With the start of the summer season, prices for recreational activities and accommodation in Mar del Plata are setting the trend for tourist spending on the Atlantic Coast. Visitors can expect higher costs, especially during the peak months. These price changes affect budgets for families and individual travelers alike.
One of the most popular attractions for friends and families is the banana boat ride, now priced at 30,000 Argentine pesos per person from January 1. The excursion lasts about 15 minutes, according to the Argentine News Agency. A family of four would pay 120,000 pesos for one round, making it a high‑impact recreational outing within the daily vacation budget.
For those who prefer to stay away from city noise and close to nature, Bosque Peralta Ramos remains a sought‑after residential area. Rental prices for a three‑bedroom house start at 100,000 pesos per day, based on real‑estate surveys and short‑term‑rental platforms. The area offers tranquility, tree cover, and easy access to southern beaches and nearby culinary hubs, explaining the high demand in January.
With these price levels, tourists in Mar del Plata must plan and compare costs before traveling, especially families looking to balance recreation, lodging and daily consumption. Careful budgeting can help avoid unexpected expenses and make the most of the holiday.
