Laguna del Monte, Natural lagoon in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
Laguna del Monte is a natural lagoon in Buenos Aires Province, near the town of Guaminí, with shallow, calm water spread across a wide surface. It sits within a network of connected lagoons on the flat plains of the Pampas region.
The lagoon was shaped by wind erosion over thousands of years, a process that gave it its current form on the flat Pampas landscape. The town of Guaminí grew up around it in the late 19th century, making the lagoon central to the settlement from the start.
The lagoon is a popular fishing spot where locals catch silverside, carp, and catfish using traditional methods. Fishing is a common weekend activity here, and the waterfront often has a relaxed, everyday feel shared by families and regulars.
Paved and lit paths run along the shore, making it easy to walk around at any time of day. Boat, horse, and bicycle rentals are available nearby, so visitors can cover more ground without much planning.
The lagoon sits just a few blocks from the center of Guaminí, which is rare for a body of water of this size anywhere in the province. Despite being so close to town, its shores regularly attract waterbirds that are easy to spot from the paths.
