Miramar: Forest, dunes and coastal experiences

Forest, dunes, cliffs and a cycling route along the coast give Miramar many different sides. Anyone planning a trip can choose their own focus, from nature and outdoor activities to public art, church history, fossils and regional products. This variety is also useful when looking for a holiday rental: first consider which experiences you want to shape your stay.

Woodland scenery and trails

The Vivero Dunícola Municipal Florentino Ameghino is a forest established in 1923 and covers 502 hectares. At the Bosque Vivero Dunícola Florentino Ameghino, forest, cliffs, dunes and sand hills come together. This means that several kinds of landscape sit side by side in Miramar, rather than a nature outing being defined by just one feature.

The Bosque Vivero Florentino Ameghino has routes and trails of varying difficulty. The Bosque Energético is also part of the Vivero Dunícola Florentino Ameghino: a planted pine forest of about three hectares.

The Gruta de Lourdes y Via Crucis del Bosque is also located in the Vivero Dunícola Florentino Ameghino. This open-air Catholic shrine is open to the public and free of charge. It offers a spiritual point of interest amid the woodland scenery. Nature trails and this religious site appeal to different interests, so there is no need to treat them as a set, combined itinerary.

Coast, cycling route and pedal boats

The Paseo Costanero Sur runs along the coast in Miramar and has a cycling route. For anyone who wants to make an active seaside experience the focus, this offers a practical way to combine cycling with coastal scenery. When looking for a holiday rental, it may be useful to keep this priority in mind when you later check the location.

The Parque de Los Patricios–Paseo del Durazno offers another leisure option. There is a lake formed by a dam, where visitors can take recreational pedal-boat rides. This is a distinct option alongside the cycling route: here, a ride on the water takes centre stage, while the Paseo Costanero Sur brings together the coast and cycling.

Art, history and natural history

At the entrance to Miramar on RP11, the Parque de la Bienal de Arte Esteban Svast features more than 90 murals and 12 sculptures. The Parque Cultural de la Bienal Internacional de Arte Esteban Svast at the entrance to Miramar on Ruta 11 was designed as a free public cultural and leisure trail. Public art thus provides another focus alongside the landscape experiences.

The Iglesia San Andrés Apóstol, on Calle 29 between Calle 22 and Calle 24, is part of the town’s history. It was completed in 1891 and is regarded as a landmark associated with Miramar’s founding. The Museo de Ciencias Naturales Punta Hermengo, by contrast, focuses on natural history: its fossil collection includes the remains of large glyptodonts, megatheriums, saber-toothed cats, whales, dolphins and local molluscs.

Regional products and choosing a focus

At the intersection of Av. 40 and 37, the Feria Verde promotes and sells natural products from family-run agroecological farming. The range includes seasonal vegetables, preserves, jams, honey, pollen, herbal infusions, whole-grain sourdough baked goods, legume burgers and biscuits. For travellers interested in regional food, this adds a culinary dimension to Miramar’s nature and culture themes.

If you especially enjoy cycling along the coast, the Paseo Costanero Sur and its cycling route can help guide your choice of location for a holiday rental in Miramar.
