San Esteban is at kilometer 804 of national route 38, spine of the valley of Punilla, and 1,024 meters above the sea level.
The perimeter of the town extends from route 38 towards the west, to the Dolores River, formed by waters of the Cruz Grande Stream and San Jerónimo River, that together with other streams drain into the Cruz del Eje Dam.
The town has a dry climate, but the proximity of the stream makes this town a fertile place, with average temperatures of 23º C in summer and 12º C below zero, in winter.
It is a colorful and peaceful town, located 99 kilometers from the Capital City, only eight kilometers from Capilla del Monte and nine from La Cumbre.
As in all mountain towns, its inhabitants are warm and friendly.
This place has many big houses, most of them colonial style, visited in summer and during winter holidays.
Two kilometers from San Esteban we find Dolores, and this closeness makes it look like a sort of neighborhood of the first. But in fact, both have a common origin in which clergy and ranchers lineages merged.
According to the dispositions of Don Esteban Cabanillas, dated December 12th, 1761, San Esteban and Dolores were ranches. The first enclosed the railway station and later inheritances determined that the original premises were transferred to extend the railway lands. The rest of the land was divided into lots and most of them were acquired by Felipe Otero Costa.

Según el testamento de don Estaban Cabanillas, fechado el 12 de diciembre de 1761, San Esteban y Dolores eran estancias. En la primera se encontraba la estación del ferrocarril y las sucesivas herencias determinaron que con el transcurrir del tiempo, se cediera el predio de la casa original para ampliar los terrenos ferroviarios. El resto de los terrenos fue loteado y la mayoría fueron adquiridos por Felipe Otero Costa.
En el pacífico barrio de Dolores se filmó "Flor de Durazno", la única película silente en la que actuó y el único largometraje que realizó en Argentina Carlos Gardel. Se trata de uno de los primeros filmes mudos de nuestro país y se basó en la obra homónima de Gustavo Martinez Zuviría, más conocido como Hugo Wast.
La obra llega en 1917 a la pantalla grande bajo la dirección de Francisco Defilippis Novoa y con la intervención de Ilde Pirovano, Diego Figueroa, Celestino Petray, Argentino Gómez, Rosa Bozán y Carlos Gardel, presentados en los títulos de la película en ese orden y con el nombre del zorzal criollo destacado. Se filmó en Buenos Aires y en la pintoresca Dolores y zonas aledañas respetando la idea original de Hugo Wast.
