Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
A short distance from Cordoba, on the banks of the Cosquin River, at the foot of the mountain, lies Cosquin, the oldest town in the Punilla Valley. It has a moderate climate, conducive to the treatment of tuberculosis. In 1900, a physician from Buenos Aires recognized its potential and established a sanitarium in the town. People from across the country were sent there to recuperate. In the 1940s, a cure was found for the disease and patients stopped coming. Due to the focus on, and the stigma of, TB, tourism was not developed. Since 1961, however the town has played host to the National Folklore Festival.
