Villa de Merlo and La Toma Day Trip

At 7:30 am, pickup will be from your hotel in Potrero de los Funes for the journey to La Toma.

In La Toma, we will visit a museum and workshop dedicated to onyx marble crafts, observing traditional manual techniques passed down for centuries.

The excursion continues through the Conlara Valley to Villa de Merlo, where we will explore the Rincón and Rincón del Este neighborhoods, prominent locations for viewing the Mogote Bayo Provincial Nature Reserve.

The tour includes a visit to the Dos Venados Casino, notable for its entrance sundial, followed by a trip to the outskirts of Villa de Merlo to see the Piedra Blanca sites, the birthplace of poet Antonio Esteban Agüero. Here we will also view the "algarrobo abuelo", the oldest carob tree in the province.

After learning about this tree's history, we will return to the historic centre of Villa de Merlo for one hour of free time for lunch. The return to your hotel in Potrero de los Funes is scheduled for 4:30 pm.
