Cavalango between riverside scenery and tradition

Cavalango combines striking waterscapes with local traditions. The Río Los Chorrillos runs through the town, forming pools and natural diving rocks among the rocks. Other highlights include the Balneario Los Socavones natural swimming area, the Cascadas Las Hoyas complex, and cultural landmarks such as Iglesia San Cayetano. When choosing where to stay, you can consider whether you want your trip to focus on water and nature or on local history and customs.

Water and nature in Cavalango

Along the Río Los Chorrillos, rocks, pools, and natural diving rocks are part of the landscape. The river gives you a tangible sense of how water and rock together shape the town’s scenery. The Balneario Los Socavones natural swimming area is a suitable place for visitors to cool off on warm summer days. If you are interested in water as part of your holiday experience, you can focus on these two features: the river and its pools, and the natural swimming area as a place to cool off.

There is also an arts and crafts promenade at the main balneario. It adds a cultural perspective to the places associated with water. If you are interested in local crafts as well as nature, you can include this in your plans for things to do in Cavalango.

The Cascadas Las Hoyas complex is near the Arroyo Los Chorrillos and surrounded by natural scenery. It offers a distinct nature experience alongside the river that runs through the town. On December 30, a guided trek ran from 3 Cascadas to Trompa del Elefante. Residents and visitors could take part and explore the local trails.

Church, customs, and cuisine

Iglesia San Cayetano is a rustic stone church founded in 1957 by Monseñor Castellano. As a cultural landmark, it adds another point of interest to the waterside scenery. The Morteros Chelko-Kamiare are also among the town’s notable cultural references: they are described as ancestral sites of historical and cultural significance.

The patron saint celebrations in honor of Saint Cajetan include a procession, a gaucho parade, live music, traditional food, and handicrafts. The program brings together religious celebration and local tradition with music and cuisine. The third edition of Cabalango al Disco, held on July 18, featured food stalls and dishes cooked on the disc. This specific event adds another culinary dimension to the foods served at the patron saint celebrations.
