Carilo – Hotels between forest and coast

Carilo brings together forest landscapes and coastline. The protected settlement of Parque Cariló is located in the Partido de Pinamar and is defined by a clearly described setting. If you are looking for a destination whose character combines forest, coast and landscape conservation, Carilo offers a specific setting for that.

Forest history and protected landscape

The forest now known as Cariló took shape through work that began in 1918 with the stabilization of dunes and tree planting. This history explains the distinctive connection between forest landscape and coastline: the forest is not merely a backdrop, but a defining feature of the town.

Parque Cariló and its ecotourism development have been recognized as being of provincial importance. Ecotourism here is linked to the complete preservation of the area’s natural conditions. Street names also draw on nature themes and include the names of birds.

Boundaries and getting your bearings

The protected settlement of Parque Cariló is bounded by Provincial Route 11 to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. To the north, its boundary is formed by Corbeta Agradable and Sequoia streets, and to the south by Avenida Constancia. These landmarks help you get a sense of the settlement’s extent.

When planning your routes, you should also take the local street layout into account: Carilo’s streets are unpaved, there are no sidewalks, and pedestrians have absolute priority in Carilo. Check road conditions locally when planning your stay.

Sports, chapel and food

For golf enthusiasts, Links Cariló is a specific point of interest: the golf course has 18 holes and is located at Ñandú 910 in Cariló. Check the course details and current operations before your trip.

Cariló Tennis Club is a tennis facility at the intersection of Casuarina and Perdiz. As contact details and operations may change, it is advisable to check this information in advance. This lets you plan around the sporting activity you want without assuming that a facility’s name alone reflects its current operating conditions.

The Iglesia de Cariló is the Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro chapel. Feria del Bosque offers gourmet areas in the middle of Cariló’s forest. The town’s specific attractions thus range from landscape and history to sports, a chapel and food experiences.

Different priorities may influence your choice of destination: the combination of forest and coast, a sports facility or gourmet areas. These themes describe Cariló from different perspectives; check the latest information about golf and tennis before your planned visit.

Carilo in the Partido de Pinamar

Carilo is part of the wider destination of the Partido de Pinamar. The partido is located in the southeast of Buenos Aires Province, on Argentina’s Atlantic coast. The following regional places and themes provide more context about the destination without describing the characteristics of Cariló itself.

The former Hotel Termas is now called Viejo Hotel Ostende. Construction began in 1913, and it opened in December of the same year. Viejo Hotel Ostende has long been associated with literature. Alongside its landscape, the Partido de Pinamar therefore has its own history and literary heritage.

Other nature and culture attractions in the Partido de Pinamar include the Sendero de Interpretación Botánica de Pinamar, a self-guided trail with signs about different tree species, as well as Parque Escultórico Pinamar. This cultural space showcases art in different landscapes around Pinamar.
