LA CALANDRIA

Sierra de los Padres is a string of rocky hills and ridges about 14 miles west of Mar del Plata. They are part of Tandilia's mountain range, actually a series of low rock-strewn elevations of precambrian origin extended from central Buenos Aires Province to Cabo Corrientes, a cape on the shores of Mar del Plata. These peaks are barely 270 mt high, surrounded by farms in the lower lands and by an exclusive neighborhood built on their slopes. Most local landscapes have panoramic views of the surrounding hills. Recreational activities include trekking, PPC, bouldering and a large Golf link. There is an annual trekking and climbing event organized by the "Club Andino Mar del Plata", with more than 300 climbers attending each October.

As WE explore Sierra de los Padres, YOU will be struck by the lush greenery and rolling hills that surround you. The area is known for its pristine forests, crystal-clear streams, and abundant wildlife. Hiking and mountain biking are popular activities here, with trails that wind through the forests and offer breathtaking views of the landscape. For a more relaxing experience, take a stroll through the town's lovely gardens or enjoy a picnic in the shade of the trees.

One of the highlights of Sierra de los Padres is its scenic lake, Laguna de los Padres. This tranquil body of water is a popular spot for fishing and boating, and its shores are home to a variety of bird species. You can also visit the nearby Paseo de los Pioneros, a museum that showcases the region's history and culture.
