Sierra de los Padres
A low-hill resort about 20 kilometers west of the city, with hiking trails, horseback riding and tearooms.
The Sierra de los Padres is the eastern end of the Tandilia range, about 20 kilometers west of Mar del Plata. Forested villa areas and low stone hills make it a weekend getaway. You can hike trails up the hills for views over the Pampas and the city beyond, go horseback riding or cycling, or enjoy afternoon tea and homemade desserts at tearooms such as Los Paraísos. Weekends in summer are crowded. Drive there or take bus No. 717, and it is suitable for a half-day trip.
