Valle Hermoso & La Falda
Your next major stop is the lovely village of La
Falda. At the beginning of the century, this was
a favorite retreat of Buenos Aires' and
Córdoba's most wealthy residents. Its popular-
ity has not diminished in the least. You'll find a
wide range of accommodations, including
camping, should you decide to spend a day or
two. The
Gran Hotel Tomaso Di Savoia
(
0548/423-013) and the
Nor
Tomarza
(
0548/423-036), both on Avenida Eden (the
principal throughfare), are two very lovely four-
star hotels.
Tip
Among La Falda's most outstanding
features are the eucalyptus trees,
brought here from Australia over a cen-
tury ago by then-President Domingo
Faustino Sarmiento.
