In addition, the preservation of the typical clusters of palms and the indigenous mounts in the shores of the “Laguna Negra” (Black lagoon), together with his flora and fauna, has to be done .a space for exotic species was also considered.The project’s point was a romantic stile garden; admitting English writers and painter’s influence of the XVIII century, who praised the return to the nature.
