About Plaza 12 de Febrero
Plaza 12 de Febrero organizes the center of Maipú. The ornamental fountain occupies a prominent position among promenades, trees and seating areas. The surroundings bring together urban services and buildings that help recognize the city beyond wine visits.
The square can be covered in a short walk, with stops to look at the fountain and the paths. The scale of the center contrasts with the transfers that lead to Coquimbito and the wineries. Therefore, it's worth using this point to start the visit and adjust the rest of the day.
The walk through the square is outdoors and fits between arrival and a reserved visit. If the trip takes place in the hot months, choose a cooler time to walk. The wine museum in the former chalets is in another part of the city and requires its own visiting time.
