We depart from Córdoba along Provincial Route E-55, beginning a journey filled with history and scenic beauty. We pass through La Calera, admire the Hydroelectric Power Station, and the impressive San Roque Dam Wall, the oldest in the province and a landmark of Cordoban engineering.
We then continue through Bialet Massé and Santa María de Punilla until reaching Cosquín, recognized as the National Capital of Folklore, where culture and tradition can be felt in every corner. Our journey proceeds toward Capilla del Monte, at the foot of the enigmatic Uritorco Hill, where we explore its most iconic attractions: the unique covered street, the charming El Zapato formation, the El Cajón Dam, and other highlights of the city.
We then head to La Cumbre, known for its elegant European-style mansions and undeniable mountain charm.

Traveler reviews
Beautiful countryside and towns
Beautiful tour in a comfortable, new van with a guide who spoke excellent English and Spanish. We really enjoyed the day!
Hermosa Mina Clavero
I went alone to .ina Clavero with Lunadelsur trips. We had a great time. They complied with everything agreed. We were taken to Hotel Coronado, downtown, a block from the river and 2 from the suspension bridge and casino. Really nice place. At least the room I touch. We made the excursion to the taninga tunnels. Beautiful place. Spectacular views. Then, for the excursion to Las rosas villa and La vineyard dike, Mina clavero tour left us unexplained (no contrqten. Unpresentable) and Raff tourism saved us (geniuses. They set up the tour in 2 hours and took us). Very nice experience. Cordoba is beautiful
By getting to know other places in Cordoba you can better understand the idiosyncrasy of these kind, friendly and happy people. Climate
