General Lavalle is a traditionalist locality located in the center east extreme of Buenos Aires Province. The zone is known like “Pagos del Tuyú”, and besides being head of the party, it centralizes the traffic between farms and rural roads by which travel from small trucks to extensive herds. Only 300 kilometers separate it from the Federal Capital.
The icon of this region is the singing cowboy Santos Vega who was turned into a legend in the homonymous text of Rafael Obligado. Each year is celebrated the Fiesta Nacional Semana de Santos Vega. The tourism in General Lavalle is developed around rural life, the history reflected in still-standing old constructions and the diversity of natural environment.
Some tours that can be carried out in general Lavalle imply visits to the Ria de Ajo, Large-Nature Reserve La Salada Lake, Reserves of the Deer of the Pampas, Samborombón Bay, Humedal –Wetland- and Bonito Lake. The history is present in the Church Our Lady of the Mercy, Museum and Park Santos Vega, Ruins of the Salting House of Pedro Luro.
Between February and March is carried out the Fiesta Nacional Semana de Santos Vega: a popular and traditional festival to enjoy the rural tradition and indigenous music. In its tourist calendar also figures the boat race San Isidro-General Lavalle in May.
In the coast, from Punta Raza toward the south, it has been established that there Santos Vega maintained a payada (improvised musical dialogue) with the devil. His presumed remainders rest in the Park of the Regional Museum General Lavalle.

Estas tierras eran conocidas antes como Pagos del Tuyú. Hacia fines del siglo XVIII comienzan a establecerse los primeros pobladores en ambas márgenes de la Ría. Comerciaban frutos del país y dan origen al primer poblado de Ajó.
Hacia 1870 General Lavalle era el único puerto del lugar, la principal fuente de ingresos era la industria saladeril que decae luego con la llegada del frigorífico. Algunos trabajadores migraron hacia la ciudad, otros fueron contratados por el gobierno y otros se emplearon en estancias.
En 1891 denominó al lugar como Partido de General Lavalle, este comenzaba en el Rincón de Ajó. Recién en 1930 se vislumbra la actividad turística en la zona y es el puntapié inicial de la región turística hoy conocida como Costa Atlántica Argentina. Surgen las localidades de de San Clemente del Tuyú y Mar de Ajó. Más tarde se conforman San Bernardo del Tuyú, Santa Teresita, Mar del Tuyú, Las Toninas, Costa Chica, Lucila del Mar, Costa Azul, Costa del Este, Aguas Verdes, Nueva Atlantis, Pinar del Sol y Costa Esmeralda.
