The return of those who never went
There was no tour. They canceled the day before, due to lack of quorum. I could even go if I paid for 2 people, even if I went alone 😡

Wonderful town
It’s worth taking a day and visiting the city’s museums and parks. Apart from the Jesuit residence and the central clock.

High Grace: a source of history in the province of Cordoba
It was a very quick tour, but rich in knowledge about the role of the Jesuits and the history of Che Guevara.

Three-Hour Tour of the Jesuit Past
We hired a remise and went with friends to tour Alta Gracia and in particular this very well preserved Jesuit church and with a very complete self-guided museum. Nice place to visit and enrich the culture.
