Chajarí: Thermal Park, Museums and Cultural Heritage

Things to see and do in Chajarí include the “Daniel Pedro Tisocco” Thermal Park, the city’s historical heritage, museums and themed tours. Topics range from the city’s history and Indigenous perspectives to the nature reserve on the environmental tour and a visit to a salami factory on the production tour. This gives visitors to Chajarí a range of themes to consider when planning their trip. The tours also differ from the museums: for the tours, the season, approximate duration, cost and registration requirements are relevant; the museums, by contrast, focus on historical sites and exhibition themes.

Thermal Park and Visitor Tours

The “Daniel Pedro Tisocco” Thermal Park officially opened on October 6, 2001. Visitor tours in Chajarí start at the thermal baths. They take place during peak season and on long weekends, last approximately two hours, require a fee and must be booked in advance. Allow for the approximate duration when planning your day and arrange the date in advance; seasonal availability may change.

Cultural and Historical Sites

The former Ferrocarril Este Argentino railway station building was declared part of the historical and cultural heritage of the people of Chajarí in 2017. Various cultural and sporting activities currently take place around the former station building. The designation applies to the historic building itself, while the current activities take place in its surroundings. This distinguishes the station’s former identity from the cultural and sporting events taking place in the area today.

Museums with Different Perspectives

The Museo Regional Camila Quiroga is located in one of the oldest houses in the city of Chajarí. It displays items related to the region’s Indigenous peoples, as well as original historical documents, photographs, newspapers and books about the city’s history. The collection brings together regional Indigenous topics and a range of sources on the city’s history. A visit to the museum therefore covers both the history of Chajarí and regional topics related to Indigenous peoples.

The Museo Ivy Marä Ey is located in the Centro Cultural and displays works, texts and photographs about Argentina’s Indigenous nations and groups. By comparison, the Museo Regional Camila Quiroga focuses on the region’s Indigenous peoples and the history of Chajarí. The difference lies in their scope: Ivy Marä Ey covers Indigenous groups across Argentina, while the regional museum combines regional topics with sources on the city’s history. If you choose based on geographical focus, you can distinguish the nationwide perspective from the local and regional focus.

Environmental Tour and Production Tour

The environmental tour visits the nature reserve at Termas Chajarí, a place where nature is preserved. The production tour includes a visit to a salami factory. The tours therefore differ in their focus: the environmental tour highlights nature conservation, while the production tour includes a factory visit. This gives you a clear comparison when choosing between a nature-focused experience and a visit related to production.
