There’s a touch pool so you can get up close and personal with the sea life and shows which feature performances by dolphins and sea lions.

Here, you can learn more about the local flora and fauna by visiting the marine mammals, birds, sharks, and even a few rescued animals that they rehabilitate here.

You can buy your ticket for the day, check out the exhibits, and then use the aquarium’s boardwalk and private beach!

Did you know it? This place in the past had a white whale!!!

Some of them were Jorge Luis Borges, Bioy Casares and Gabriela Mistral.

The villa shows us the life of the writer Victoria Ocampo and how her childhood was during that course.

It was bought in England and moved by ship and fully assembled on an iron frame. The main house has an English design style.
The initial purpose was a summer house for the Ocampo family. Now the building is used for tourism and to learn about Victoria Ocampo.

The set was completed with the house of the landlords, French style and a third construction, Italian style, destined to housing for the service personnel, with a double garage, built in 1913 by the Engineer Manuel Ocampo, Victoria's father. Originally, the park had two hectares, one of which is no longer integrated.

Did you know it? Both Villa Victoria and Villa Ocampo (in San Isidro) were donated while alive by their owner to UNESCO upon his death.
