Discover Los Pinos

Los Pinos brings together a history that began with the railway and the development of the quarry, as well as named cultural sites and landscape features. Highlights include Cerro San Agustín. Visitors who choose the town for a stay can explore nature, local history, and religious heritage as distinct areas of interest.

Local History and Neocolonial Architecture

The Delegación Municipal Los Pinos is designed in the neocolonial style and designated as a national historic and artistic cultural asset. It gives visitors a tangible connection to the town’s architectural history. Along with the founding of Los Pinos at the beginning of the 20th century, it tells of two different aspects of the town’s history: its development with the arrival of the railway and the quarry, on the one hand, and a designated cultural asset, on the other.

This combination also makes Los Pinos interesting to travelers who enjoy including local history and architecture in their explorations alongside landscape experiences. Cerro San Agustín is also one of the features that highlight the town’s landscape. The townscape thus puts the spotlight both on a named landscape feature and on a building recognized for its historic and artistic value.

The Paseo de la Cantera

The Paseo de la Cantera offers a 3.5-kilometer route that takes about 50 minutes. You can travel it by vehicle, bicycle, or on foot. Its length and approximate duration give you a concrete reference point for planning your day, while you can choose how to get around to suit your travel plans. The Paseo is also part of the Balcarce Nature Circuit.

The Paseo de la Cantera was inaugurated in September of the previous year with a bicycle tour starting from the Fundación Fangio. This event is part of the route’s history, while its length and the stated ways of traveling it provide practical guidance for a visit. If you would like to focus on nature and activity during your trip, you can make the Paseo a priority and consider the other cultural sites a separate interest during your stay in Los Pinos.

Ermita and Capilla

An Ermita dedicated to the Virgen de San Nicolás is located in Los Pinos along the Paseo de la Cantera. The Ermita is part of Los Pinos’ cultural and natural heritage. This means that the Paseo, which is part of the Balcarce Nature Circuit, also passes a religious site. For travelers interested in religious traditions or a town’s cultural heritage, the Virgen de San Nicolás is another named point of interest in Los Pinos.

The Capilla Exaltación de la Cruz is a separate site. Its summer and winter schedules both include Sunday Mass at 10 a.m. If you want to include religious services in your travel plans, this provides a specific time to work with. The Mass is therefore a different aspect of a visit from the architecture of the Delegación or the route along the Paseo de la Cantera.
