In this excursion from Villa Carlos Paz, we'll visit the tunnels of the Altas Cumbres of Cordoba and the city of Mina Clavero, a key tourist center in the Traslasierra Valley.

Altas Cumbres Tunnels & Mina Clavero Tour

At 7 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Villa Carlos Paz and head towards the western area of the Argentine province of Córdoba.

The route includes 279.6 miles (450 km) of mountain roads reaching 6,561.5 ft (2,000 meters) in altitude, where we'll cross the famous tunnels of the High Sierras of Cordoba. We will learn about the construction and significance of these tunnels while appreciating the morning light illuminating the landscape.

Along the journey through the Altas Cumbres, we'll observe Andean condors, which can have a wingspan of up to 10 ft (3 meters). As we proceed on the mountain roads, sightings of these birds will increase.

We will continue to the town of Mina Clavero, where you'll have free time for lunch after exploring its mountain scenery. In the afternoon, we will begin our return journey while watching the sunset over the Altas Cumbres.

We aim to drop you off at your hotel in Villa Carlos Paz by 7 pm.
