Paseo del Bosque, Urban park in La Plata, Argentina

Paseo del Bosque is an expansive urban park with walking paths throughout its grounds, a man-made lake, and groves of poplars, oaks, willows, and eucalyptus trees. The space also contains a Natural Science Museum, an Astronomical Observatory, and a Zoo with multiple sections for visitors to explore.

The park grew out of the Iraola estate, expropriated when La Plata was founded as the new provincial capital. The layout approved on 5 June 1882 already included the old Iraola park, though the forest as a public park was founded later. On 29 August 2018, municipal ordinance 11698 renamed it "René G. Favaloro".

The Martín Fierro amphitheater presents theater, dance, and music performances in the open air, making the park a gathering place for the city's cultural events. Locals and visitors use this outdoor venue as a natural extension of the city's artistic life.

The park features several museums and an observatory where visitors can take guided tours and view interactive exhibits. Plan to spend time exploring the different areas, and wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are extensive and walking is necessary to see everything.

The Grotto, almost hidden under the park's vegetation, is a labyrinth of white cement walls pierced by caves of various sizes; the walls were once grey and are marked by time and humidity. It was devised, like the lake, by engineer Nazario Robert, director of Walks and Gardens.
