Travel to the Province of Córdoba

Founded in 1573 by the Suquía river, the city of Córdoba is famous for being the greatest cultural and service center after Buenos Aires. It has an historic center with some of the most valuable heritage in the country, with a number of churches, convents and old houses dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries with remarkable artistic and architectural value. The Cathedral, the Compañía, Santa Teresa and Santa Catalina Convents, the House of the Sobremonte Marquee, the Rivera Indarte theater are among the outstanding monuments in Argentina's architectural heritage.

There is also the modern, active Córdoba which holds a first class university and business center, shops and excellent hotels and services for tourists. The downtown area with its pedestrian squares and walkways, commercial sites, malls, cultural and recreational centers, and the Suquía and the Cañada as the axes of a new urban landscape are essential parts of Cordoba's identity.

The geographic contrasts are the main characteristic of this northwest region.

The Sierras Grandes, the Pampa de Achala, the Condorito National Park are great attractions for adventure tourism, trekking and mountain climbing.

Arts and crafts in this area are made in black ceramics and you can also buy hand-made sweets and regional wines from the hospitable locals.

The Argentine Republic Rally, with its worldwide recognition as one of the most important in its category, gathers tourists from all over the world and represents an important event in the province. The Punilla Valley is the heart of tourism in Córdoba.

The Terrones and its reddish rock formations, strangely eroded, the Quebrada and view point in Cuchi Corral as a hang gliding center, the Quebrada de Vaquerias, the Natural Reserve of Bosque Serrano and the Chorrilos Waterfall are some of the sights in this valley.

The recreational activities, sailing, windsurf, canoeing, swimming, horse back riding, trekking and hiking have their special setting in the Cosquin and San Antonio rivers, the San Roque dam by Carlos Paz city, the La Falda and the Cajon dams in Capilla del Monte.

colonial times: the Jesuits' ranch that gave the city its name.

The Calamuchita valley is limited by the Sierras Chicas to the east and the Sierras de los Comechingones to the west and has the magnificent Champaqui Hill (2,794 meters above sea level) as its highest mountain.
