Cariló (from the Mapuche word meaning "Green Dune") is a beach resort town of the Atlantic Coast located in Pinamar Partido, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, approximately 360 km (224 miles) south of Buenos Aires city. It lies between the towns of Pinamar and Villa Gesell along the Atlantic Ocean.
Established through a forestation project in the early 20th century by Héctor Manuel Guerrero, Cariló is characterized by dense pine forests and sand dunes. Local regulations protect the forest by limiting tree removal and requiring replanting. The town's roads consist exclusively of sandy trails, without asphalt or concrete.
