What you can expect

Join us on a captivating journey beyond Cordoba as we embark on a scenic adventure through enchanting destinations. In the morning, we'll pick you up from your hotel and set off along Route No. 9 towards Colonia Caroya, a charming town inhabited by descendants of immigrants from northern Italy. Prepare to be immersed in their rich cultural heritage.

Our first stop will be at the Estancia Jesuítica Casa Caroya, a historical site that once served as a summer residence for the college students of Monserrat. Marvel at the architectural grandeur and delve into the fascinating history that unfolds within its walls.

Next, we'll continue our exploration to Jesus Maria Village, renowned for its vibrant festival of doma (taming) and Folklore. Here, we'll discover the Jesuit Estancia of San Isidro Labrador, a trailblazer in winemaking within the region. Immerse yourself in the artistry and flavors of local wines as we uncover the secrets behind their production.

As our journey progresses, we'll visit the historic Posta Sinsacate and Barranca Yaco, sites that resonate with stories of the past, including the fateful demise of the influential leader Facundo Quiroga. The allure of these places lies not only in their historical significance but also in the picturesque landscapes that surround them.

Our final destination will be the magnificent Estancia Santa Catalina, where a stunning baroque church awaits. Be captivated by its architectural splendor and soak in the serene ambiance of this breathtaking location.

During the latter part of our trip, we'll venture through the captivating Sierras Chicas area, passing through a string of picturesque towns such as Ascochinga, La Granja, Villa Animi, Agua de Oro, Salsipuedes, and Rio Ceballos. Each town holds its own charm and allure, offering glimpses of rural tranquility and natural beauty.

As the sun begins to set, we'll make our way back to Cordoba, bringing an end to our unforgettable adventure.
