Reserva Natural Chancaní, Volcanes de Pocho y Túneles de Taninga

Córdoba

Pampa de Pocho hides some amazing and little-known postcards of Córdoba: the unique Pocho volcanoes, Chancaní Nature Reserve and the Taninga Tunnels, a scenic route with great views of the Mermela Ravine and Los Llanos in La Rioja. 

It can be visited all year round. In January and February temperatures are very high.

A unique postcard amidst mountains and creeks: five inactive volcanoes and a huge field of caranday palm trees
