Traveler reviews
Hendrik Van De Slijke
★★★★★4 months agoThe Cecilio Rodriguez Garden is one of the gems within the beautiful Retiro Park, brimming with pergolas, water features and dozens of peacocks. These birds are clearly used to people, so you can get very close to take a photo. Definitely worth a visit!
Angela M
★★★★★10 months agoLovely spot to visit. The peacocks are very used to people and get quite close. The park itself was beautifully maintained. Worth a quick visit.
