Access and Facilities
There are two entrances: 1. At the corner of Av. Brasil and Av. Tristan Achaval Rodriguez where you'll find a sculpture from Lola Mora called 'Las Nereidas'. 2. At the corner of Viamonte street and Av. Tristan Achaval Rodriguez. First one is the main entrance but both are excellent ways to get into the reserve.
About security I can only say that I don't know of cases of robbery and ussually my friends and I tend to walk with our equipment (binoculars and cameras) in plain view. There are police officers at both entrances and also there are park guards walking along the paths. Only advice I would give is to take out your binoculars at the reserve because there are less security outside.
