Córdoba City and Capilla del Monte in northern Argentina | Recorriendo Ciudad de Córdoba y Capilla del Monte, Argentina.

Today I will show you some photos from my traveling in Cordoba, Argentina. In 2014 We made a trip with several friends, starting from Buenos Aires, then we went through Córdoba where we stayed for a few days at my friends house Lali who I met in Vietnam when I was backpacking there in 2013. Nothing better than catching up with those beautiful souls that you met while traveling ... friendships that forge quickly, but last forever.

After a few days in Córdoba Capital we went to the Quebrada del Condorito National Park, one hour outside of the city by bus. In the park we camped for a week ... eating salami, peanuts, different kind of cheeses and breads. In this massive National Park, you can see the majestic Andean condors, the largest non-marine bird on the planet. Luckily the weather always accompanied us and we were able to do several of the walks in the park.

Our next destination in Córdoba was Capilla del Monte and its famous Cerro Uritorco. Full of mystique with all its UFO and paranormal phenomena talk, we could not miss visiting this jewel of the sierras of Cordoba.
It is worth mentioning that Uritorco hill gained world fame in 1986 after one morning some pastures near a hill appeared burnt and some local witnesses declared that a UFO had been there the previous night. Since then this hill attracts people from all over the world who believe in the UFO phenomenon. It has become a tourist route and many commercial stores use extraterrestrials like dummies and such ... making the mystique lose credibility.
Of course that we did not see any UFOs or feel any strange energy ... but the views from the top of the hill are beautiful and our visit to Capilla del Monte really was worth it.

We stayed at a campsite at the bottom of the hill and there we became friends with a street dog ​​that we called Suki. What a faithful friend we made! The week that we were camping there he accompanied us everywhere, even climbed the hill with us, which is a hike of medium difficulty. The photo from the top of the hill with Suki´s happy face is my favorite of this trip.

Well... I hope that you like the pictures. Thank you so much for reading and supporting :) Greetings from Uruguay!

Hoy les traigo algunas fotos de cuando estuve viajando por Córdoba, Argentina. En el 2014 Hicimos un viaje con varios amigos, empezando desde Buenos Aires, luego seguimos por Córdoba donde nos quedamos unos cuantos días en la casa de mi amiga Lali, que la había conocido en Vietnam. Nada mas lindo que volver a encontrarte con esas hermosas almas que conocemos al viajar... amistades que se forjan rápidamente, pero que duran para siempre.

Después de unos días en la capital cordobesa nos fuimos al Parque Nacional Quebrada del Condorito, a una hora a las afueras de la ciudad. En el parque nos quedamos una semana acampando... comiendo picadas de salame, salamín, maní, diferentes quesos y pan (criollitos). En éste gran parque, se pueden ver los majestuosos cóndores andinos, el ave no marina de mayor envergadura del planeta. Por suerte el clima siempre nos acompañó y pudimos hacer varias de las caminatas del parque.

El siguiente destino cordobés fué Capilla del Monte y su famoso Cerro Uritorco. Lleno de mística con todas sus hustorias de ovnis y fenómenos paranormales, no podíamos quedarnos sin visitar esta joya de las sierras de Córdoba.
Vale aclarar que en el cerro Uritorco, en 1986 alcanzó la fama mundial al una mañana amanecer con una enorme mancha de pasturas quemadas provocada, según testigos locales. por una enorme y desconocida nave.
Desde entonces éste cerro atrae a gente de todo el mundo que cree en el fenómeno ovni. Se ha convertido en un recorrido turístico y muchas tiendas comerciales usan extraterrestres como maniquíes y tal... haciendo que la mística pierda credibilidad.
Como paréntesis, nosotros no vimos ningún ovni ni sentimos ninguna energía rara... pero las vistas desde arriba del cerro son hermosas y nuestra visita a Capilla del Monte realmente valió la pena.

Nos quedamos en un camping a los pies del cerro y ahí nos hicimos amigo de un perro callejero a quien llamamos Suki. Que fiel amigo nos hicimos! La semana que estuvimos acampando ahí nos acompañó a todos lados, incluso trepó el cerro con nosotros, que es una caminata de dificultad media. La fotos desde la cima del cerro con la cara de contento de Suki es de mis favoritas de éste viaje.

Bueno... espero que les haya gustado el relato, y que les gusten las fotos también.

Muchísimas gracias por pasar a leer y por el apoyo de siempre. Saludos desde Uruguay!
