Itinerary
We will pick you up at your hotel starting at 9 AM or 2:30 PM, depending on the option you choose. We will leave Cordoba through the provincial route n° 5 and pass the monument of Miryam Stefford while we are heading to Alta Gracia.
The first point to visit is El Tajamar: a symbol of Alta Gracia, the oldest artificial dam in the province. Here, you will have a time of 15 minutes.
Then, we will visit the Viceroy Liniers Museum located in the important building of the old Jesuit Estancia Alta Gracia which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We will be there for about 45 minutes and we will enter the church of Our Lady of Mercy and we will also walk through its courtyards and rooms.
Then we will go to the famous Casa del Che, a house where the Guevara family stayed and which pays homage to Ernesto during his time in the city. In this place, we will be able to enter and know its history.
The next stop is the Manuel de Falla Museum: dedicated to the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla and inaugurated on November 14, 1970. In its rooms are exhibited personal objects, books, furniture, clothing, photographs and correspondence.
Finally, after 4 hours with a lot of history, we will return to the center of Córdoba to drop you off at your downtown hotel.
