Frommer's Review

This was the biggest and most important of all the estancias. Now in private hands, it is largely closed to the public but still worth visiting for its beautiful location and the magnificent church on the premises, which is still accessible. The amazing baroque-style interior, funded by cattle raising, is one of the most valued works of colonial architecture in the country. It is approximately 19km (12 miles) west of Jesús María, on an unpaved road.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
