Córdoba & Central Sierra

Argentina

A short flight north-west of Buenos Aires into the geographical centre of Argentina is the large but pleasant city of Córdoba, capital of the province of the same name.

The city can also be reached via direct flight from the Chilean capital Santiago, and is home to the country’s oldest university, founded by the Jesuits in the early 1600s, and to beautifully preserved colonial architecture.

One of the city’s key attractions is its 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. Between the pancake-flat pampas and the Andean spine that divides Argentina and Chile, this is gaucho territory too, although the horsemen and cattle-herders here have very different terrain to deal with from their pampa or Patagonia counterparts.

Tierra del Fuego
Tierra del Fuego
Argentina

You might think that a place called The Land of Fire, and the southernmost habitable place on Earth (unless you’re an Emporer Penguin or climate scientist), might be a less than appetising place to hang out.
