About this experience
Meet Cumbrecita, a small Alpine village nestled in the Sierras, Argentina’s first pedestrian town.
We leave Córdoba by Provincial Route 5, passing through the Monument to Myriam Stefford, Alta Gracia, Anisacate, La Bolsa and Villa Ciudad de América. We continue the tour crossing the four tributary rivers of Lake Los Molinos and the towns of Potrero de Garay and Los Reartes. From there we ascend the Sierras Grandes, crossing a picturesque region of coniferous forests. We pass through Villa Berna and arrive at La Cumbrecita, a small village in Alpine style that has the uniqueness of being one of the few pedestrian villages in the world. We visit the resort La Olla, the traditional hotel La Cumbrecita, the ecumenical chapel, etc. Then we know Villa General Belgrano, with its particular Central European physiognomy. We resume the RP 5 passing through the Wind Curve, enjoying a spectacular panoramic view of the Lake and Dyke Los Molinos; and we begin the return to Córdoba.
