RACO

In this case it is a quiet place, of a remarkable natural beauty, which rises 3,609 ft. (1,100 m) above sea level, only 34 miles (55 km) way from San Miguel de Tucumán.

Its climate is mild and the permanently cool sierra breeze attracts many visitors all year round.

The Raco Stream and, at a short distance, the Siambón River, are good choices for fishing trout. On the undulating terrain, which is covered with flowers in summer, are cottages and estancias (cattle ranch) enclosed by pircas (stone walls) where delicious cheeses are made.
