A short while away from Buenos Aires, and still in the province of the same name lies San Pedro. On the banks of the Paraná River, it is a well-known place for locals for a weekend getaway if you are searching for a nature trip. It thus has a strong list of activities, including water sports, fishing, horseback riding and several nature walks in and around the town whilst also boasting a historic and beautiful colonial centre.
The ensaimada is another reason to visit San Pedro. It is a Spanish pastry that the town has adopted as its own and perfected. Many places offer courses or demonstrations as to how they are made, which are well worth a visit.
The oldest hotel in town, San Pedro Palace, is also the best place to stay. It dates back to 1898 but has recently been renovated making the hotel even more impressive.
