Lagoon And Mountains Of The Padres

We will set off at the appointed time from our conveniently situated hotels in Mar del Plata, embarking on our adventure along Provincial Route 226, renowned for its stunning rural scenery. This path will guide us to the Laguna de los Padres Integral Nature Reserve, situated just 14 kilometers from Mar del Plata's city center.

Sierra de Los Padres is a site steeped in history and boasts the most significant biological diversity in the area. The Puelches, an indigenous group from Spain, once inhabited this region, rendering the Laguna de Los Padres Reserve a place of historical significance with its distinct flora and fauna.

Our tour will also include a visit to the Nuestra Señora del Pilar Jesuit Reduction. As we continue, we will head to the Gruta de los Pañuelos, a vast cavity nestled among the rocks that forms a grotto, featuring a modest altar adorned with the Virgin of Luján at its pinnacle. Nowadays, it serves as a sacred site where numerous visitors come to pray and present their petitions.
