Villa Ocampo, located in San Isidro, Buenos Aires Province, is the former residence of Victoria Ocampo, a prominent Argentine cultural figure and founder of Sur magazine. Originally built in 1891, the eclectic architecture reflects British and French influences, set within an expansive historical garden. The villa is renowned for hosting a remarkable array of distinguished guests, including literary giants like Jorge Luis Borges and international figures such as Albert Camus and Igor Stravinsky.
