San Miguel de Tucumán is situated in northwest Argentina and is the capital city of Tucumán province. Only a few miles from Buenos Aires, this fifth-largest city in Argentina was founded by the Spanish conquistador, Diego de Villarroel in 1565. Located on the slopes of the Aconquija mountains, the irrigated land produces large quantities of sugarcane, rice, tobacco, and fruit and has led the city to earn the moniker, 'the Garden of the Republic'. The city’s economy which was mostly dependent on its agricultural produce has been diversified by investing in the tourism industry. As such, some of its prime attractions include Casa Historica de Tucumán, Parque Sierra de San Javier, Museo Miguel Lillo De Ciencias Naturales, Catedral de San Miguel de Tucumán, El Cadilla Dam, Basílica Nuestra Señora de la Merced, Reserva Experimental Horco Molle, Casa de Gobierno de Tucuman, Cascada del Rio Noque, etc.
