A place filled with history- the remaimings of structures that saw part of the regional history, now convered with nature... and a place to take some great pictures, too, if you're into photography! If you're visiting Colonia, near Carmelo, it's a good idea to have a visit to this place. Shouldn't take longer than a hour to visit its two main places, but that depends entirely on you and how much time you want to spend here! Everything's free, no tickets or special...

The ruins of a XVIII century Jesuitic complex including a chapel, cementery, cloister, workshops, residences and even two lime kilns. The chapel is still standing and preserved, foundations for most of the complex are visible and described by information boards across the area. We visited during a National Holiday so we missed a small museum which contains artifacts and more detailed history about the place but it you are history buff, it's totally...

Paseando por la zona vi un cartel que indicaba que a 5 km de la ruta 21 estaba Calera de las Huérfanas, de la cual había oído hablar, así que decidí darme una vuelta. Son los restos de una misión jesuita que existió en el lugar en el siglo XVIII. Lo mas impresionante de estos restos, es la iglesia, de las demás edificaciones apenas quedan los cimientos y poca cosa mas. Todo el lugar está acordonado para proteger en la medida de lo posible los restos de visitantes descuidados. Los carteles que describen cada una de las cosas que uno esta mirando se encuentran bastante deteriorados debido a las inclemencias del tiempo, resultando algunos de ellos bastante difíciles de leer. El lugar en si, en lo que respecta a los alrededores de las ruinas, esta bien cuidado, el césped cortado y se puede pasear sin problemas por los alrededores...

La entrada es gratuita, es a voluntad. Se debería dejar algo para ayudar a mantener el lugar. Es un sitio donde transcurrieron hechos importantes de nuestra historia y, eso se puede observar en las construcciones. En el lugar se puede observar la capilla, a la cual no se puede ingresar por medidas de seguridad. El resto son trozos de paredes que están sostenidas con pilares de hierro para que no se derrumben. La atención es muy buena, a la entrada podes apreciar un video, de 5 minutos aproximadamente, que te ayuda a entender más la historia así como piezas encontradas en el lugar. Luego, se puede visitar los hornos de cal que están a 150 metros de la Calera. Se debe tener cuidado con las abejas que hay tanto en la Calera como en los hornos. Es muy recomendable de visitar! ⏳
