In case you didn’t know, just 90 minutes from the city of Buenos Aires, there’s a bamboo maze—a space built with more than ten varieties of bamboo that invites you this winter break to lose yourself among green paths and reconnect with nature, art, and imagination. We’ll tell you how to get to the Buenos Aires Bamboo Maze and add it to your plans.
The Bamboo Maze with 10 Varieties of Bamboo, 90 Minutes from Buenos Aires, Featuring a Lagoon and Special Winter Activities
Buenos Aires has its own bamboo maze in San Antonio de Areco, just 90 minutes from the city of Buenos Aires. This bamboo maze is designed using patterns inspired by traditional Argentine silverwork and consists of a natural latticework constructed from more than 10 varieties of bamboo.
If you decide to visit, you’ll not only be amazed by its beauty but also discover an immersive experience with nature. The bamboo maze is part of Laberinto Pampa, an immersive natural space located in San Antonio de Areco, within the Estancia La Cinacina.
There, you’ll be able to walk, search for exits, discover hidden corners, and reconnect with nature. It’s the perfect place to enjoy with your family.

This winter break, the maze is the centerpiece of a program of activities designed to help you connect with nature. You can enjoy a variety of activities during the day from July 20 to August 1.
What activities does the bamboo maze offer for winter break?
Every day, from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., you can explore its bamboo mazes, stroll along trails through forests and around lagoons, and participate in bird-watching and track-finding stations. In addition, there are ongoing workshops on creating with natural elements (such as clay and seeds), and the grounds feature “El Salón del Sol, ” a shelter offering games, shows, and home-cooked meals.
Among the highlights for the whole family from July 20 to August 1, don’t miss the Indian horse-riding show “El encantador de caballos” (The Horse Charmer), botanical art workshops and creative activities using traditional local materials, and the “Caminatas Musiqueras” (Musical Walks) featuring instruments made of bamboo. You’ll also be able to enjoy afternoons of fantastic storytelling with a traveling library and the show “Guardians of the Bamboo,” an adventure inside the maze that combines mystery, acrobatics, fire, and live music.
