The province of Buenos Aires has towns near CABA that offer tranquility, good landscapes and ideal spaces to relax.
The intensity of the City of Buenos Aires and the heat, especially in summer, can be overwhelming. Therefore, the possibility of escaping to nearby places that offer more tranquility and green spaces can be one of the best options for limited periods of time. In addition to the best-known destinations, there are hidden towns that deserve to be visited.
Between these two mentioned below, both have an ideal river to spend a picnic on the shore and enjoy the landscape. In both places there are various fun and quiet proposals to enjoy with family or friends and have a mini vacation without going far or spending a lot. The closest to the City of Buenos Aires is Zárate, although not much further away, but in another direction is the town of Chivilcoy.
Chivilcoy
Zárate: where it is, what to do and how to get there
It is located 90 kilometers from the City and has one of the most important ports in the Province. The most attractive place is Plaza Miter, which stands out for its tree-lined landscape and fresh air, a perfect place to share a snack. For a cultural outing there is the Quinta Jovita Municipal Historical Museum, where you can hear the history of the city and its relationship with the neighboring province. There is also the Provincial Museum of Natural Sciences.
As for outdoor options, the entire city is really worth walking, and among the most relaxing destinations to spend the day is the Costanera, recently remodeled, to enjoy and admire the river. On the other hand, the market is the favorite place for visitors, a small gastronomic hub characterized by the presence of old tenements.
To get to Zárate by car, the recommended route is National Route Number 9, which is the fastest and most direct. It reaches Campana and there you must take National Route Number 6 that goes directly to Zárate.
Chivilcoy: where is what to do and how to get there
It is a city located in the fourth section of the province of Buenos Aires, 167 kilometers from CABA. Its strong point is the gastronomic proposals. As for sausages and cheeses, few places beat it in quality. It offers a good variety of bars, restaurants and cafes close to the centre. One of the main plans is the “El Recreo” Warehouse Museum, where you can learn about its history. You can also visit the Spanish Theater, built in 1887 and, currently, the favorite cinema of the city’s inhabitants.
The fastest route to get to Chivilcoy from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires is through the Buenos Aires – Luján Highway. When you reach that city you must connect with National Route Number 5, which arrives very close to the town. At the intersection with Provincial Route 30, you must turn right and in a few kilometers you will reach the access to Chivilcoy.
