Summit and Villa General Belgrano Tour from Cordoba Capital
Description
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.

This is a wonderful experience. Both Cumbrecita and Villa General Belgrano are beautiful and unique places. Agustina, our guide was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I very much enjoyed this full day activity.
The driver and guide were really friendly, we learn a lot during this excursion. Cumbrechita is a charming village with beautiful scenery, you can eat quietly on a rock along the river and if you are attentive you may be lucky enough to see a fox pass right in front of you! On the other hand I liked less the second village which is simply a street filled with craft shops and restaurants, too bad.
A nice way to see some of the Province of Córdoba while visiting two tourist towns. Especially in Villa General Bejrano be prepared for large groups of tourists.
Agustina was fantastic, an absolute delight as a guide. She’s very knowledgeable and accommodating to all the groups within the group. Thank you
The tour guide was sweet. Heard little facts about the area. If you don't want to rent a car or get a bus ticket, this is the a good way to go.
Highly recommended Excellent Agus and Pablo
Very good tour, complete and very pleasant despite the bad weather. Both Juli and Damian were a charm, I will repeat as soon as I can.
What a fun day! Who knew that you would find a German village tucked into the hills of Argentina. The pace of the tour was comfortable we had ample time to explore the area. Our guide was attentive and delightful. Scenery was beautiful.
Very good experience. The guide Agustina is very knowledgeable and friendly. The town was beautiful, and we really enjoyed the walking and the amazing views. Highly recommended!
We had a beautiful drive out to the dike with a short stop to get a cup of coffee and enjoy the views. Another lovely drive to La Cumbrecita. Our guide, Martina, was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. She took time to explain the history of the region along the way. She also guided me to the water fall and explained the village history along the way. The next stop in Villa General Belagrano was fun with nice shops and great places to buy chocolate. Ride home was spectacular with beautiful sunset which made the mountains and lake look spectacular. Our driver was excellent as well. Highly recommend this trip.
