal que se trata de un monumento escultorico de un torso masculino desnudo.
Obra del artista colombiano Fernando Botero y su significado o el por qué la figura es de esta forma solo la conoce el artista, solo se conoce que llama muchísimo la atención a simple vista por lo exagerado de sus músculos y lo marcado en los detalles, este monumento fue colocado en este parque a finales de los años 1990.
In this park there are other monuments as is customary in places of this type that house the works of artists from different places. The aesthetics of the place is quite attractive because of the vegetation and the green of the grass, so on the one hand it is taken care of, but on the other hand not so much with respect to the same structures that have been there for more than 20 years.
Here I show you some of the pictures I took while walking around the place and at the same time I knew and admired every part of it and the sculptures.
En este parque se encuentran otros monumentos como es de costumbre en sitios de este tipo que albergan los trabajos de artistas de distintos lugares. La estética del lugar es bastante atractiva por la vegetación y lo verde del césped así que por un lado está cuidado ese tema pero por otro no tanto respecto a las mismas estructuras que llevan más de 20 años allí.
Acá les muestro algunas de las fotos que tomé muestras recorría el lugar y al mismo tiempo lo conocía y admiraba cada parte de él y de las esculturas.
The name of the park was established as a tribute to the landscape architect Carlos Thays, who in fact I previously published a post during my tour of a botanical garden that also bears his name. A very quiet place to spend time with the family, have a picnic, sit and read a book, study, play an instrument, among many other activities as long as you respect the order.
It is located in the vicinity of the great law school, in front of the liberator avenue and it is a very suitable place to take pictures especially at sunset because from that part of the city the tones and colors that it offers at that time are very good. This is how I was able to get to know a new place within the same city that is also very attractive.
If you liked some of the photos or you found interesting these monuments, structures and landscapes, it would be very nice to know in the comments. I send greetings to all of you and I hope you liked the post.
El nombre del parque fue establecido haciendo homenaje al paisajista Carlos Thays que de hecho anteriormente publique un post durante mi recorrido por un jardín botánico que también lleva su nombre. Un lugar muy tranquilo para pasar en familia, hacer picnic, sentarse a leer un libro, estudiar, tocar algún instrumento, entre muchas otras actividades siempre y cuando se respete el orden.
Está ubicado en las cercanías de la gran facultad de derecho, frente a la avenida del libertador y es un espacio bastante adecuado para tomar fotos sobretodo en el atardecer ya que desde esa parte de la ciudad los tonos y colores que brinda a esa hora son muy buenos. Así es como de esta forma pude conocer un nuevo lugar dentro de la misma ciudad que además es muy atractivo.
Si te gustaron algunas de las fotos o te pareció interesante estos monumentos, estructuras y paisajes, sería muy agradable saberlo en los comentarios. Les mando un saludo a todos y espero que el post les haya gustado.

Excellent photos my friend @dimascastillo90, all of them are very good, I was impressed by the eighth and the last one. This park is luxurious, for the art mixed between the natural spaces. About the Colombian artist Fernando Botero, his works are like that, in that style with a lot of volume, highlighting the shape of the human body. Greetings and blessings.
Hello friend, how are you? Yes, in fact I was looking for other works of his because I was struck by his style of work and I found many similar and without great. Thanks for commenting my friend, it's nice to read you
Puede ser que Thays se recorrió todo el país con su paisajismo y obras? jajaja. En Mendoza había un lugar re igual al rosedal. Y también vi una estatua como esa "cortada en fetas" en Pinamar, pero eso no sé si tendrá algo que ver.
Buenas fotos, gracias por mostrar lo lindo que es Buenos Aires 😘.
Me parece que si jajaja hay un montón de lugares en homenaje a el incluyendo los dos que menciono en el texto. No conocía sobre los lugares que mencionas y la relación con el. Cada día se aprende algo nuevo, ves? ☺️ Gracias a ti por comentar el post, te mando un abrazo
