* Sights and attractions in Villa Alpina *
That the natural landscape of Villa Alpina is synonym with paradise, that its luxuriant pines skirted by Los Reartes River turns it into a magical site is not new. For those who ignore the existence of such unbelievable place, it may be important to mention that this is the starting place for climbing Champaquí Hill. Dense vegetation, inhospitable spots, a river full of trouts running at the foot of a giant rocky mount cutting the horizon into two; that is how Villa Alpine´s beauties could be summarized. Villa Alpine is set in a natural reserve. Even though its population does not exceed the 80 people, it offers an important hotel infrastructure as cottages and hostels, all equipped with the necessary to face winter´s low temperatures and to provide the cozy rest after a hard climbing to Champaquí Hill. Practicing trout sport fishing, trekking, horseback rides by the river and around the outskirts, taking photographs to perpetuate the unforgettable moments, climbing the majestic rocky mass standing defiantly in front of us are just a bunch of the innumerable activities at hand. Having the chance of enjoying such an incredible place located 40 km from Villa General Belgrano thorough a mountainous sinuous road and escorted by conifers and springs is an opportunity nobody should get away with. To discover the beauties of Villa Alpine, it is not necessary to arrive to that site itself. The entire road to it displays incredibly picturesque scenes and magical spots on both sides of the road.
***** Stealth mode is mandatory! for search, for sign the logbook and for keep the GeoCache unreachable for geomuggles and thieves! *****
Please, once you found the cache, sign its log book and then leave the cache exactly as you found it and well hidden. Moreover, please don't forget to log your visit here asayc. Finally, be very careful when you take or put the cache, because it can easily fall down to the ground.... and I bet you'll not be able to recover it.
What are the rules in Geocaching?
1. If you take something from the cache, leave something of equal or greater value.
2. Write about your find in the cache logbook.
3. Log your experience at www.geocaching.com.
(P.S.: is much better if you find a geomuggles-free moment to pick the cache, because in Argentina the Geocaching is not yet a game as popular as it is in other countries. Even worst, people use to steal things with no value for them (like caches) just for fun. So, you have to pick the cache as quick as you can and later leave the cache the same way, always trying to pass unnoticed. Moreover, beware of the geomuggles, because they aren't neccesarily harmless).

We travel to Cordoba every three months. That's why we're able to do the maintainance of the cache.
