Córdoba is the capital of the province of the same name, located in
Argentina, South America, and the second city in population and
importance. It is the head of the Capital department and the only
municipality in this department. It is in the middle –west of the
province, by the Suquía River.

This city has an important cultural background, and was designated
American Capital of Culture in 2006. It has been part of very important
historical facts, as the University Reform in 1918, and the “Cordobazo”, in
1969. It is called “La Docta” for its ancient and famous university which
prepared and educated many important personalities of this country.
In 2005 it had the highest percentage of university students in Latin
America, according to its population: 12 %, one of the highest rates in the
world.

Córdoba offers the world and specially tourists its imponent landscapes,
and special places full of surprises. One of the ways to get there is
through its International Airport called Pajas Blancas.
Along its streets and avenues you can see modern buildings and old
“colonial” arquitecture combined with charming green areas such as the
Sarmiento Park, designed in the 19th century.

Córdoba is also an important industrial center, where metallurgy has a
great development, such as the Fábrica Militar de Aviones, and car
industries like Renault, Fiat and Volks Wagen. Many other industries
established in Córdoba, such as Motorola, Intel, EDS, together with a
hundred more of them, became part of the Technological Cluster Córdoba,
and it is known as the argentine Silicon Valley.

Among other attractions, tourists can visit the San Martin`s Square, the
centennial Cathedral, the “historical” Cabildo, the Trejo House and many
other museums.

A few kilometers away, outside Córdoba, you can enjoy different sports :
waterskiing, trekking, or special activities such as travelling by 4x4,
mountain bike or parashooting, in one of Argentina´s most beautiful
places.

At night, the city wakes up, and you can enjoy shows in many theaters,
for the whole family, with its multiple artistic places and discos.
Córdoba is a city to feel and enjoy…
