Waterfalls of Punilla

The Punilla Valley in the Sierras de Córdoba contains a high concentration of waterfalls formed by the region’s rugged granite topography. This selection includes the 115-meter Cascada los Chorrillos in Tanti, one of the tallest in the province, and high-altitude cascades along the Altas Cumbres road. These sites feature deep natural pools, or 'ollas,' carved into the rock by the Mallín and Calabalumba rivers, accessible via hiking trails through native forest and mountain scrub.
