Sit back and take a load off weary backpacker, this is Easter weekend. That means all the great vacationing is going on right now. Get out of the city and into - wait, Cordoba! Everyone's favorite travel getaway for Easter are the towns only a few hours away, just like cordoba. It's a great time to enjoy the laid back atmosphere of one of Argentina's most beautiful cities. Estancias, parillas and pick up games of soccer abound. Enjoy the sun and relax in goregous Cordoba!

Cordoba has amazing sites and sounds for the eager backpacker. When you're traveling to Cordoba on your backpacking trip to Argentina, take the opportunity to do some camping. Cordoba has some great hostels to choose from, but you can also enjoy the summer nights by going with a tent and backpack!

Do you need a hostel in South America? Well, my favorite hosteling network is MiniHostels. You can access their site by going to www.MiniHostels.com.
