La Falda

La Falda is a town nestled in Argentina's Punilla Valley at roughly 950 meters elevation, positioned between two mountain peaks. The town spreads through the valley with shops, lodges, and public spaces that form its core.

The town grew in the late 1800s as a health resort when the Eden Hotel was built and began attracting guests from around the world. This hotel shaped its early identity and made it a sought-after destination.

The main Avenue Eden serves as where the town comes together for regional festivals and celebrations. You can see how people gather here and experience the rhythm of local social life.

The town is easy to reach by bus from Córdoba, roughly 80 kilometers away, with several lodging options available. The warmest months offer the best conditions for visiting and enjoying outdoor activities.

A natural waterfall system called Seven Cascades sits near the edge of town with multiple stepped drops. Alongside this natural feature stands a public swimming pool area that becomes a local gathering spot during warm months.
