Chascomús, Colonial city in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
The urban center stretches along the shores of Lake Chascomús, featuring traditional Argentine architecture and wide streets lined with mature trees.
The settlement began as Fort San Juan Bautista in 1779 under Captain Pedro Nicolás Escribano, establishing a defensive position against indigenous populations.
The Museo Pampeano preserves artifacts and documents that tell the story of early settlers, gauchos, and indigenous peoples from the Buenos Aires Province.
Located 123 kilometers south of Buenos Aires, the city connects to the capital through regular train services and National Route 2.
The November 1839 Battle of Chascomús marked a significant rebellion called Libres del Sur against Governor Juan Manuel de Rosas's regime.
