In 1979, the renowned English labyrinth designer Randoll Coate designed, at the request of the writer Susana Bombal, one of Borges' great friends, a symbolic labyrinth in homage to this great Argentine writer. Twenty-five years later, Camilo Aldao (h), a great-nephew of Bombal, started a plan together with María Kodama and the landscaper Carlos Thays, to build it.
