Alojamiento

Hemos considerado dos opciones para alojar a los embajadores: la primera es un hotel 4 estrellas ubicado en el centro de la ciudad (hotel King David), muchas veces elegido para conferencias y eventos de esta índole; la segunda corresponde a un Hostel ubicado también en zona céntrica reservando todas las plazas para esta ocasión . Al darnos ésta última una diferencia en costos significativa, nuestra idea es convocar a la mayor cantidad de miembros de Fedora a nuestro FUDCon.

Star Rating Hotel Name Reference Price Condition
* 4 estrellas King David flat Hotel 127 dólares habitación triple internet, baño privado (desayuno incluído)
* 2 estrellas Babilonia Hostel 15 dólares por persona internet, baño compartido (desayuno no incluído, Disponemos de libre acceso al área de cocina)

Costo del desayuno 5 U$S por persona, se puede organizar para que se nos traiga.


Transporte a FUDCon

Desde cualquiera de las 2 opciones de alojamiento mencionadas, se accedería a la conferencia utilizando un transporte privado, este rondaría los 300 U$S, todo el evento para todas las personas.

Agenda

A definir en el evento.

FudPub

Con la ayuda de la Agencia Córdoba Turismo ,la cual absorberá los costos de traslado con fecha de anticipación superior a 3 meses, hemos elegido un circuito para el día Sábado que incluye:

  • Paseo por Alta Gracia a 35 kms de la ciudad de Córdoba, se visitará la Casa – Museo del Che Guevara y Estancia

Jesuítica (Patrimonio UNESCO).


  • La Cumbrecita: a 125 kms de la ciudad de Córdoba, es el 1° pueblo peatonal de Argentina y está

diseñado en la ladera de las Sierras Grandes dentro de una marco de tranquilidad y gastronomía típica increíble.


  • Dique Los Molinos
