About Las Cañitas
What are the main landmarks in Las Cañitas?
The polo defines the northern edge. The Campo Argentino de Polo stages the Argentine Open across the avenue, and the grandstands of the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo racecourse rise a few blocks on, giving Las Cañitas a sporting frame that the dinner tables of Calle Báez do not. Green space runs alongside.
The parks of Palermo spread out towards Avenida del Libertador.
What is the history of Las Cañitas?
Reeds gave the quarter its name. Las Cañitas grew from a marshy fringe of Palermo, where thickets of cane once stood, into a residential pocket that later turned its low blocks over to restaurants and bars along Calle Báez. The polo came to define its northern flank.
The Campo Argentino de Polo drew crowds that reshaped how Buenos Aires read the neighbourhood.
Where is Las Cañitas?
Las Cañitas occupies a small wedge of Palermo in northern Buenos Aires, bounded by Avenida del Libertador and the open ground of the Campo Argentino de Polo, its flat riverside blocks lying under a humid subtropical sky. The riverside blocks lie almost level. Streets run tight and green.
