It
lies between the Pampa de Achala and the
Sierra de Comechingones (with the Cerro
Champaqui as the maximum height peak: 2,994
m.) to the east and the western plains; it occupies
the lower part of the territory of the region. The
Sierras Grandes, the Pampa de Achala,
the El Condorito National Park, add the experience
of nature at its best, creating a great attraction
for Ecotourism as well as trekking and mountaineering.
The area is criss-crossed by countless streams running
down from the hilly ranges and forming the Mina
Clavero, Rugapampa, Panaholma and Nono rivers
which join together to form the Los Sauces River,
a wide sandy fast-flowing river which flows into
the La Viña Dam; the latter stands
out due to its containment dam (built between 1939
and 1944), which is 102 metres high, the highest
in the country. Fishing and several water sports
are practiced in this mirror of water, as well as
along all the rivers, due to their natural features:
clear water and sandy beds.
The small-scale towns and villages located in the
area offer a significant level of equipment, infrastructure
and services so as to provide the tourist with an
excellent stay.
Both Nature and cordiality are to be found in the
essence of identity of the Traslasierra Valley,
which has already become a first level destination
within Cordoba's tourist offer.
