The North: A Favorite Among Tourists The architecture in this area is not traditionally colonial but predominantly modern and developers not always follow the rules of harmony and good test. Other than that, the north of the island has many beautiful beaches to offer, often times preferred by families because of the calm waters. Crowds of Argentines visit this area every summer.

Also an important archeological site is located at the southern tip of the beach, where you can see a series or rocks that were carved by the original inhabitants of the area.
