🇦🇷 Córdoba | The Soulful Heart of Argentina
Spent three days exploring Argentina's second-largest city—here's how I uncovered its hidden gems: 1. Villa Carlos Paz 🏞️ Just 40km from Córdoba, this lakeside town surprised me with its alpine charm. Rode a cable car for panoramic views 🚡, strolled along the shore, and returned to Plaza San Martín to watch pigeons flutter around historic churches ⛪. 2. La Cumbrecita 🏡 A storybook German-Swiss village nestled in the mountains! Day-tripped past a massive dam to reach this fairytale spot. Three hours of wandering cobblestone paths, crossing wooden bridges, and pretending I was in Europe (with Argentine wine, of course 🍷). 3. Horseback Riding Adventure 🐎 Took a bus to El Manzano (50km away) for a gaucho-style day: Morning: Gentle 1-hour ride through valleys ☀️ Lunch: Farmhouse asado (that smoky, juicy Argentine BBQ!) 🔥 Afternoon: 1.5-hour wilder trail—ducking branches, weaving through forests, and soaking in golden light filtering through trees 🌲 Pro Tip: Wear long sleeves/pants unless you fancy becoming one with the wilderness! #Wanderlust #ArgentinaTravel #CórdobaDiaries #OffTheBeatenPath
