There, in San Rafael, South of Mendoza, in the same place where Borges used to spend some summers in the 1930s. The labyrinth imagined by Coate occupies an area of almost one hectare, and consists of over 9000 buxus shrubs. Within this are many borgesian symbols : a mirror, an hourglass, a tiger's face, a blind cane and even Moebius Ribbon. In it you can also read the writer's first and last name, the widow's initials, and at the same time it has the form of a book opened to the universe .
