Mina Clavero

Introducing Mina Clavero

Really jumping in summertime, Mina Clavero pretty much empties out for the rest of the year, leaving visitors to explore the limpid streams, rocky waterfalls, numerous swimming holes and idyllic mountain landscapes at their own pace.

Mina Clavero is 170km southwest of Córdoba via RN 20, the splendid Nuevo Camino de las Altas Cumbres (Highway of the High Peaks). It sits at the confluence of Río de Los Sauces and Río Panaholma, in the Valle de Traslasierra.

The Río Mina Clavero splits the town in two – if you arrive at the bus terminal and are headed for Residencial El Parral or La Casa de Pipa, take the pedestrian bridge across the river – from there it’s only a couple of blocks to the former and a short taxi ride to the latter. Otherwise you have to go the long way around.

The tourist office (470171; www.minaclavero.gov.ar in Spanish; Av San Martín 1464; 7am-midnight Dec-Mar, 9am-9pm Apr-Nov) has standard brochures and a useful map of town.
