Getting There -- The bus station is on General Juan José Valle 50, in the town center. Frequent buses travel from Córdoba. La Calera (tel. 351/452-300) and TranSierras (tel. 351/424-3810) are two companies worth investigating. It costs about $4 (£2.20) and takes around 2 hours. El Práctico (tel. 011/4312-9551) and General Urquiza (tel. 011/4313-2771) are two companies that come from Buenos Aires, a 12-hour trip.
If you are driving, you have the option of going first to Villa Carlos Paz and then on to La Falda via the N38. Other towns you'll pass are Huerta Grande and then Villa Giardino. This is a pleasant trip through the valley, but beware of flash floods in the summer.
Visitor Information -- The tourist office is inside the old train station at Av. Caraffa 300 (tel. 3548/452-966). Open daily from 7am to midnight, it provides city and regional maps as well as hotel, restaurant, and tourist information. A respected agency specializing in outdoor pursuits in the area is Sendas Travel, Calle Dumas 110, La Cumbre (tel. 3548/532-177; www.sendastravel.com).
Getting Around -- You can easily walk around the small town center but you may soon get bored. Most of La Cumbre's attractions are outside the town, usually up a dirt track, so it is advisable to rent a car or sign up with a tour operator. There is no public transport going east or west.
