Córdoba Province lies in the centre of Argentina, in South America. It is the country's second most populous province, after Buenos Aires, and it has a character of its own, shaped by its colonial past and by the Jesuit heritage that remains visible in its landscape.
What a visit offers
The province is known for its colonial architecture, and many visitors come to walk through towns where older buildings still define the streets and squares. The Jesuit heritage sites are the other main draw. They give the province a distinctive historical thread, and they make a good reason to plan a trip around history rather than only scenery or city life.
Planning your trip
- Who it suits: travellers interested in colonial towns, religious and mission history, and architecture.
- Pace: a visit works well at a relaxed speed, with time to move between sites and to see the towns on foot.
- Setting: as a central province, it gives a useful base for exploring the wider region of Argentina.
Because the province is large and varied, it is worth deciding in advance which towns and heritage sites matter most to you, so that your time is spent where your interests lie.
