Where the mountain landscape is on man's scale...
Where past and present complement...
Lying on the east slope of the Sierras Chicas, the area offers a synthesis of
the most distinguishing aspects of the tourist proposal
in Córdoba: a mountain landscape and gentle undulations, the presence
of water in numerous rivers and streams, a typical mountain forest with
the presence of species from the Chaco forest in the plains.

testimonies from the colonial past (Capilla de Candonga, the Jesuit Ranch of Jesús María
and the house of Caroya) and from the Italian colonisation (in Colonia Caroya, famous for its sausages
and its traditional Italian cuisine). All this is in an area where different
towns retain the memory of each of the stages in Córdoba's tourist development.
The natural hydric reserve "La Quebrada" in Río Ceballos, the Festival Nacional
de Doma y Folklore in Jesús María and the Campeonato de Golf del Centro de la
República in Villa Allende are the main attractions that contribute
to the uniqueness of the area, in conjunction with the infrastructure
and services for the tourist found in Jesús María, Ascochinga, La Granja, Agua de
Oro, Salsipuedes, Unquillo, Mendiolaza.
Aged woods along roads, streams, cities and small towns together with the Sierras Chicas in
the background are the framework of this area for different activities
