Tourims in Cordoba Argentina:Santa Monica

As usual in Córdoba, the origins of Santa Rosa traces back to the times of bonfires around which the wisdom of the tribal peoples were spread. As it is already known, these primitive tribes perished with the arrival of the first European colonizers. This conquest of the land allows the settlement of different foreign families, the first Jesuitical constructions and the land exploitation. This, which happened four centuries ago, was the beginning of the emergence of one of the most populated cities in Valle de Calamuchita. Among the fanciful forms of Sierras Chicas and the impressive rocky mass of Sierras Grandes, Santa Rosa stands glamorously inviting tourists to try its varied hotel offer and entertainment. When the sun shines on it and the crystal clear river skirts throughout the heart of the city, it means that the atmosphere is perfect to start walking along the paths, to enjoy the horseback rides, to practice diving, to fish and try the all-terrain vehicle circuits among other outdoor activities. The balance between nature and civilization is absolutely possible here. Exuberant vegetation, crystal clear rivers and dream spots mix with the high-quality cottages and hotels to provide visitors all the comfort. When night starts to hide the places that the sun lit hours before, Santa Rosa starts to display the wide gamut of night options as bars, restaurants, cinemas, pubs and discos among others.

Tourims in Cordoba Argentina:San Marcos Sierras

The flower power, the long fluttering hair over his shoulders, the fight for peace and love symbolized in two “V” shaped fingers, were looking for representing the wish of liberation of a movement that in the 60’s strayed off the axis of the stuffy style of conservative life. Some of the members of this Hippy philosophical viewpoint decided to move away from the dogmas of the consumption society and settle in the natural paradise offered by San Marcos Sierras. Just over 10 kilometres to the north of route 38 it is located this beautiful and quiet tourist villa where the tranquility, the art and the contagious “Alpha state” reign. The first catching activity is sniffing around its small streets which end up in the main square. As we continue the way up around its corners, a sign calls our attention; “Museo Hippie” (Hippy Museum). Under the carob and terebinth trees that radiate shadow runs the twisting path showing the way up to the museum set up in a round and white little house built for a natural birth. As a chapel holding in its interior the religious relics of its belief, the small hippy house stores a wide variety of psychedelic-style belief objects of the 70’s. Bob Dylan’s, Pescado Rabioso’s, Almedra’s, Luis Alberto Spinetta’s and Bob Marley’s records; Castaneda’s and Lao-Tsé’s books; and photographs of long hair and natural harmony times. Nearby, a transparent peace sign is built with its visitors’ wishes everyday. It is worth mentioning this is not a metaphor. Wishes are written down in small pieces of paper that are later introduced in bottles, whose destiny is to increase the height of the huge sign. Some, looking for the place’s cosmic energy; others, delighted by the virtues of its land and landscapes, San Marcos Sierras’ population was growing little by little. There are carts pulled by horses between restaurants and grocer’s shops on the streets. This honey paradise and centre of aloe vera-based products also offers a varied offer regarding accommodation and interesting circuits. All over its beautiful corners, there are cottages, hostels and camping areas, the Museo Regional Rumi Huasi (the Regional Rumi Huasi museum), private beaches by Quilpo river, different options for adventure tourism and rides along the nearby hills, the Festival de la Miel (the Honey Festival), narrow streets and people’s tranquility. As expected; sooner or later, the intriguing sign Museo Hippie (Hippie museum) will show up. In few minutes, we will certainly be in front of the huge peace sign built with bottles filled with papers and this will be our turn to make our wishes. With pen and paper in hand, thousands of existential questions come to mind. Attention! We must only write wishes, not questions. In San Marcos Sierras they know that the answers have another way, that they sail round the world and that it is useless to overload the papers with millions of questions. There we are told that only by growing spiritually we could gain access to those answers as Bob Dylan used to sing, “..they float in the wind..” Distance to Córdoba 128 Km.source:cordobaturismo.gov.ar
