Casita Colanchanga, Rio Ceballos

The Casita is located 40 km north of Cordoba, in a Natural Preserve outside of Rio Ceballos. It is 25 minutes from the Cordoba Airport, and within walking distance to a lake and many trails. You’ll love the natural beauty and tranquility of the outdoors space as well as the charming and comfortable casita. It is perfect for relaxing on the patio, and for hiking and swimming in a natural setting. Experience life in Argentina as the locals live it, away from the typical tourist attractions. The space Despite it's traditional look, the casita has modern bathroom and kitchen facilities. It is a 10 minute drive, or a 25 minute walk from Rio Ceballos. On the way to or from town you pass the lake and the dam, Dique La Quebrada. In the summer months you can swim in the lake, surrounded by the Sierras Chicas of Cordoba. You can also hike to three waterfalls, and spend the day with a picnic lunch. Otherwise, your patio is perfect for resting and relaxing. Buses run frequently to the city of Cordoba, and you can also take several one-day trips to neighboring towns with various points of interest. For people interested in antique motorcycles: My husband Vladimir restores and collects antique motorcycles, specializing in Argentine bikes (see photos). He will give you a guided tour of the museum that he’s preparing on the ground floor of our house, right next to the casita. For people interested in modern architecture: Our house is a total contrast with the casita (see photos). The casita is a cozy and charming wood and brick structure with traditional trimmings. Our house, on the other hand, is a concrete building in the Brutalist-Minimalist style. Designed by Cordoba architect Miguel Angel Roca, it is a striking structure that has appeared in architectural magazines and books. We are happy to give you a tour of the house. Guest access You have access to the 7 hectares on our land that has various spots for sitting and enjoying the spectacular views. In the warmer months, you can enjoy a natural pool within 5 minutes walking inside our land. Other things to note We can have available the following services at an additional cost: transportation from the airport, or from town; a typical Argentine asado, for foreign tourists; guided hikes and visits to nearby attractions; horseback riding. As well, cooking lessons and English and Spanish lessons can be arranged.
