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!!
