La Cumbrecita
Argentina's first pedestrian-only village, surrounded by pine forests, streams and Alpine-style wooden chalets, with trails leading to waterfalls and river pools.
La Cumbrecita is a small village in the Córdoba Hills founded in the 1930s by German immigrants. In 1996 it became Argentina's first “pedestrian town,” so visiting cars must be parked at the village entrance. Inside you'll find pine forests, Alpine-style wooden chalets, tearooms and German-style pastry shops. Trails lead to “La Cascada” (the small waterfall) and “La Olla” (the river pool, good for swimming), or up a small hill for views. It's about 40 km from General Belgrano by mountain road, part of it unpaved. Summer weekends are busy.
