Villa Nougues

In the summits of the hill San Javier, is Villa Nougués, one of the most beautiful places that you can find in Tucumán.
This place was created with intentions to have a different place, far away from the sound of the city and all negative aspects of these.
All the residencess that exist in this place were designed by the Pole Juan Hlawascek, who constructed them with a Norman style, with walls of local stone and large windows with small glasses, to protect them from the strong winds that they flog sometimes during the summer season.
It is common that in some winters the Villa covers of snow, and does that the tucumanos - that little or nothing they know about the cold - rise to the mountains to seeing the natural phenomenon.

Villa Nougués was founded at the end of the 19th century by the engineer Luis F. Nougués, who was later a governor of the province. Nougués was looking for a place with temperatures lower than Tucumán's San Miguel, in order that his family was happening the torrid summer, and it discovered that in this place there were 8 º C less than the habitual temperature than the Capital. This entrepreneur looked for several families friends, to whom it sold areas or hills with the commitment of which they were building his(summer residences.
Some of the intellectual ones most distinguished from the epoch, as Juan B. Terán, Jose Ignacio Aráoz, Alberto Rougués or Julio Lopez Mañán between others, had his residences in this villa, which today his descendants preserve.
In this village the only sports that can be practised are trekking, mountain bike, but if you go to san javier that is a another location situated at a very short distance from villa nougues you can also practise sports like ala delta y parapente more certainly in loma bola.
Onother important atractive for tourists its a very small church that is in front of the hosteria from this place.
