Cordoba Audio Tours

Córdoba, nestled in the foothills of the Sierras Chicas, has a rich historical tapestry that dates back to its founding on July 6, 1573 by Spanish conquistador Jerónimo Luis de Cabrera. This vibrant city was named after its Spanish counterpart and has since evolved into a cultural and educational hub of Argentina.

The Spanish crown aimed to expand its foothold in South America, leading to the establishment of settlements. Cabrera was tasked with founding a settlement in the Punilla Valley. The indigenous people, the Comechingones, initially inhabited the area where Cabrera and his expedition of 48 men would make their mark. The settlement's first location had to be moved across the Suquía River in 1577 due to hostile encounters with native tribes.
