Sierra de los Padres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The western hills of Sierra de los Padres

Sierra de los Padres is a string of rocky hills and ridges about 10 miles west of Mar del Plata. They are part of the Tandilia's mountain range, actually a series of low hills extended from the central Buenos Aires Province to the Cabo Corrientes, in Mar del Plata's coast. These peaks are barely 900 feet high, surrounded by farms in the lower lands and by an exclusive neighborhood built on their slopes. Recreational activities include trekking, PPC, and a large Golf link. Along the main access road there is also a Zoo. The winters are a bit colder than in the coastal area and the summers are not so mild.
