San Antonio de Areco is a small city that lies 113km north of the City of Buenos Aires located beside the Areco river.
It has been declared a city of historic interest by the Argentine government and is recognised for being the homeland of "Don Segundo Sombra" the main character of a renowned novel written by Ricardo Guiraldes.
If you go on the peak of summer season you will find all sorts of Festivals all centered around the Gaucho traditions, it will probably be crowded as well.
But if you go off season you can enjoy strolling along its quiet streets or sitting beside the river and enjoying a good Asado, a must in the pampas.
It is also a place to buy good quality Argentine crafts.
