Discover La Cumbre

La Cumbre brings together different ways to enjoy a stay: an unpaved road lined with artisan workshops and organic farms, wooded areas along the Río San Jerónimo, a marked climb with panoramic views, and places where the town’s history comes to life. You can shape your trip around whether you’d rather spend time outdoors, discover local goods, or explore the area’s culture and past.

Trails, crafts and water

The Camino de los Artesanos connects La Cumbre with Villa Giardino. The 9 km route follows an unpaved road and can only be travelled by car or bicycle. This is an important distinction from a trail you could walk: plan to take this route only if you’re travelling by car or bicycle. Along the Camino, artisan workshops and organic farms display handmade goods, including ceramics, woodwork, basketry, costume jewellery, metalwork, wool crafts, textiles and semi-precious stone pieces. Sweets, cured meats, liqueurs and homemade preserves are also available.

The Río San Jerónimo runs through La Cumbre and has wooded areas where you can enjoy meals outdoors. Another place to enjoy the water is Balneario El Chorrito, with two large pools built in the natural riverbed and a mineral water spring. The pools and spring give this spot a different character from the wooded areas along the river. If you’re interested in making water a part of your trip, you can plan around these two distinct experiences.

Views and outdoor activities

The climb to Cristo Redentor follows a well-marked 600-metre ascent. At the top, you’ll find panoramic views of La Cumbre and the western part of the Sierras Chicas. This makes the viewpoint a clear choice if you’d like to combine a hike with views over the town. The length of the climb is a factor to consider when planning your day; it should not be confused with the 9 km Camino de los Artesanos.

Horseback riding is also one of the experiences on offer in La Cumbre. Routes include trails along the banks of the Río Pinto. There are several ways to enjoy the outdoors: a marked climb to Cristo Redentor, a drive along the Camino de los Artesanos, or a horseback ride by the Río Pinto. If you’re planning a family trip, you can choose together which of these different activities best suits your preferences.

Local history and culture

Since July 1987, visitors to Casa Museo Manuel Mujica Lainez have been able to see it as it looked during the writer’s lifetime. It is in the Cruz Chica neighbourhood, about three kilometres from the centre of La Cumbre. The property includes a Spanish-style façade and gardens. Its distance from the centre is a useful point of reference when deciding whether to include the museum in your plans.

Museo de Historia y Patrimonio de La Cumbre offers another window into the past. Its exhibits include the town’s first cinema projector, which was coal-powered, and historical photographs. Older architectural history can also be found along today’s Avenida Caraffa: between Rivadavia and Belgrano, buildings retain façades that are more than a century old. Together, these places offer different ways to explore cultural history—from a writer’s personal surroundings and early cinema technology to historical photographs and old façades.

Which holiday rental is right for your stay?

When looking for a holiday rental in La Cumbre, it’s worth first considering which experiences interest you most. The Camino de los Artesanos is a highlight for crafts and regional goods, while the climb to Cristo Redentor offers a viewpoint. Places to enjoy the water, horseback rides and cultural history each offer a different focus.
