Punilla Valley Essentials

The Punilla Valley features a diverse landscape ranging from the 1,979-meter summit of Cerro Uritorco to the engineering of the San Roque Dam. This region serves as the cultural center for Argentine folk music at Cosquín’s Plaza Próspero Molina and preserves literary history at the former residence of Manuel Mujica Laínez. Natural highlights include the Cascada de Olaen and the Cuchi Corral viewpoint, while the Bosque Alegre Observatory provides clear views of the southern sky from the Sierras Chicas.
