A very nice cycling route, some of it on a superbly paved road. I didn't encounter a single bike or car along the entire stretch.

Even before his election as supreme shepherd of the Catholic Church, the then Archbishop of Buenos Aires had met several times with Rabbi Abraham Skorka for a joint book project. On the subject of the Holocaust, Jorge Bergoglio (later Pope Francis, who died Easter Monday 2025) said: "The Shoah is a genocide like the others of the 20th century, but with one particularity. I don't want to say that it is paramount in importance and the others secondary, but there is one particularity, an idolatrous construction against the Jewish people. The pure race, the superman, these are idols upon which National Socialism developed (...) And every Jew killed was a slap in the face for the living God in the name of idols." (Source: "On Heaven and Earth, Jorge Bergoglio in Conversation with Rabbi Abraham Skorka", Goldmann-Verlag, Munich 2014)

A very pretty route along a dam between ponds. The road is almost car-free, but very bumpy and rough. Nevertheless, it's highly recommended.

Undulating surface, but little traffic and in keeping with the style of the crucifix!

A quirky ensemble of church, pub, and crucifix. It's a bit off the main road, but worth a visit if you want to take a break.
