Centenario offers a range of reasons to visit: local history, tours at agricultural businesses, and outdoor activities. Before planning your trip, you can decide whether you are especially interested in cultural history, wine and tastings, or walking trails and motorsports.

History in Centenario

The Museo Municipal is located in the former building of Escuela Nº 109. The first school to have its own premises operated in this building; today, it is the municipal museum. The site thus connects the history of an early school with the present-day museum. Casco Viejo refers to the historic area that emerged as Centenario’s population became established. These two connections illustrate different aspects of local history: the school building represents an institution, while Casco Viejo represents the development of a historic area.

Wine, Olive Groves, and Gardens

Viñas Constanza offers vineyard tours and wine tastings. Praderas Neuquinas combines olive grove tours with tastings; the products included in the tastings are not specified. Flor Dorada adds tours of an agroecological garden to the selection. Each offering has a different focus: vineyards and wine at Viñas Constanza, olive groves and tastings at Praderas Neuquinas, and gardening at Flor Dorada. Confirm the details with each business before your trip.

Wine also features in the region’s broader tourism offerings. Centenario is part of the Ruta del Vino and Las chacras Neuquinas in Neuquén; the visitor offering includes tastings of Patagonian wines. The connection with wine therefore ranges from the specific tours and tastings offered by individual businesses to a regional thematic context.

Walking Trails and Motorsports

Paseo Costero de Centenario is a balneario with barbecue areas and walking trails. It offers a different way to spend time outdoors than tours of a vineyard, olive grove, or garden. Those who want to go for a walk or use the barbecue areas will find a distinct focus here among the local offerings.

For motorsports, there is Autódromo Parque: the facility is a racetrack for TC and speed racing. This stands in clear contrast to the agricultural tours and walking trails at Paseo Costero. If you are planning to travel to Centenario for a race, check the event schedule in advance.

The Wider Confluencia Department

The wider destination of Departamento Confluencia offers other attractions in different locations.
