| Playa de los Hippies. Cuesta Blanca |
After a thorough look around the city of Córdoba we were looking forward to exploring some of the surrounding area. We were forced to select a few places from a seemingly endless supply of interesting options that were available. Our first pick was Cuesta Blanca via Carlos Paz. The town is nice enough but didn´t grab our attention for long. Instead we headed out in search of a place known as Hippie Beach. We followed our guide, which was a stray dog that at some point had volunteered herself to lead us up the winding village roads to the trail head. Soon we were smack dab in the middle of the Sierras and we began choosing our steps more carefully. The usual mountain trail hazards were present but we were keeping our eyes peeled for pit vipers and rattlesnakes that also call the mountain range their home. With the assistance of our K-9 escort we arrived at the beach without incident. We can also verify that there is at least one real hippie that resides there.

| La Cumbrecita |
La Cumbrecita is an isolated hamlet in the heart of the Grand Sierras of Córdoba. It was founded by a crew from Germany and continues to be a German commune that promotes eco-tourism. "The Pedestrian Town" forces visitors to park their vehicles in a lot before the entrance and to walk the stone pathways.

| La Cascada Grande |
We spent the day walking the trails, touring an activity park and relaxing by one of the many streams. After concluding our tour we sat down to the "super plato aleman" for two, which was an abundance of delicious traditional German cuisine. Of course we washed it down with the local micro brew called Brau.

| Dique Los Molinos |
Our trip to Villa General Belgrano took us past Los Molinos Dam. It was a scenic trip on a nice section of road that skirts a portion of the beautiful lake. We remained wide awake after our driver attempted a suicide pass and forced an oncoming vehicle off the road.
