Yerba Buena relocation guide
Weekends and outings in Yerba Buena
Start with an outing that fits the group and the day. Keep the city's parks, mural stops and Horco Molle garden as distinct plans.
On this page
The short answer
An easy free day in Yerba Buena can stay close to the city's green spaces and mural stops. Plaza Nougués and Percy Hill provide different starting points, while the university's Horco Molle botanical garden offers a larger foothill visit. Choose the actual place before arranging transport. Confirm present access and leave a simple return, especially with children or a shorter afternoon.
- Plaza Nougués and Percy Hill are distinct city stops.
- The UNT botanical garden is in Horco Molle.
- Its standing hours are daily, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- The botanical garden and experimental reserve are different places.
Our take
Begin with a city stop
| Place | What the source describes | Before setting out |
|---|---|---|
| Plaza Luis Nougués | Historic-center meeting place, with play and green areas in municipal tourism copy. | Check the current facilities and the route that suits the group. |
| Parque Percy Hill | A small botanical green space, described as about two hectares. | Confirm present entry and hours; choose the visit around the group's access needs. |
| Mural circuit | Named works include Pringles 1254, Plaza Perito Moreno, Percy Hill and Madre Selva. | Choose the actual stops and walking sections, rather than assuming one continuous accessible route. |
Visit the university botanical garden
Jardín Botánico Horco Molle belongs to the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Instituto Miguel Lillo at the National University of Tucumán. Its own page describes 89 hectares in the Yungas and standing daily hours of 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. It allows self-guided visits and guide arrangements made in advance. Confirm current entry and any booking before traveling.2
The published approach follows Presidente Perón toward the final foothill roundabout, then turns right onto an approximately 700-meter paved approach. The page gives 381 4250936, WhatsApp 381 5298633 and botanicohorcomolle@csnat.unt.edu.ar. Ask about the exact entrance, current conditions and the route suitable for your group.2
The botanical garden and Reserva Experimental de Horco Molle are separate places. Municipal and provincial tourism describe both. Name the intended destination when asking about entry, guides, transport and facilities; do not carry one site's hours into the other.1,
Read projects and calendars as dated information
The green circuit also describes Eco Parque La Hoya as a project that will include paths, children's games and other facilities. That wording does not establish a completed, open park. Ask the municipality about present access before planning a visit around it.1
For an organized activity, confirm the date, meeting place, price, booking and weather policy directly. A municipal calendar entry or older event article does not confirm a recurring departure for the day you intend to go.6,
Keep the outing easy to finish
Name the actual place
Distinguish the city park, botanical garden, experimental reserve and wider hill outing.
Confirm entry
Ask about current access, hours, booking and any charge.
Prepare the group
Bring the clothing, water and other supplies the route and forecast require.
Settle the journey
Confirm both directions and the walking section from the stop or parking.
Leave an alternative
Choose a shorter city stop when the weather or group changes the plan.
