  • The Estancia de Santa Catalina, founded in 1622, is the biggest. It church is one of the best examples of the "Colonial Baroque" style in Argentina, with a marked influence of the central-European Baroque architecture.<br /> <br /> The estancia was the most important center of cattle breeding (with thousands head of cattle, sheep and mules). The were also workshops with looms and harnesses, a smithy, a carpentry, a batán (container to work the wool before spinning), two mills and a big tajamar. The tajamar was supplied with groundwater coming from Ongamira located several kilometers away on the sierras. When the Compañía was expelled, the estancia was acquired by Mr. Francisco Antonio Díaz in an auction organized by the Junta de Temporalidades, and it is still property of the Díaz family. The estancia continues to be used as a place to rest and go on vacation. It was declared Historic National Monument in 1941.<br /> The Estancia de Santa Catalina includes a big church, a residence with three courtyards and annexed constructions, the remains of the Novitiate, the rooms for slaves, the tajamar, the remains of irrigation channels and mills. Santa Catalina is preserved almost completely, it is the biggest and three courtyards surround it. The church, with its breathtaking fachade, has two towers and a curved doorway. <br /> <br /> The Baroque style is seen in the use of pillars and curved pediments flaming the doorway as well as in the twin towers situated on both sides of the fachade. There are other valuable preserved objects, such as the images of the "Señor de la Humildad y la Paciencia (Humility and Patience Christ), and the crucified Christ, images dressed with clothe vestments and carved out of polychromatic wood respectively. Next to the church there is an old cemetery for the clergy whose entrance is a magnificent Baroque concave doorway highlighted by its curved crowning and framed by pillars and columns.

  • A track road used for the famous World Rally Championship in cordoba.<br /> This road belongs to the area of Tres Cascadas - Three Cascades This place is located alongside the road to the Pungo, after an approximate distance of five kilometres by a colourful road full of captivating views from the locality of Asconchinga and the eastern slopes of the Sierras Chicas mountain range, towards the flatlands where some of the buildings of Jesus Maria and Colonia Caroya can be spotted from afar.<br /> <br /> There are several ways to come to this place. Obviously, if you come in a vehicle it will take only few minutes, but if you want to walk all the way it would take longer. For example, if you chose to walk alongside the winding river, following an upstream direction through the mountains -and trekking with an energetic stride- will take you some three hour time to cover the whole distance (this option is graded as of medium difficulty, able to be practised by people of all ages).<br /> The first part of the road to get the Three Cascades is mostly consists in climbing up the mountains.<br /> These impressive waterfalls formed by the San Miguel River between the sides of the mountains and among curiously shaped rock outcrops which give birth to three consecutive water jumps. <br /> There are some ideal spots where the water will pour upon their shoulders, providing a relaxing hydro massage to their bodies.<br /> The fall of its cold and clean waters produces sparkling foam that soothes the spirit and renews the body. Those visitors daring to make any kind of jump into the ponds must have the previous precaution of personally surveying the landing area, by means of reckoning the underwater terrain to avoid any possible submerged stone or sand sliding the river stream could have brought during any time of the year, but specially during Spring and Summer seasons.
