Estadio Kempes, Córdoba, Argentina

This Argentine edition of the series takes place in the challenging, hilly landscapes of the Punilla Valley in Córdoba. The main competitive event, covering 134 kilometers, is designed to emulate a classic Tour de France mountain stage on fully closed roads. The route, which begins and ends at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium, pushes riders over demanding ascents like the famous Camino del Cuadrado, providing a true high-level Gran Fondo challenge amid the picturesque sierras of the province.
