CORDOBA HOLIDAYS

The main reason for coming to Cordoba is the small collection of rolling hills to north – the Sierras Chicas. These low lying mountains have a similar history to that of the Pampas and as such the area has numerous estancias all of which are a perfect base for horse riding, walking, mountain biking, or just relaxing in the cooler temperatures that this area is known for.
The city of Cordoba has a strong colonial past. Jesuits originally settled here in 1573, before Buenos Aires and Cordoba was the first capital of the country and is now Argentina’s second most important city. Its streets and promenades feature tracks of the ancient colonial architecture mingled with modern buildings and the pedestrian promenades link the main historical buildings.

Most of the estancias are a window to the past as they still retain the original features – open fire places in the communal areas as well in your rooms. Some of them are still working farms whilst others have been converted for tourism. Both however make an ideal base in which to explore this area that seems to have been captured in time.
