Los Helechos brings together a regular cultural event and rural tourism offerings. The Fiesta Provincial del Tereré is permanently based here and takes place every year in December. For overnight stays, the Cabañas and holiday facilities at Granja El Potrero, as well as Cabañas at Lagunas de la Selva, are specific local options to consider.

The Fiesta Provincial del Tereré

A provincial law passed in 2021 established the permanent venue and annual December date. The ninth edition took place in Los Helechos on December 13, 2025; the competition for the best tereré had categories for water, juice, and herbs. For planning purposes, it is useful to distinguish between the recurring month and a specific historical date: December 13 was the date of the 2025 edition and is not automatically the date of every future festival.

Granja El Potrero is located in Lote 281 in the Municipality of Los Helechos. It is classified as an agrotourism and agro-camping establishment; its offerings include trails, holiday facilities, and Cabañas. Check current availability before booking.

Small lagoons have been created on the grounds for various activities. A description from April 2022 mentions boat and kayak rides there. An announcement published in 2026 explicitly targeted families and school-age children with recreational activities during the winter holidays.

When choosing dates, keep the different time references in mind: the festival takes place annually in December, the family reference applies to the winter holidays, and boat and kayak rides are mentioned in a description from April 2022. Check the specific festival date and the current availability of the rides; the specific holiday offerings may vary by season.
