Parque Avellaneda is a
neighborhood located southwest of Buenos Aires City. The name comes from the
park located in Lacarra Ave and Directorio Ave, where an old farm house
belonging to the Olivera family is still preserved. The place is ideal for this
time of the year: lots of green spaces, lots of trees, entertainment and picnic
spots. Hostel Colonial tells you all you need to know if visiting this
