The Barrancas de Belgrano is a sloping park in Belgrano whose name means «the Belgrano bluffs», as it is the edge of an old river terrace that until the early nineteenth century bounded the Río de la Plata's floodplain. Belgrano's residents bought it in 1871 as a public park, and the French landscape architect Charles Thays laid it out in 1892. Winding paths run among old trees, period lamps and stairs, with a bandstand at the top, and its edge looks down towards the old station street. Locals come to walk and sit. The park is free and open, close to the Larreta and Sarmiento museums and to Belgrano's Chinatown, a good stop on a walk around the neighbourhood.
