Estnacia de Santa Catalina
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.
