Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Mar del Plata, Central Argentina

August 11, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

Argentina's top beach resort town, Mar del Plata boasts 10 miles of sandy beaches, from family-oriented La Perla in the north to very popular Bristol in the center and sophisticated Faro in the south. Regardless of the beach, expect very dense crowds, particularly in the summer months. Once an elite enclave, it now attracts visitors of all budgets.

Torre Tanque

Reviewed By 99MD2015 - San Francisco, United States

Magnificent city icon and the thought it was designed to contain water for the inhabitants nearby seems like an architectural extravagance. At first sighting, we thought it was a fortress overlooking the Atlantic ocean and overseeing maritime activity. Nope, just a colossal water tank.

Reviewed By marynY773XA - Papamoa, New Zealand

As English speakers ....we were lucky enough to have just the two of us on our winery tour. Santiago was the perfect host; informative, humorous and helpful to the extent that he reccomended and then booked our dinner reservation back in Mar del Plata as well. This small almost boutique winery produces some excellent varietals and is well worth the trip out from Mar del Plata.
