Córdoba is once again showing its strength as a destination for long weekends, with offerings for all audiences," stated Darío Capitani, president of the Córdoba Tourism Agency.
Event schedule that drives tourism demand
The high level of reservations expected for the long Carnival weekend is explained, to a large extent, by the extensive schedule of popular festivals, carnivals, and major events that will unfold throughout Córdoba's territory.
During those days, traditional celebrations will take place, such as the Traditional Piemontese Family Festival in Luque, the Beer Pedestrian Street in Bialet Massé, the Carnivals in Villa Santa Rosa, the National Festival of Song and Poetry in Villa de María, the Sommerfest in Villa General Belgrano, the Dolorense Carnivals in Villa Dolores, the celebrations in the Ansenuza region, and gastronomic and cultural offerings in towns such as Las Rabonas, Agua de Oro, Cintra, Charras, Los Hornillos, and San Carlos Minas, among others.
The main attraction of the weekend will be a new edition of Cosquín Rock, which will take place on February 14 and 15 at the Santa María de Punilla airfield, consolidating Córdoba as the epicenter of the country's major musical events and generating a strong impact on hotel occupancy in Punilla and surrounding areas.
With this combination of high reservation levels, projected tourist inflow, and a diverse schedule of events, Córdoba is on track to experience a long Carnival weekend with record occupancy, reinforcing its position as one of the country's most popular destinations for this summer vacation period.
