One hour from Buenos Aires: The town where you can explore an incredible bamboo labyrinth

A unique attraction has emerged in San Antonio de Areco, Argentina, just 112 kilometers from Buenos Aires: Laberinto Pampa, a sprawling bamboo labyrinth located at the historic La Cinacina estancia. This newly inaugurated space offers visitors a chance to wander through verdant pathways and immerse themselves in nature.

“

We are already working on the educational area with visits for schools of all levels and specific groups that choose the space and its proposals for meetings, art therapy, coaching, and biodanza, among others.

The concept for the labyrinth originated seven years ago with Claudio Liberman, the owner of La Cinacina. He collaborated with artist May Borovinsky, who designed the labyrinth and selected the diverse bamboo species that form its structure. Borovinsky, a visual arts graduate, explained that the labyrinth features over 10 types of bamboo and is designed to be an "environmental remediation" site, drawing on global networks that promote bamboo's ecological benefits.

Laberinto Pampa presents two distinct walking experiences, both inspired by the intricate designs of traditional Creole silverwork, a hallmark of the region. One path, based on the rhea feather motif, embodies the logic of searching, getting lost, and finding one's way. The second path, inspired by the pansy flower, encourages contemplation, aiming to slow the mind and expand consciousness.

They are two templates with different logics. On one hand, the rhea feather, which materializes the logic of search, loss, and encounter. On the other, the pansy flower, which responds to the modality of contemplation, of the garden that slows down the mind and expands consciousness.

Beyond its artistic and recreational appeal, the labyrinth is envisioned as an educational hub. Borovinsky mentioned ongoing work to develop programs for schools and specific groups, offering activities like art therapy, coaching, and biodanza. The labyrinth, covering approximately one hectare, is open on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 11:30 AM to 5:30 PM, providing a tranquil escape and a unique connection with nature.

It is a work in collaboration with nature. The bamboos express themselves to guide our steps, our decisions, they modify our views and projections as they shape the present.
