Things to do in La Falda

  1. Hotel Eden

    Take a guided tour of the once-extravagant, now- decaying Hotel Eden, built in 1897, where the guest list included Albert Einstein, the duke of Savoy and several Argentine presidents. Inside the hotel is the Miniature Train Museum, a strangely captivating museum devoted to, you guessed it, very small trains.

  2. Miniature Train Museum

    A few blocks from Hotel Eden is a Miniature Train Museum, a strangely captivating museum devoted to, you guessed it, very small trains. From the museum, follow signs to El Chorito, a lookout with spectacular views out over the Sierras Chicas.

  3. La Bordolesa

    A laid-back, modern parrilla with two grills going – one inside and one out. If the weather’s good, grab a table on the lawn and a platter of picadas (finger food: AR$25 for two) – it’s a fine way to while away a few hours.

    La Falda’s main plaza is a charming, tranquil affair, all the more so for being removed from the main drag. On weekends, and daily in summer, there’s a feria artisanal here.
