Streams, springs and waterfalls, together with abundant vegetation, give the place a unique beauty. This traslasierra area joins the city of Córdoba through the spectacular high peaks road, which crosses the Achala pampas.

Its main natural attractions are the Panaholma rivers with warm semi-thermal waters with healing qualities and the Mina Clavero with cold waters, which gives rise to many picturesque spas.
