The City of Mar del Plata is known as "the Happy City." Located in the Province of Buenos Aires, it is
the most important seaside tourist center in the Republic of Argentina. Mar del Plata has a temperate
climate with masses of warm and humid subtropical sea air.
Besides an exceptional sea, Mar del Plata has cliffs, sand hills and vast sandy beaches ideal to enjoy
summer walks, cycling or riding. Visitors may watch sea lions and the routine of seamen that return with their
catches everyday or taste all kinds of seafood and fish in the dozens of restaurants located in the
area.
Mar del Plata is the perfect combination for those who seek quietness and relax as well as the possibility
of finding the constant hustle and bustle in each corner of town.
A major sanitation project is being finalized with the installation of a submarine outfall, which can be visited
during the technical tours after the symposium.
