Argentina spotlights Quebrada and Villa Cañás as winter tourism destinations

The Quebrada area near Catamarca’s capital is being promoted by the Los Puestos agency for an interpretive hiking experience that blends nature, local history and native gastronomy. The 10‑km, low‑difficulty walk runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, starting at 14:30 from Pueblo Perdido. Participants learn about regional flora, fauna and geology, ending with a tasting of Catamarca’s traditional foods. The tour costs AR$35,000 for non‑resident tourists and AR$20,000 for local residents, with discounts for families.

In Santa Fe’s southern province, the town of Villa Cañás—known as the birthplace of TV presenter Mirtha Legrand—is highlighted for its tranquil lake, fishing, open‑air grilling and outdoor recreation. The lake area serves as a gathering point for families and friends who can enjoy barbecues, cycling, picnics and local cuisine. Accommodation options include the historic Hotel Colón, Hotel La Piamontesa and various rental apartments, catering to visitors seeking a relaxed winter getaway.
