La Cumbrecita is a small mountain village at 1,450 metres in the Calamuchita valley of Córdoba's Sierras Grandes, founded on 9 September 1934 when the Cabjolsky family bought 500 hectares of land here. It is known as Argentina's first pedestrian village: cars do not enter, so visitors leave them in a car park at the entrance and walk. Its houses are in a European mountain style with steep roofs and flowering gardens, among woods of pine and other trees, bordered by the Medio river. Short trails lead from the village to a small waterfall, river pools and valley viewpoints, and in summer people swim in the natural pools. Walking the village is free; a fee is charged for the car or car park, depending on vehicle and season. It lies about 40 kilometres west of Villa General Belgrano on a paved road. It gets busy in summer holidays and at weekends, so go early.
