As the second largest city in Argentina, Cordoba has delighted travelers to South America for centuries with its staggering colonial architecture and close proximity to the Andes. |
| Cordoba's Cathedral |
700km north-west of Argentina's capital of Buenos Aires, Cordoba is home to two million people and features some of the country's best preserved colonial buildings. Survey the 17th century buildings of the Jesuit Block or take a stroll in the San Martin Park, at the centre of Cordoba.
In 2006, Cordoba was named Cultural Capital of the Americas, so you can be certain that a host of cultural attractions adorn the city - from its seven universities to its eclectic art galleries. What's more, Cordoba's central location provides an ideal base in Argentina if you're planning to spend your vacation trekking through the Andes or exploring the wonders of the Pampas.
