Active Pursuits

A number of tour and adventure companies offer excursions into the Sierras de Córdoba, where it is possible to mountain climb, hike, mountain bike, horseback ride, hang glide, and fish. Try Estación Uno (tel. 354/349-2924) or Explorando Sierras de Córdoba (tel. 354/343-7901), both of which offer discovery tours into the mountains, bird-watching, horse riding, and overnight camping trips.

Golf is big in Córdoba. Six world-class 18-hole courses are scattered around the city, and an additional two are a half-hour-drive away. The Jockey Club and the Córdoba Golf Club are the most popular. Log on to www.golfencordoba.com for detailed information. The site is available in both English and Spanish.
