Description

La Paz is an impressive house with a Neo Classical look, much history and a wonderful setting overlooking a lake. It was originally built on an old landmark of the Camino Real and then became part of the Estancia Catalina until the Jesuits were expelled from America. The property is 2,100 hectares with wonderful gardens and 100 hectares of Oak, Walnut and Kapok trees.

Tours to the nearby Jesuit Estancias and Dove shooting can also be organised.
