Discover Miramar through its different highlights: dune forest and trails, a coastal route with a cycle path, or art, local history and natural history. When looking for a hotel in Miramar, it may help to first consider what you want your trip to focus on. The attractions and activities reveal different sides of the city without turning them into a fixed itinerary.

Forest, Dunes and Trails

The Vivero Dunícola Municipal Florentino Ameghino is a forest established in 1923, covering an area of 502 hectares. The landscape of Bosque Vivero Dunícola Florentino Ameghino includes forest, cliffs, dunes and sand hills. Those particularly interested in forest landscapes will find an extensive natural area here. The Bosque Energético, a distinct part of the Vivero, is a planted pine forest covering about three hectares. Trails and paths in Bosque Vivero Florentino Ameghino have varying levels of difficulty, so you can take the demands of each route into account when planning. Conditions on the trails may change.

The Paseo Costanero Sur offers a different focus: it runs along the coast and has a cycle path. If you are looking for a seaside route and somewhere to cycle, you can compare it with the forest trails as a separate option. Another recreational option is Parque de Los Patricios–Paseo del Durazno. It has a lake formed by a dam, where leisure trips by pedal boat are possible.

Art, History and Natural History

Parque de la Bienal de Arte Esteban Svast is located at the entrance to Miramar on RP 11. It features more than 90 murals and 12 sculptures; the collection may continue to grow. Also at the entrance to Miramar on Ruta 11, Parque Cultural de la Bienal Internacional de Arte Esteban Svast was designed as a free, publicly accessible cultural and recreational route. One name refers to the art collection, the other to the cultural and recreational route.

Iglesia San Andrés Apóstol was completed in 1891. It is located on Calle 29 between Calle 22 and Calle 24 and is considered a landmark associated with Miramar’s founding. If you are interested in local history, you can connect this historical context with a visit to the church. Another religious destination is Gruta de Lourdes y Via Crucis del Bosque: this open-air Catholic sanctuary is located in Vivero Dunícola Florentino Ameghino and is free and open to the public. Services and conditions on site may change, so check the latest information before visiting.

Museo de Ciencias Naturales Punta Hermengo offers a natural-history contrast to art and architectural history. Its fossil collection includes remains of large glyptodonts, megatheriums and saber-toothed cats, as well as whales, dolphins and local mollusks. The finds mentioned therefore range from large mammals to smaller marine animals. If you are interested in fossils, you can include the museum as a distinct cultural highlight when choosing places to visit.

Local Products and Getting There

Feria Verde, at the intersection of Av. 40 and 37, promotes and sells natural products from family-run agroecological farms. The selection includes seasonal vegetables, preserves, jams, honey, pollen and herbal infusions, among other items. It also includes whole-grain sourdough baked goods, legume burgers and cookies. Seasonal vegetables and the possibility that the selection may change make the feria a different focus for a visit than forest, coast or culture; product availability may vary.

Miramar can be reached from Mar del Plata via RP 11 and RP 88. When planning your trip, you can sort nature, the cycle path, art, history, the museum and the feria according to the topics that matter to you. Discover more destinations: Mar Del Sur.
