Tandil is located some 300 km southwest of the capital city of Buenos Aires. Flights connect from Buenos Aires with Tandil with a daily frequency, and several buses arrive in Tandil every day from Buenos Aires. Just 2 minutes away from town, the small lake offers water sports enthusiasts calm waters in which to row, practice windsurf or ride a jet ski. An old dam crowns the north end of the lake, whose shore is lined with nautical clubs with restaurants where visitors can spend placid moments relaxing with the family. The old Fort Independence, that gave birth to the city back in 1823, is situated atop a mountain and restored so that visitors can tour century old relics of the fight against the Indians.
Cars can arrive easily at the summit and enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the city below.
Mount Calvario Reproducing all the stages of the Via Crucis of our Lord Jesus Christ, Mount Calvario provides an ideal setting for meditation amidst old and tall coniferous trees and splendid views of the city. Christ on the summit of the mountain crowns the monument and offers a great panorama of the mountains, especially during sunsets. Although the rock finally tumbled down in the twenties, the 500 m climb attracts trekkers that wish to enjoy great views of the city and the pampas.
