Brand Studio for EMTUR Mar del Plata
Mar del Plata has it all.
And that includes Chapadmalal.
It is no longer just a place between the countryside and the sea, but a concept.
To say Chapadmalal is to amalgamate nature, beaches, relaxation, accommodation, tranquility, wines, gastronomy, bohemia, bars, surfing, cliffs, golf, beers, glamour, home office, art, sports and a captivating environment.
About 20 minutes from Mar del Plata, this region that belongs to the General Pueyrredon Party, stands between dunes, sea, cliffs and the Pampas plain.
Its history goes back to the old Chapadmalal Ranch, from which it takes its name, and which means "between streams" in Araucanian.
Chapa, as almost everyone tells it, is a large sector bordering Route 11 in the section that connects Mar del Plata with Miramar.
It does not have a specific center or a nerve center, because it is made up of different urbanizations, including Playa Chapadmalal, San Eduardo, Los Lobos, Santa Isabel, El Marquesado and San Eduardo del Mar.
You can walk along the cliffs while taking pictures of plants, flowers and birds.
In recent years, and with greater enthusiasm in recent years, it has become the place chosen by many to get away, plan a surf trip, spend long vacations, enjoy their home office by the sea or build their own home.
Chapa is an oasis five hours from Buenos Aires.
