Today we're taking you on a little day trip to a tiny alpine village in the sierras of Cordoba. How tiny, you ask? It has a population of 30!
The town of Villa Alpina, whose name literally translates to Alpine Village, is a small community that can be reached via a winding dirt road 18 kilometres off the main road. The drive is an adventure in and of itself and we made plenty of stops along the way to enjoy the views and try to lure the cows from their pastures with our off-key singing...it didn't really work.
This town is best known as the starting point for hiking Cerro Champaquí, which stands 2,790 metres above sea level and is the highest peak in the province of Cordoba. We didn't come here to hike on this visit (that's another adventure for a future trip), however, we did have a nice day exploring this sleepy mountain town, cooling down in the river, and trying to befriend all the local sheep and goats.
This is a pretty relaxed vlog, but we wanted to share the views with you and give you a taste of the laidback vibe here in the sierras.
