Tomás Jofré, human settlement in Argentina
Tomás Jofré is a small village in open countryside with dirt roads and old brick buildings surrounded by fields and green spaces. The village has a historic train station, a central square with small shops, and several traditional restaurants serving food made from regional ingredients.
The village was originally called Jorge Born but received the name Tomás Jofré in the early 1930s after a respected lawyer and politician. The settlement developed around a train station on the Belgrano line, which provided connections to larger towns and supported trade activity.
The village is known for its traditional cooking, and visitors experience this directly in the restaurants and local tastings. People enjoy sharing mate, the South American tea, and keep their customs alive through simple festivals and everyday rituals that shape village life.
The village is easy to reach by car and offers simple parking plus small shops for local products. The best way to enjoy it is to walk slowly, dine in the restaurants, and experience the quiet countryside.
The village is known nationwide for Salame Quintero, a meat product with a distinctive flavor from old recipes. In August, the Galleta de Campo festival takes place, where residents sell handcrafted products and the traditional bread of the same name, baked in stone ovens the old way.
