Discover Pueblo Nuevo

If you’re looking for a hotel in Pueblo Nuevo, choosing a focus for your trip can help with your selection. The broader destination of Laprida offers several themes side by side: Francisco Salamone’s architecture, an interpretation center, and leisure activities at the Complejo El Paraíso. This gives you a chance to consider which of these aspects you’d like to shape your stay, without confusing them with the services offered by any specific hotel.

Salamone’s Architecture in Laprida

The Portal del Cementerio in Laprida is 33 meters high; the cross with the figure of Christ mounted on it measures 11 meters. The portal is recognized as a Monumento Histórico Nacional. The central sculpture of Christ was commissioned to sculptor Santiago Chiérico in 1937–1938. The two measurements convey the scale of the structure and its sculpture respectively, making the portal a prominent part of Salamone’s heritage in Laprida.

Francisco Salamone’s buildings in Laprida include the Palacio Municipal, the main square, the slaughterhouse, the cemetery portal, and the Corralón Municipal. They have been declared district heritage. The Palacio Municipal has also received several designations: as municipal and provincial heritage, as well as a national historic site of interest. The Matadero Modelo is likewise recognized as municipal and provincial heritage, as well as a national historic site of interest.

A specific façade detail can be seen at the former Corralón Municipal. Francisco Salamone completed the building in 1937; its façade combines three differently shaped projections: a circular one in the center, a curved one, and one in a classical style. At Plaza Pedro Pereyra, a single design feature also recalls an earlier function: the fountain there originally served as a flagpole.

Interpretation Center and Tower Tour

The Centro de Interpretación de la Obra de Salamone has been open since 2013 and provides tourists with information for a tour of Salamone’s heritage. The “Laprida Corazón de la Obra de Salamone” tour is part of the Ruta Salamone Bonaerense. Together, these offerings provide a way to learn about both the architect’s work and its place on a regional route.

The municipal tourism program “Torres Abiertas” offers another perspective on the Palacio Municipal: the tour described involves climbing more than 100 steps to reach the 40-meter-high tower. If this visit is important to your travel plans, check in advance whether the tour is available on your dates.

Leisure at the Complejo El Paraíso

The Complejo El Paraíso in Laprida is next to Laguna El Paraíso and includes a dense eucalyptus grove. The complex thus combines proximity to the water with wooded areas. Facilities include a buffet, swimming pools and showers, a camping area, fire pits, and an amphitheater. Sports courts for soccer, paddle, and tejo, as well as games for children of all ages, round out the facilities. As individual facilities may change, it’s a good idea to check their current availability before planning a visit.

The Complejo’s sports program includes Rural Bike, duathlon, and triathlon competitions, offered through the Dirección de Deportes. No specific date or recurring event is implied; if you’d like to plan your trip around a competition, ask about the latest dates.

Separately, compare the specific details of each hotel listing, such as location, amenities, and booking conditions.
