Description
Córdoba is one of Argentina’s largest cities and a vibrant center of history, culture, and student life. This historic university city is known for its colonial heritage, its university founded in 1613, and the Jesuit Block (Manzana Jesuítica), which, together with five Jesuit Estancias, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Córdoba combines historic churches and university buildings with lively cafés, art, music, diverse cuisine, and nightlife. The surrounding Sierras de Córdoba, with their mountain landscapes, rivers, hiking trails, and natural swimming spots, also make the city an ideal gateway for exploring the scenery of central Argentina.
