BIRDS EYE VIEW


 During my training days as a pilot, I would fly over Alta Gracia trying to locate my house. A little difficult at 2500 feet. I decided to paint the word PILOT on my roof, so that I would be able to spot my house. Today, it's a mission for beginning pilots from the Flying Parrot flight school to do a fly over and identify my house.

Paso de Garay/Quebrada de Yatan

 A hike in the Sierras with guides Walter and Juan from Huella Serrano. This hike is highly recommended for the serious minded hiker who enjoys a challenge. The hike is approximately 10 hours, a steep climb that leads to incredible valleys, a stop at the Paso de Garay (full of history) followed by the majestic view of the Pampa de Achala. The final destination is the impressive Quebrada de Yatan, a refuge for condors, and home to one of the highest waterfalls in the Province of Cordoba.

CUBA LIBRE!


 Nacida en los Estados Unidos de madre Cubana y muy orgullosa de mi herencia, estoy detrás del pueblo Cubano que lucha por la libertad. Es hora de acabar con el comunismo y llevar la democracia a Cuba y su pueblo. DON'T GIVE UP!

PLAN b. ALMACÉN


In life, one must always have a Plan b.  279 BOUTIQUE BED+BREAKFAST proudly announces the opening of  PLAN b. ALMACÉN, Alta Gracia's first shabby chic country store/coffee/wine bar ... from the garage! The latest trend in Alta Gracia. Dozens of homes have opened their garage doors to makeshift businesses because of the pandemic. I've joined the band wagon!
