La Cumbrecita is a small picturesque secluded alpine-like hamlet amongst spruce and pine at 1450 mts. above sea level where is not unusual to see a blanket of snow in winter time in the Province of Córdoba, Argentina. Settled by central Europeans, focused on eco-tourism, no paved roads and cars are not allowed, transport on foot, quite possibly reminiscent of towns in the 15th century, a paradisiacal experience. A 30km pebbled road, up trough starling views of the Sierra Grandes will take you to La Cumbrecita, Teahouses specialize in Apfelstrudel and Chocolate cake. Alpine-style hotels, lodgings and cabins available, with permission you may camp anywhere.

Excursions to La Cumbrecita can be taken from nearby Villa General Belgrano.
