Cordoba & Central Sierra Holidays

A short flight north-west of Buenos Aires into the geographical centre of Argentina is the large but pleasant city of Cordoba, capital of the province of the same name. A key attraction on Cordoba holidays is the city's gorgeous setting, at the foot of the 'Sierras Chicas' - the rolling hills or 'little mountains' of the central part of the country, and its temperate climate. Culture vultures should note the city is home to the country's oldest university, founded by the Jesuits in the early 1600s, and to beautifully preserved colonial architecture. The city's large student population means Cordoba has a fun, lively atmosphere. Between the pancake-flat pampas and the Andean spine that divides Argentina and Chile, Cordoba province is gaucho territory too, although the horsemen and cattle-herders here have very different terrain to deal with from their pampa or Patagonia counterparts. We can arrange stays at beautiful estancias where you can ride out with gauchos. Read more
