Large facades of smoothed cement with straight moldings, high sheet metal or bobedilla ceilings, and cancel doors make up the old houses and other buildings in charge of tracing the urban profile of Coronel Vidal. A square adorned with the shade of large trees and centenary palm trees, and gaucho clothing, daily touring the city in search of provisions, draw the characteristic postcard of this city that is part of the Buenos Aires pampas.



A Historical Museum and a 140-year-old grocery store constitute another stereotype of the attractiveness of Coronel Vidal that tends rather to the cultural and traditional aspects of the region. Schools of amanse, duck, polo and horse riding complete Coronel Vidal's rural proposal, tempting him to live fully and satisfactorily.

Horseback riding, fire pits, nocturnal artistic presentations, Creole parades, exhibitions of yeguarizos, make up this billboard without exhausting it in the least.



Establishments dedicated to the breeding and training of Argentine Polo horses, welcoming tourists in cozy rooms, tasting Creole dishes, constitute another interesting facet. Meanwhile, the participatory games of the duck, the basic riding and polo classes, and the workshops related to the process of taming the horse, invite the most curious to learn.



Walks through extensive gardens, horseback riding, bicycle and carriage rides, bird watching, sport hunting, participation in rural tasks, complete the irrefutable proposal of Coronel Vidal, a city that also seduces from its historic grocery store to share with the locals a drink, a picada and some other trick game.
