The Calamuchita Department (in Spanish, Departamento Calamuchita) is a subdivision (department) of the province of Córdoba, Argentina. The department is located in the center-west of the province and includes important tourist destinations, especially along the Calamuchita Valley. The center of this region is the small city of Santa Rosa de Calamuchita. To the north and up the sierras, the town of Villa General Belgrano is well-known for its European Alpine look and its Oktoberfest (locally known simply Fiesta de la Cerveza, Beer Festival). To the south there is the town of Embalse, located beside a dam with a large reservoir and home to one of the two functional nuclear power plants in Argentina (see Embalse nuclear power plant).
