Cariló (from the mapuche word "Green Dune") is a beach resort town in Argentina. It is situated in a man made forest on the Atlantic coast of the Province of Buenos Aires, approximately 360 km south of Buenos Aires city in the adminastrative division of Pinamar Partido.
Until a few years ago, access to the town was strictly controlled by the ruling authority. Today Cariló is publicly accessible, but comparatively high prices ensure that it remains the preserve of the well heeled.
Cariló offers a lot of activities to individuals of all ages. The beach town offers sand dunes that attract many tourists for four wheeling. Many hotels and lodges in the area either have All-terrain vehicle, or quads, to rent or are associated with a company on the beach that does it. Dune bashing is a local favorite in the area for tourists and year round inhabitants.
How to get there
Access is via intercoastal state Route 11 (Spanish) that travels along the coast of the Province of Buenos Aires. Train, bus and plane are also available from Pinamar and Villa Gesell (please, check transportation availability as it may vary according to low or high season) and then a taxi is required to get there (about 6 to 10 miles from these terminal stations).
