Thomas Jofre
A little over 100 km from the City of Buenos Aires (about 105 km) is Tomas Jofre, a town of just 200 inhabitants that is actually officially called Jorge Born, but is known as Tomas Jofre because it is the name of the railway station, which does not work at present.
It is one of the gastronomic poles that has grown the most in recent years, so the number of restaurants and options has increased.
Jofre is located about 12 km from Mercedes, so one option is to spend the night in Mercedes, which has more accommodation options, and go to Tomás Jofre to spend the day.
The first thing is to choose one of the restaurants while enjoying the natural environment. Then, take a walk through the main square, where there is a fair of handicrafts and locally made products, such as sweets and sausages. There, there is space to sit down and enjoy some mates.
For those who like photography, they can go to the old train station. There are also pony rides and horseback riding.
It is best to arrive by car, through the Oeste-Luján access. Otherwise, you must get to Mercedes by bus and, from Mercedes, take a local bus.
Navarrese
The town of Navarro is located about 130 km from the City of Buenos Aires and has the particularity of being a place with nature and tradition.
If you are interested in history, you can visit the Alfredo Sabaté Historical Museum, the replica of the San Lorenzo fort, the railway museum in the old Trocha station and Dorrego Park, where the governor of Buenos Aires, Manuel Dorrego, was shot. In addition, they can learn part of the history of the famous gaucho, Juan Moreira, and the town’s grocery store.
If you prefer sports or nature, there is the Aeroclub for baptism flights, the lagoon with its campsite for water sports and a good picnic. There are also motocross and ATV tracks. Around the lagoon there are paths for walking and biking, which can be a good idea for sunset.
San Antonio de Areco
One of the most famous rural tourism destinations close to the City of Buenos Aires is San Antonio de Areco. There, the Festival of Tradition is celebrated and it is possible to experience a weekend “in the countryside”. For this reason, it is one of the towns in the province of Buenos Aires that is ideal for a weekend getaway, especially if you really want to go to the countryside.
Although it is not a “town” per se, the feeling is of being in one. In addition to touring the historic center, you can visit the Ricardo Güiraldes Gauchesco Museum, the Las Lilas Museum and the Mariano Draghi Silver and Goldsmith Workshop.
