Traveler reviews
A must take tour
This was a really fun and interesting tour of a very unique area of the province. My tour guide Valentin was one of the best guides I could’ve had. He made sure that all of our questions were answered and was very knowledgeable and friendly. Our group became kind of a family for the day. Make sure that you take the chairlift up to the top of the mountain. A must take tour.
Must-See Destination!
Cordoba turned out to be such an unexpected gem of an experience. Initially, my plans for Argentina only included visiting Buenos Aires, but when the chance to explore this province arose, I didn't hesitate for a moment. The tour offered an incredible opportunity to delve into the picturesque landscapes and enchanting towns of the Sierras Chicas region. In summary, I absolutely fell in love with this province!
I wish I could go back
The truth is that despite the fires that occurred during the year it was beautiful, Córdoba seems to always be there to enjoy
