Hiking to the Cascadas

On Sunday, we decided to go on another day trip from Cordoba, also recommended by a girl at the hostel. We hiked to a small town which had a national park called Parque La Quebrada. There was supposedly a nice waterfall somewhere around there. Eventually we found our way, the hike was beautiful. We hiked along the road, through some people´s yards, through the woods and along the creek until we came upon the waterfall or las cascadas. Along the way, we encountered wild horses, donkeys and cows. There were lots of Argentinian families & couples swimming in the pools of water and waterfalls. When they would hear us talking they would ask us where we were from. Most were surprised and asked us how we found this place, which was kind of cool because it was not full of tourists but a local spot that you can´t find with your Lonely Planet. And in my opinion, those are the best kind.

A pre-hike snack. Look Mom, I´m eating bife!
