Tandil is located in the centre-southeast of the Buenos Aires Province. Its name has mapuche origin, deriving from two words: “Tan� (fallen down), and “Lil� (rock), in clear allusion to the moving rock which is a popular landmark. This giant rock which oscillated from a mountain and was worldwide famous fell down on 29 February 1912. The town is not only famous for its several tourist attractions; it is also popular for the life quality and the warmth of its residents towards tourists.
