Silos

Silos and Zona Rural de Oriente is a captivating site of a small village constructed in the late 19th century, located in the East Argentine region. Spread across the flat pampas and dotted with colorful vitreous tiles, the village date back to the same period when the colonizing nations migrated here for the fertile land. With about 10 structures and a handful of villagers, the town is frozen in time and the locals still hold traces of a rural independent lifestyle.

The core of it is El Molin, which is a 4-storey grain mill. It's a marvel of engineering which included an underground channel that takes in water from river Carcarañá, also running over a small hill. Next to the mill is a small cluster of interesting architectural and cultural features such as an old chapel, a post office and a windmill. Further off are the local country bakery, the Our Lady of the Agony church and a fortification used back in the days to protect the grain mill. El Molin is surrounded by restored fields, forests and small farms, giving visitors a great glimpse of rural life in the region. Despite its rural location, there are great local restaurants in the nearby city of Fortin Tiburcio, offering up a variety of dishes. Nature lovers and photographers will definitely be enchanted by the Silos and Zona Rural de Oriente, capturing its timelessness and small-town charm.
