Today’s privately guided excursion takes you into the countryside to visit two of the Jesuit Estancia’s that comprise this unique UNESCO World Heritage Site. 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, including the university, this ensemble represented 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. In the afternoon, your exploration continues at Estancia Candonga. Built in 1730, this estate’s chapel is particularly unique and well-known for its fusion of Jesuit and indigenous architectural styles. A3-course lunch of authentic Argentine cuisine is included as part of today’s sightseeing. Meals B+L
