Celestino Gelsi Dam is part of El Cadillal’s visitor offerings; swimming is possible at its beaches. There are also outdoor activities, views from Cerro Médici and cultural attractions at the Complejo Turístico Puerto Argentino. A simple question can help you choose your destination: should your stay focus mainly on the water, outdoor activities or visits to the complex? When searching for hotels in El Cadillal Dam, you can use these interests as a starting point for comparison.

Beach, boat and views

Swimming is possible at the beaches of Celestino Gelsi Dam. A trip on the Camakén boat is another special visitor experience in El Cadillal. If you’re looking for a view from above rather than a day at the beach or a boat trip, you can find one at Cerro Médici: the Aerosillas complex runs for 600 meters up to the summit and offers panoramic views of Celestino Gelsi Dam. The options offer different experiences: time at the beach, a boat trip or a view from the summit. When planning, you can start with the type of experience you prefer.

Outdoor activities

Hiking, kayaking, canyoning, mountain biking and abseiling are available in El Cadillal under the guidance of trained professionals. The options range from activities on foot or by mountain bike to kayaking and abseiling. When choosing an outdoor activity, you can first decide what kind of activity you want; guidance by trained professionals is a common feature of the activities listed.

The Reserva de Aguas Chiquitas is also located near Celestino Gelsi Dam. It can be reached via a moderately difficult trail that takes about an hour and a half to walk. The approximate duration provides a useful guide for planning your day. This hike can therefore be considered as a separate option alongside the activities offered in El Cadillal under the guidance of trained professionals.

Culture and attractions at the Complejo Puerto Argentino

The Museo Arqueológico El Cadillal is located in the Complejo Turístico Puerto Argentino. Performances take place every weekend in the complex’s amphitheater. If a particular performance is important to your plans, check the current program before your trip.

The Complejo Puerto Argentino also has outdoor picnic areas and games for children. Dining options with views of the lake round out the attractions on site. At the same complex, you can combine a museum visit or performance with a meal overlooking the lake or a break in the picnic area. The children’s games are another specific amenity on the grounds.

Getting to El Cadillal

El Cadillal can be reached via Ruta Nacional N° 9, followed by Ruta Provincial N° 347. When planning your route, you can take both stretches into account in this order. Together with the choice between the beach, a boat trip, outdoor activities and the attractions at the Complejo Puerto Argentino, this provides a clear framework for planning your stay.
