Southern Tucumán

The South offers a perfect blend of cities where culture, Tucumán's unique character, and stunning natural and landscape attractions come alive.

A journey through southern Tucumán should include the Jesuit Ruins of San José de Lules, a remnant of the Spanish conquest era, and experience the authenticity of Famaillá, the well-known national capital of the empanada, which invites you to try this delicious dish that defines us across the country.

A southern Tucumán itinerary should include an evening of music in Monteros, the Folklore Fortress, where you can take a Randa as a souvenir and visit one of the most important cultural sites of Tucumán, the Simoca Fair. There, you can taste sausages and typical dishes like the “wedding cake,” plus enjoy a ride in a Sulky (a type of cart) through the main square.

The South invites you to visit Concepción, a gateway to experience nature's full splendor in Aconquija National Park, where you'll be amazed by the ruins of Ciudacita, archaeological remnants of great value.

Traveling through the South also lets you enjoy the lively carnivals in the colorful corridor of Aguilares; explore the waters of the impressive Escaba Dam; visit the historic tunnels of Rumi Punco, and cool off at the Los Pizarro waterfall, a hidden gem in La Cocha.
