Santa Rosa
In the geographic midpoint of Argentina, the capital and main cultural center of the province of La Pampa awaits you.
In a place where the paths merge with the stories of the settlers, Santa Rosa awaits you. Tour this city established in the lands of an estancia [farming estate] back in 1892. Start your journey in the civic center and see buildings designed by renowned architect Clorindo Testa. Explore the cathedral and Plaza San Martin, the Museum of Arts and the Municipal Culture Center, the Spanish Theater and the Monjas Carmelitas Monastery.
Continue your tour in the craft market, where you will find regional products made of leather, wool and wood from the typical tree of the province: the caldén. In the Provincial Museum of Natural History, archaeological pieces and cave paintings that recall the customs of the native communities await you. And just thirty-five kilometers away from Santa Rosa, do not miss the Parque Luro Provincial Reserve. Live it all in La Pampa.
