Pueblo Escondido is located southwest of the Calamuchita Valley in Córdoba. It was a mining site with a history of war and secrets of the salaried life in the heart of the Sierras de Los Comechingones. This mine work was carried out related to the extraction of tungsten associated with the most sophisticated tools for war: armored vehicles, tanks and cannon shells.
At the end of 1969 the mine was abandoned until 1995, when the facilities were restored to promote adventure tourism, surrounded by the impressive ravines of these beautiful mountains.

We will meet in Córdoba to travel to Merlo and from there to the start of the trail that begins in Córdoba. From there we will begin our trekking between talks, stories and legends.
It will take us a few hours to go down to the hidden town, which will appear as we get closer, the houses will appear, the old site of the tungsten mine. Once there we will have time to have lunch as a well-deserved reward for the effort!
We will continue our way to one of the mouths of the old mine to observe it and have another panoramic view of the town. To finish we will walk to the Salto del Tigre waterfall where we will stay for at least an hour to enjoy the landscape, then begin the return to the vehicles to travel to Córdoba and end the activity.
