I found the building rather unimpressive for such an important building. It can be compared to the White House of Argentina, but it is much smaller and looks worn down. There is a fence around it, so you cannot get inside without a tour. I tried to book a tour for this, but they only do tours on weekends and they fill up fast. Maybe if you are a history buff and want to look at some offices, you should try to book in advance. But based on all the reviews online, I did not feel like I was missing much.

I'm pleased to see such a large preserve in the middle of such a large city. It is a beautiful, peaceful and calming place to be. The lush comfort of the trees and the shrill of the local birds gave the feeling of being comfortably lost in nature. In the direction that we took, we also came across running water.

I love the fact that the floor is just dirt after the entrance and not tarred or covered with bricks. You can hear the birds everywhere and it's quite calming. The loop is quite wide so you need to be intentional about how much you want to walk if you're doing the full loop, crossing in the middle or doing a u-turn somewhere. I think it's worth visiting for a mild hike while in BA.
