Due to Octoberfest in nearby Valle Gen. Belgano, we had to seek lodging outside Cordoba. This was a blessing. We found a wonderful hostel called Anda Mundos Hostel in Mina Clavero, http://www.andamundoshostel.com.ar/
The couple who own the hostel are very sweet, helpful, genuine people. They do all they can to be sure you enjoy your visit to there beautiful town. In addition, they are very knowledgable of sites and surrounding areas. They run a clean calm hostel.
We arrived in M. Clavero on Friday October 9th. Early Sat. morning we caught a bus to Carlos Paz, 2hours away. We had been told we could catch a bus from here to Belgano. Wrong! So we quickly caught a bus to Cordoba (1 hour) Then waited an hour to catch the next bus to Belgano (2 hours). Yes your math is correct, that is 5 hours on buses to get to Octoberfest. It was now 3 pm. Furthermore, in order to catch our bus from Carlos Paz back to Cordoba we needed to leave Belgano right at 6 then get the 8 pm. bus to Carlos Paz. We purchased the 6 pm. tickets and set off in search of cerveza. We soon found the party where we enjoyed beer, sausage, saurkrout, potato salad and dancing. It was a fun three hours. We grabbed some strudel and headed for the bus.
The clock ticks past 6 as we wait for the driver to get the last 3 seats sold. they appearantly would not depart till they had made as much money as possible. They even sold floor space to a couple of guys. So I am freaking out by 6:10 and proceed to tell the driver it is 6 lets go I need to be in Cordoba by 8. He did not care. We ate strudel on the drive as I watched my watch. We arrived in Cordoba at 7:59. I run, carrying one sleeping child the other following close behind, to the 8:00 bus and beg the driver to wait till my husband arrives with the tickets. Meanwhile, Ken has gone the ticket counter to purchase our tickets. Ken arrives, at full sprint, at the bus by 8:02. It was funny to see him running through the bus terminal, but he was not the only one running. We manage to arrive in Carlos Paz with an amazing 15 minutes to spare. Yeah we can pee and get waters, before the 2 hour ride to M.Clavero. No I would not do it again, but it was alot of fun.
