This warm and inviting city offers you an ideal environment for cross-cultural immersion in Argentine society. With the Andes to the west, the Chacos to the north, and the wild beauty of Patagonia and the Pampas to the south, Córdoba is a crossroads for intellectual and terrestrial explorers alike.
