Cerro La Movediza
At the north edge of town, where Tata Dios gathered his supporters over a century ago, the Piedra Movediza (a 300-ton 'rocking stone') once teetered precariously atop Cerro La Movediza for many years before falling in 1912. A 'replica,' non-moving stone was built in 2007, and a theme park is planned. Take blue bus 503.

Reserva Natural Sierra del Tigre
The Reserva Natural Sierra del Tigre is just south of Tandil, at the end of Calle Suiz, off Av Don Bosco. The rocky hills are fun to climb, and in spring the reserve is filled with fragrant wild flowers. The peaks offer views of the town to one side and the patchwork pampean farms stretching out from the other. A somewhat incongruous collection of animals – llamas and donkeys among them – have free run of the park, while their natural predator, the puma, is sadly caged.
