San Antonio de Areco, Colonial settlement in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
The town extends along the banks of the Areco River, featuring traditional colonial buildings, artisan workshops, and local museums displaying regional heritage.
The settlement, established in 1730 under the protection of a chapel by José Ruiz de Arellano, marks the beginning of organized colonial presence in this region.
The Museo Gauchesco Ricardo Güiraldes preserves artifacts, documents, and exhibits that demonstrate the evolution of gaucho traditions in the Pampas region.
Located 113 kilometers from Buenos Aires, the town offers daily bus services, accommodations in traditional estancias, and guided tours of historical districts.
Each November, the town transforms into an open-air celebration during the Día de la Tradición, featuring horse parades, traditional craft demonstrations, and regional music.
