Exploring Córdoba and the
Andean Northwest
The region's eponymous capital Córdoba is a popular
university town, characterized by beautiful old colonial
buildings. Beyond the city, heading west, the roads invariably
zigzag into the Andean foothills and on to the high passes of
the Argentina-Chile border. To the east lie the grassy plains of
Santiago del Estero and to the north, the scrublands of Jujuy
and the tropical jungle in Salta. The scenery while traveling
to quiet villages and towns such as San Salvador de Jujuy,
Cafayate, and Cachi is breathtaking, especially against the
backdrop of the canyons of the Quebrada de Humahuaca.
