Cordoba is a city full of univercities.. Therefore it is known as a city with great nightlife and a lot of hot chicks..

Yours trully decided to check these facts..

After arriving to Cordoba we (a group of us, including Tamir, Limor - whom we met again arriving to the same hostel Tamir and I went to, and myself) went wandering around the city.

From wandering around, you could not get the sense that it is anything out of the ordinary.. But we decided to wait for the night..

After wandering around a bit, Tamir and I went to buy some stuff for Limor´s birthday (which was the next day)..

At night, after waking Limor up (who went for a nap) with a birthday cake and songs we went out to check the Cordoba nightlife..

Conclusion (from 1 day of going out in Cordoba): There is great nightlife (or at least that is what it seemed on Friday night), and a lot of hot chicks, but at least from where we went, the crowd was too young (at least for my taste and age)..

The next day we (Limor and I) decided to go to the nearby small town of Tanti (which is not on the usual tourist path)..

Arriving there, we went to a great hostel, where we were the only guests, and the staff was amazing..

We did a small hike in the area, and in the evening they had a nice party that we joined..

The next day we decided to go on a hike in the nearby mountains:

Having no map, and being told that the trail is pretty obvious (which it is not), we found ourselves trying to look for the way to the top..

Luckily, we met a group of argentians (whom all spoke english) that one of them has been there a few times before, and they offered us to join them (and gave us a ride back to Tanti)

Due to them, we also saw some interesting caves on the way, and had a really nice hike.. We also discovered that the area is one of the important areas in Argentina for rock climbing..

The next day in Tanti, we mainly used to relax, in the evening I took a night bus to Buenos Aires to meet Oren and go to Uruguay, while Limor stayed in Tanti for a few more days..
