Alta Gracia

The last town visited before leaving Cordoba is Alta Gracia. As the Villa Carlos Pay and Villa General Belgrano, Alta Gracia is reachable in just about 1hour by bus. The city centre has a small lake and lovely plaza with the church. It has a long history, having been a Jesuit settlement. It has many museums and the house where Che Guevara grown up. The house was even visited by Fidel Castro. Around the city, lots of green where to do some trekking or just relax. Definitely a must visit!

Córdoba

Finally in Córdoba after 18hours and 2 busses taken from Asunción. The city is just beautiful. While the river divides the city in 2 parts, the old town hides squares, churches and monuments just everywhere. The European influence is crystal clear specially watching the insides of the cathedral and the other churches. It's the very first time I'm amazed here in South America at how well the churches are built and maintained. The unexpected hot weather helps a lot too. Being able to walking around let me discovered some little gems that are hidden to the classic touristic route.
