Campanopolis Day Trip
Description
Join us on an exciting day trip to Campanopolis, a unique medieval-inspired community situated just outside Buenos Aires, built during the mid-20th century.
Day Trip Details
Your adventure begins with a pickup at the designated location on Cerrito Street in Buenos Aires, as we set off southward towards this captivating village with its remarkable past.
After a pleasant drive of approximately 30 minutes, we will reach Campanopolis, which is beautifully tucked away in the forests of Ezeiza. The creation of this medieval village was sparked in the 1980s when entrepreneur Antonio Campana faced a terminal illness diagnosis, prompting him to shift his focus from business to building this enchanting community using recycled materials.
Our guided exploration of Campanopolis, lasting around 1.5 hours, will reveal its intricate architecture, winding streets, alleyways, and many hidden treasures. Throughout the construction, Campana ingeniously incorporated various elements including old iron supports from Galerías Pacífico, historic gates from the Palermo Hippodrome, as well as lamps and timepieces from Plaza de Mayo, among other significant antiques.
What sets Campana's creation apart is that he worked without any architectural plans or professional guidance. Our visit will include the museums showcasing wood, iron, and decorative elements known as caireles. A special feature of the village is a delightful collection of 12 charming houses constructed from stone and brick, resembling scenes from animated films.
Once we conclude our tour of Campanopolis, we will return to Buenos Aires, with an expected arrival at the pickup point approximately 6 hours after our departure.
