Carlos Ameghino Museum

To go to the Museum you must take Avenida Menguel towards circumvallation road, there turn right and enter to the Rugby Club where you access to the site of the Museum.

The singular colonial building is in itself a historical building worth visiting, since it belonged to one of the first families who settled in the region and has a collection of elements from native animals. There are birds, reptiles, minerals and fossils, as well as historical material from the times of the city founding.

There is even a saurian head, and the remains of a complete animal are being prepared for exhibition with the Museum´s scarse resources and personnel.

To the other end of the city, to the east, along circumvallation road, you arrive to the Library of the Universidad Nacional del Comahue, in Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación.

The building is a historical relic called Palacio Peuser. It was constructed by the Peuser family during the first decades of 1900 and was used as a vacational resort only during a certain season in the year.

The building is a replica of the French Petit Trianon. It maintains its fundamental characteristics and represents an example of the splendor and opulence years of the old colonizing families.
