Introducing La Falda
A woodsy resort town, La Falda is busier than its Central Sierra neighbors and not quite as interesting. It’s worth a day or two, though, for walks in the hills and a wander around the grounds of the historic (and now defunct) Hotel Eden, built in 1897, where the guest list included Albert Einstein, the duke of Savoy and several Argentine presidents.

La Falda’s main plaza (cnr Sarmiento & Rivadavia) is a charming, tranquil affair, all the more so for being removed from the main drag. Weekends and daily in summer, there’s an artisan market (daylight hr) here.
The tourist office (423007; Av España 50; 8am-8:30pm) is very helpful and has excellent maps of the area.
