Bosque Los Colomos
A large forest park in the northwest of the city, with a Japanese garden, a castle-style old water station and horse trails. It is the city's green lung on weekends.
Bosque Los Colomos covers about 90 hectares and was originally the city's water source. The park preserves El Castillo, a castle-style pumping station from the early 20th century. The most popular feature is the Japanese garden built through friendship and cooperation with Kyoto, Japan, with koi ponds, a tea house and stone lanterns (a small additional admission fee applies). There is also a cultural center, horse trails and jogging paths. Entry to the park is free, and it is very busy with families on weekends.
