SPECIAL PROGRAMS - MOUNTAINS OF CORDOBA

THE GIANTS

At the northern limit of Las Sierras Grandes de Córdoba, about 30 kilometers from the town of Tanti, stands a massif of granite rock called Los Gigantes. Contained within the Pampa de Achala Water Reserve, it depicts an incredible diversity of native and endemic flora and fauna, as well as incredible landscapes, rock formations, waterfalls, caves and trails. Here we propose outings of one or several days where we will explore this Massif in depth.

MOUNTAIN BIKING

The mountains of Córdoba have the finest settings for practicing mountain biking (or mountain bike); from incredible routes full of ascents and descents on dirt roads or tracks, to quiet walks visiting historical and natural places (cycling).

CROSSING LA CUMBRECITA

Recognized for being the only pedestrian town in Argentina, La Cumbrecita is a paradise that presents a Central European style architecture that lies on the side of the paths that cross the pine forest. The trekking begins in the center of the town, ascending through its pedestrian streets, which little by little become trails. We will visit the Vallecito del Abedul, the hidden waterfall, the entrance to the famous underground rivers and the Wank hill.

ASCENT TO THE CHAMPAQUI HILL

Located in the west of the province of Córdoba, on the cord of Sierras Grandes, it rises the Cerro Champaquí. With its 2790 meters above sea level, it constitutes the highest point of the Province. From the top you can admire extensive landscapes among which you can see mountains, pampas, forests, valleys and lakes. This hill and its surroundings constitute the Champaquí Natural Monument. The ascent is carried out from the small town of Villa Alpina (Department of Calamuchita) in an expedition that lasts two or three days.

MULTI ADVENTURE

We propose you to enjoy a full day of adventure activities: Rappelling and Trekking. This program takes place in different places in Sierras de Córdoba, depending on the time of year. Stay tuned for our next outings and encourage yourself to live a different day.

ASCENT TO THE COLCHIQUI HILL

On this day we suggest you to go up the emblematic Cerro Colchiquí (or Charalqueta), one of the most impressive hills in the Ongamira region, and also to visit Las Cuevas de Ongamira, also called caves. These constitute the Fifth Natural Wonder of the Province and are at 1500 meters above sea level. There are three caves to visit in which you can see traces of the culture of the Comechingones aborigines, who inhabited these lands.

ROCK CLIMBING

Córdoba presents one of the best rocky geographies for practicing this sport. It involves the use of hands and feet to progress or ascend stone walls and is done with the help of ropes and technical elements that provide security to the climber. This one-day outing consists of settling at the base of a low-difficulty wall with equipped climbing routes to enjoy the incredible sensation of reaching the top.

CROSSING IN SIERRAS CHICAS

Hidden in the paradise the cord of Las Sierras Chicas, stands a beautiful hill called Calaguala. With its 1188 meters above sea level, it is located 5 km east of Villa Ciudad Parque, in the department of Calamuchita, the place where the one-day trekking begins.

TREKKING TO LOS ALAZANES DAM

Walking along the banks of the Calabalumba River, at a distance of 7 kilometers there is an artificial water reservoir built in the middle of the mountains, the "Dique Los Alazanes". The beginning of the trekking is done from the base of the Uritorco hill. We will follow a beautiful path surrounded by a Molles forest until the junction of the Huertas Malas and Los Alazanes streams. The dam is located between the Las Gemelas hills and the Uritorco hill, surrounding the Overo hill.
