Imagine Germany in Argentina! This city is a mix of Argentinian and German cultures. A quick walk through the villa, and you can already appreciate the German influence on architecture and food. There is a viewpoint, "La Torre del Reloj" (Tower of the Clock), where you can see the city's landscape and its forest. I highly recommend you visiting it during the Oktoberfest festivities and eating a good German dish just for fun. The clash of cultures is captivating!
