“Beyond the benefits of water, the possibility that the river gives to plunge into pots and waterfalls that are absolutely exuberant with landscapes and beauties, with absolutely crystal clear waters, is an overflowing experience”he continued.
As in so many other places in Traslasierra, Jose Manuel del Rosario Brocherothe “gaucho priest” and country’s first saintleft its mark on the lares when, towards the end of the 19th century, it created a house of spiritual exercises as part of his evangelizing task. Personalities of the ruling elite and of the Buenos Aires society who came to ‘heal the soul’.
The gaucho priest advised Anastasia Fabre de Merlo, “spiritual founder” of Mina Clavero, open her large mansion to accommodate visitors. A fact that is considered birth of the town’s tourist historywhich was followed by the opening of hotels by the most important families of the place in the 30s.
At the same time, a private enterprise that was later bought by President Juan Domingo Perón and ended up being the hotel for the employees of the city government: the mountain residence IMOS hotelnear the spa Eagle’s Nest and with more than 3,150 rooms.
The pure waters of the river Clavero Mine were compared for a long time, in that incipient time of the beginning of the tourist activity, with the water of Evan, Francefor its mineral properties.
Currently, Clavero Mine account in high season with 11,800 hotel bedsregistering the summer a occupancy record “as has not happened to us for 15 years”Panella stressed. He also explained that “in January the average occupancy was 88%while in February it was 90%“.
Already in March, with fewer places available -8,000- the average occupancy ranged between 20% and 25%, “But the month ended with full occupation by the Altas Cumbres Mountain Bike Experience, which is in its 11th edition; the second year of mountain running; and the first year of swimming in Lake Lavigna”described the Secretary of Tourism and Culture.
Likewise, Mina Clavero was named as the National Capital of the Rally in honor of Jorge Raúl Recalde, the only driver from all of the Americas to win a date for the world championship. With his name was also baptized a museum and the section that connects route E 34 with Mina Claverolike the avenue of land leading to Path of the Artisanswhere also runs the Rally Argentina.
But if something identifies this town, the most important in Traslasierra, it is the mountain. Contains the fresh water reserve that feeds the entire provinceand where the rally, mountain bike and running competitions take place, and in which they can be covered multiple trails of low, medium and high difficulty.
“Also in the mountains, people do abseiling, zip line, paraglidingplus the condor flies, the largest bird in Americawhich can be seen a few meters away if you climb to the Gaucho Noel Reserve -the first guide that the province of Córdoba-, 19 kilometers along the route of the Altas Cumbres, the E 34″Panella explained.
The mountain range of the Big Sawswhich has its maximum altitude at Champaqui Hillof 2,884 meters, has on its slopes a series of towns such as Brochero, Nono, Las Rabonas, stoves; until declining towards the south to end in Merlo, Saint Louis. To the west is the mountain range of the Sierras de Pocho or Guasapampabehind which is the San Juan Valley and La Rioja.
“We are at 140 kilometers from the city of Córdoba and 60 kilometers from the border with San Luis, in a very nice tour going through the Coastal Roadwhich is so called because it coasts or borders the mountain, and if one goes west and makes the Path of the Tunnelssee the whole valley from San Juan and La Rioja”Panella specified.
The conversion of Córdoba airport into a air hubwhich connects it with the entire country and foreign destinations, facilitated the arrival in Traslasierra, where the 90% of people live from tourism directly or indirectlyas well as the work of the ring road which connects the output quickly.
In addition to the combis which, every 10 minutes depart from the Córdoba terminal, arrive in the area several direct bus services from Buenos Airesthe largest issuer of tourists, with regular service of sleeping cars that take 12 hours from the Retiro terminal.
