La Cumbrecita

Introducing La Cumbrecita

The pace of life slows waaaay down in this alpine-styled village, nestled in the forest in the Valle de Calamuchita. The tranquility is largely thanks to the town’s pedestrian-only policy. It’s a great place to kick back for a few days and wander the forest trails leading to swimming holes, waterfalls and scenic lookouts.

Visitors must park their cars in the dirt parking lot (AR$6) before crossing the bridge over Río del Medio by foot.

The helpful tourist office (481088; www.lacumbrecita.gov.ar in Spanish; 8:30am-9pm summer, 10am-6pm winter) is on the left, just before you cross the bridge into town.
