Sierras de San Luis

Northeast of the city of San Luis, there's a beautiful range of hills which remains little known to travellers, and where there are just two frequently visited resorts, the small town of El Trapiche and the reservoir in La Florida. The rest of this vast hilly region is sparsely inhabited, with quiet villages which maintain old rural traditions and a simple way of life. The eastern edge of the sierras and the upper valleys and high pampas around Carolina can be visited by taking Route 9 north from San Luis. Regular buses go up to Carolina and Intihuasi.
