Day 2: Cordoba’s World Heritage Estancias

Today's privately guided excursion takes you into the countryside to visit one the most important Jesuit estancias: Santa Catalina. For nearly 150 years during the 17th and 18th centuries, these farming estates were a pioneering religious, social and economic experiment that brought together European and Native American cultures. Together with the Jesuit landmarks of Cordoba, they have been named a World Heritage Site. This ensemble, including the university, represents a unique territorial organization that brought together urban and rural settlements that allowed the Jesuit Order to pursue its educational and missionary goals. At the Estancia Santa Catalina, you'll see the estate's beautiful church as well as the workers' quarters, the priest's residence, the mill and reservoir. Surrounded by rolling hills, the Estancia offers a fascinating look into this important chapter of Argentina's early settlement and growth.
