In order to go to Río Ceballos it is necessary to take the route from the city of Cordoba towards the Pajas Blancas International Airport (10 km). Río Ceballos stands at the 30 km landmark. Located in the centre of the Sierras Chicas, on the river which bears the same name, 679 m above sea level, Río Ceballos is one of the main tourist centres of Cordoba Province, even if others became more relevant later, such as Villa Carlos Paz or La Cumbrecita. This little town with only 1,802 inhabitants still preserves a very particular character given the Norman style of its houses. It was named after Juan Ceballos, who founded the town on a previous comenchingones settlement. In the Pre Hispanic era, its name was “Ministalo�. Its most interesting attractions are the sports area, with gardens and an open-air amphitheatre, and the church, opposite which stands the Paseo Jorge Newbery, which links the resort with the stream. Only 6 km away we can find the La Quebrada Dam, with its natural hydric reservation and its lake. The reservation shows indigenous samples of flora and fauna, among them, pepper trees and coconuts. The Los Hornillos and de los Condores waterfalls and the de la Estancia Fall are particularly interesting. The La Quebrada Dam was built in 1976 with the purpose of providing drinking water and lessening hydraulic problems. A variety of water sports can be done there, including canoeing and kayak. Although motor sailing is not allowed, it is also possible to go diving and fishing atherine, carp, tararira, dientudo, mojarra and yellow jack. With a surface of 4,200 hectares, the Natural Hydric Reservation presents areas of low hills, small valleys, quebradas and many streams, which end their courses in the La Quebrada embalse. Many activities can be carried out there, among them, guided visits of environmental interpretation, landscape, fauna and flora sightings, as well as water sports. There is the possibility of camping in places with a permanent ranger. The reservation is located 7 km away from Río Ceballos, 36 km north of Cordoba on provincial route 53.
