Carlos Keen

About

Carlos Keen is a tiny tourist town in the Buenos Aires province that comes alive on weekends or holidays. The locals call it “polo gastronómico” or a gastronomic hub, because of a large number of restaurants that offer typical Argentinian food, including the famous carne asada. Once you have a nice big meal, get rid of your food coma by walking around the town and visiting the city’s main square and the Chapel of the San Carlos Borromeo Parrish. The local market offers artisanal goods, chocolate, and fresh eggs and dairy. Children will enjoy riding a horse under supervision of a gaucho. We recommend visiting the town on a Saturday, to avoid traffic on Sunday and to not come to a ghost town on a weekday.
