Córdoba
The city of Cordoba is the gateway to one of the most breathtaking provinces of Argentina. It is the second most populous district, but its size and modernity that characterizes it today did not prevent the good preservation of its colonial architectures or the 17th and 18th Jesuit heritage buildings. Hostelling International invites hostels guests in Cordoba to discover the Jesuit Manzana and the Camino de las estancias , declared World Heritage by UNESCO.
Cordoba is a city to enjoy slowly, with a privileged microclimate ranging between 11 º and 24 º and Sierras surroundings, it is ideal for 4x4 excursions, paragliding, mountain bike and kingfish and trout fishing.
Niightlife is very rich in options: big cinemas and theaters, bars, pubs, clubs, pizzerias and restaurants that are mostly found in the passage of the Cerro de las Rosas, on Avenida Rafael Nuñez. Belgrano Street, in contrast, is ideal to appreciate the 30’s art deco architecture of the buildings.
Must see places, with strong historical are San Martín Park and its century-old Cathedral, the historic Cabildo, Parque Sarmiento founded in the nineteenth century, the Museum of Anthropology, the Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes and Casa de Trejo. And those who agree to make a journey of only 36 km, will find in Alta Gracia the Che Guevara Museum, where he spent some years in his childhood.
Córdoba city is very versatile. The confluence of prestigious national universities led it to be surnamed as 'La Docta.' It is also known as the city of bells ¨ ¨, due to the many churches built in the city. It is also the city where high culture gathers in salons and sport facilities in order to listen and dance on the typical local music: el cuarteto, a show that no visitor should miss in this city.
