    Parque Queru Queru

    Walk five minutes southwest to Parque Queru Queru. This park was part of the Wittlich-Panemberg family estate. It offers a quiet space to rest and see the greenery of the area away from the main square.

    Head back toward the center to La Estancia for dinner. This upscale Argentinian steak house is known for its pleasant atmosphere.
