This time we bring you the news of a place where only a few people arrive. Because it is a unique treasure of the mountains of Cordoba: Pueblo Escondido.

Pueblo Escondido

It is an earthly paradise that requires the journey of a road in the middle of the Sierras. His name, “Pueblo Escondido,” says it all. This place is a hamlet located south-west of the Calamuchita Valley. At the foot of Cerro Áspero is this hidden point that invites us to visit it.

This getaway is the favorite for lovers of adventure tourism, since it requires crossing a winding and dangerous path. Visitors' favorite activity is to arrive on trekking. Others, fans of adrenaline and extreme sports, prefer to do it by motorcycle or practicing mountain biking. This destination gives travelers the opportunity to feel free, as it proposes them to choose from thousands of options. From  how to get there, to where to sleep. It's a destination for adventurous spirits. A spectacle worthy to admire, but that takes your effort.

Located at the foot of Cerro Áspero in the Sierra de los Comechingones “Pueblo Escondido”, as they baptized it, hides  thousands of legends. That is why it is increasingly popular among the tourist audience and the curious. This hamlet, now abandoned, constituted a mining camp. Around 500 inhabitants were accommodated there in times of greatest activity. All of them worked exploiting the mines around. The times of greatest mining production, in which Cerro was the protagonist, were between 1895 and 1969.  

How do I get there if it's hidden?  

First thing first: choose the means of transport. The crossing can be done by walking, mountain biking, horseback riding, enduro motorbike, ATV or 4x4 van. With other types of vehicles it becomes impossible as it is a road of high difficulty,  with dirt and stones. All these options are advisable to do them with a tour guide to facilitate the journey. But if you prefer to have your own adventure, just ask in the nearby villages, as it is a path that all locals know.  

The landscape

Once you get to the place, two hanging bridges welcome you. You can tour some houses that are open and take incredible views of a unique phenomenon. The ruins of a mining town on which history and activity can be breathed. The perfect combination between nature and the vestiges of a civilization.  

To crown  the beautiful landscape  that Pueblo Escondido gives us, there is a river that on its banks allows us to rest from the route. This place is surrounded by unmissable natural attractions. And it also has a small restaurant that is designed to welcome visitors.
