About Córdoba

Argentina's second city, Córdoba is a university town whose Jesuit Block forms a UNESCO listing. The Manzana Jesuítica and the city's churches sit steps from the shopping streets, above the Suquía river. To the west, the Sierras de Córdoba begin near the edge of town, with Villa Carlos Paz and La Cumbrecita among the hill towns. Spring and autumn are mild and lively; summer is hot and busiest, and winter is cool with clear, dry days.
