This tourist center is located on the western slope of the Achala summit, the central cordon of the Córdoba mountains. Streams, springs and waterfalls, together with abundant vegetation, give the place a unique beauty. This traslasierra area joins the city of Córdoba through the spectacular high peaks road, which crosses the Achala pampas.

Its main natural attractions are the Panaholma rivers with warm semi-thermal waters with healing qualities and the Mina Clavero with cold waters, which gives rise to many picturesque spas. Downstream, on the border with Villa Cura Brochero, both come together giving birth to the Río de los Sauces, the most important in the Traslasierra Valley, with wide beaches of fine and warm sand that follow one another along its entire course until it empties in the La Viña Reservoir.
