Two friends put the timer on their cell phones and smile for the photo with the background of a pineapple-shaped installation that marks the beginning of the
Camino Parque de los Pioneros
, a smooth cement path that invites runners and cyclists through several kilometers of forest , away from the noise of the city and the bustle of the beach.
This is the steel sculpture
"Permanence of a dream"
, which, almost 9 meters high, caught the attention of tourists from Entre Ríos Agustina Funes (30), from Villaguay, and Denise Burne (30), from Rosario del Tala.
Wearing sneakers and sports shorts, they had just finished the path when they ran into the pineapple.
It is no longer necessary to take a selfie with your arm or carry selfie sticks, or improvise juggling to balance the cell phone against some wood.
Since this summer, some of the
most instagrammable points in Pinamar
have a
cell phone holder with the right angle
to pose with the attraction behind.
And to make it more entertaining, they were placed in
a position where two photos can be taken
.
For example, in the case of this structure, there is a forest on the other side where you can pose.
The "Venus fragmenting itself" by Marta Minujín, in front of the Hotel Playas, will be another of the selfie spots.

The initiative was designed by Pinamarans, along with photographers and content creators, to provide
tourists with a route of the best photos
: a free activity with the best landscapes, works of art or natural environments to explore.
The supports are made
of reused wood from local pine trees
and enhanced through the Japanese yakisugi technique, to preserve the wood through a combustion process.
The route map will be
available on Google Maps
, where tourists can upload photos of each point.
This 2023, in addition, the second edition of
the InstaPinamar contest will be held
, which through the @pinamar.ok account will invite visitors and residents of Pinamar to upload their best photo from these selected points.
Here are some of the
best points
that the tour will have:
Pinamar sign
Selfie point: the Pinamar sign, which with the cell phone in an upright position says "amar".

Every time you pass
the roundabout on Avenida Bunge and Avenida del Mar
, someone is taking a picture with the lettering sign that bears the name of the city and the sea in the background, a classic that cannot be missed.
The perfect photo is horizontal
, but for those who want to take it vertical for a story, they will be able to include the last part in their shot.
"We chose to read 'AMAR'", explains one of the referents of the project to
Clarín
.
In the other side?
If you turn the camera, you can
frame the sculpture "Drawing Spaces"
by Raúl Oscar Pájaro Gómez, that stainless steel installation located in the center of the roundabout, which has movement as one of its main characteristics.
The mobile work is 7.80 meters wide by 2.70 deep and 9 high, and is made up of two shapes that move on their own axis from the natural action of the wind that generate new and diverse shapes and colors. in the space.

Many take a photo with the surveillance post located at the entrance to the municipality, on Avenida Bunge, but a few meters further towards the center, is the sculpture
"Permanence of a dream" by Alberto Bastón Díaz
, which is not far behind in its grandeur. when it comes to getting a good memory.
The work was made for the
70th anniversary of the city
, in February 2013. Made of Corten steel, it is 6 meters wide by 6 meters deep and 8.50 meters high, and
represents an open pineapple
, “shelled”. , “as if fertilizing the sandy earth and the aroma of the forests”, describes the Respirá Pinamar site.
The exact location is Av. Bunge and Camino Parque de los Pioneros, and you can take advantage of the visit to walk, ride a bike or run along this path that runs through
several kilometers of pine forests in the northern part of Pinamar
.

The support, which is already installed, allows you to take a photograph of the entire sculpture -the best time is in the morning, before 11am- or, turning the cell phone, a forest landscape.

It still does not have a cell phone holder, but it is a key point to take
photos with the sea in the background
.
The hill on Martín Pescador street, the
highest in Pinamar
, reaches its maximum point just past De la sirena street, just four blocks from the sea.
It is in the center of a picturesque residential area and has an enviable view of the blue ocean: it is not for nothing that the Augusto Palace itself, known by all as
“the castle of Pinamar”
is located on that block, walking towards Libertador.
In Italian Gothic style, the building combines murals, period arches and balconies.
The magnetism it generates among tourists makes it an obligatory visit, although the owner keeps the doors closed, while the work that his father began continues with new renovations.
under the pier
A different photo, under the pier.

You have to
avoid the sunny hour
, because it will be difficult to get a photo without people around.
The beach area below the pier, located at the height of Eolo street, is populated with lounge chairs and towels that get in the way of those who come walking along the shore.
Zero glamour, but
the photo is perfect
.
70 meters long, the typical shot is with your feet almost in the water and the waves behind you.
It can be done at any time of the day, due to the shadow generated by the pier itself.
The support will be installed in a later stage, but it can already be visited.
And an interesting option is to take the opportunity to walk on the beach, go fishing or have lunch or dinner at the
Fishermen's Cooperative
, with fresh catch of the day at a good price.
San Martín Catwalk, Valeria del Mar
The Valeria del Mar catwalk is also on the selfie route.

It is located in Falucho San Martín and beach.
Made of light wood,
it blends into the sand
of the dune line full of acacias and tamarisks that divides the urban area of Valeria del Mar and the beach.
It was carried out as part of the Comprehensive Plan for the Reformulation of the Pinamar Seafront and, in addition to making the entrance to the beach more accessible, with ramps for wheelchairs, it
works as a viewpoint
.
There are other walkways in Pinamar, Valeria del Mar and Cariló that can be visited, but due to its extension and panoramic view, San Martín is one of the most preferred for taking photos.
Soon it will also have support for selfies.
