In 1966, 25 years after the visit of the former North American president, Kennedy’s widow visited Ascochinga accompanied by her children and stayed 9 days. The woman wanted to remember her husband’s trip to Argentina in 1941who had gone when he was 24 with friends.
Thus, in the mid-1960s, Jackie traveled to this town in Córdoba. He stayed in a 17th century room property of the Cárcano, a family of Argentine diplomats, who Kennedy had met during his stay.
