The Trip to Villa Epecuen - Buenos Aires province - Carhue - Where to stay

I have mentioned that Carhue is famous for its thermal waters so I recommend you stay at a hotel that has a spa or pool, like "Posada del Lago"

I found it not so cheap, but very tidy and comfortable, well located and with very friendly staff

The Trip to Villa Epecuen - Buenos Aires province - Carhue - Works by Francisco Salamone

I have written about Francisco Salamone in previous posts like when I visited Balcarce.In the late 1930's, several buildings were built in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, basically municipal halls, slaughterhouses and cemeteries portals, designed by the engineer and architect Francisco Salamone, in the case of Carhue it has one of each.

The Municipality of Adolfo Alsina is in the city of Carhue and is a magnificent example of Salamone´s modernist style which I call Art Decó with a bit of Fascism, in the sense of the exaltation of the power of the state reflected in his buildings.

Also the entrance to the cemetery displays a crucified Christ and the slaughterhouse which I will comment on another post.

The Trip to Villa Epecuen - Buenos Aires province - Carhue

Carhue sits at the South-western edge of the Buenos Aires Province very close to the La Pampa province and is the head of the Adolfo Alsina Partido.

A little more average than Pigue, it also has its charms, being graced by several buildings designed by Italian architect Francisco Salamone. It also has several hotels and Spas that offer thermal pools with water from Lake Epecuen, and actually the city holds the Guiness word record with 1941 people floating holding hands in a salty lake.

Besides having a beautiful main square it is also the closest city to Villa Epecuen which was my final destination.
