La Cumbrecita is in Córdoba, a province in

Argentina. There is a river and you can relax
and sunbathe there. The river is calm and there
aren’t any waves. You can’t surf. Children can
play in the river and adults can sit on the rocks.
It is more peaceful than the city. It is a small town full of trees. Many
tourists visit La Cumbrecita every summer. There are a lot of hotels and
cabins for tourists. And there are lots of attractions like a museum about
minerals, walking tours to the hills and a lot of places in the river to stop
and enjoy the day. You can go by car to visit the different places.
