Las Perdices is located on National Route 158 and is part of the Fortines, Lagos y Lagunas tourist route. Its location on the highway and its inclusion in the route give the town two distinct geographical connections. When planning your trip, it is important to distinguish the local focus on attractions, local history and walks from regional themes.

Walks and Local History

Walks are among the activities Las Perdices offers its visitors. A walk can include Plaza 25 de Mayo. Other attractions include Iglesia Nuestra Señora del Rosario and Casa de la Cultura. For planning purposes, it is helpful to distinguish between them: the plaza is explicitly included in a possible walk, while the church and Casa de la Cultura are mentioned as attractions. This makes it possible to think of a stroll around the plaza separately from the wider selection of cultural destinations.

The town’s development history offers a different perspective. In the late 19th century, Las Perdices developed as one of the settlements that grew up inland around railway stations. This background places the town within a broader pattern of settlement and complements a visit to its attractions. Those interested in the town’s history can consider it as a separate focus alongside a walk and its cultural destinations.

Festival and Travel Dates

The Fiesta Provincial del Zapallo takes place in November in the central square of Las Perdices. Exact dates may vary from one edition to another. So if the festival is a reason for your trip, check the dates for the relevant edition before booking. A traditional Jineteada was prepared for a new edition in 2025 as part of the 138th anniversary of Las Perdices. This means a November festival with dates that vary by edition and an event notice tied to a specific anniversary occasion are both featured.

More to Explore in the Wider Tercero Arriba Department

The wider destination of Tercero Arriba Department offers additional themes in other places. In Villa Ascasubi, the tourism department offers a podcast as an audio guide to the town’s history, buildings and notable people, from its beginnings to the present day. It is available on Spotify for mobile devices and computers; individual episodes or the platform may change. Also in Villa Ascasubi, the ruins of Capilla de Rodríguez preserve foundations made of calicanto. The chapel dates from 1727 and served as the center of Curato del Tercero Arriba for many years. Here, digital access to local history and a specific historic site offer distinct cultural experiences.

In Almafuerte, the municipal “Mejor en Bici” program provides tourists with free bicycles so they can explore the city. Check availability before your trip. At Dique Piedras Moras in Almafuerte, rowing and sailing boats and diving are permitted; motorboats are prohibited. These details clearly distinguish the activities available there by mode of transport.

Birdlife from the Espinal region can be observed along the Río Ctalamochita. Morning hours are recommended, although conditions vary. Together with the cultural and water-based activities in Almafuerte and Villa Ascasubi, this gives the wider Tercero Arriba Department additional, distinct reasons to visit, separate from a visit to Las Perdices.
