  • Catedral de San Juan - In contrast to almost every city in Argentina, San Juan does not have an ancient cathedral. Its main temple, with Romanesque features, imposing in front of 25 de Mayo Square, is one of the main examples of the reconstruction of the city after the earthquake that destroyed it in 1944.
    The San Juan Cathedral was inaugurated on December 16, 1979. and its design is a project by architect Daniel Ramos Correas.

The main element in this space is the German organ with tubes of different materials and sizes.

Also, we will visit the Garden of the Poets, a park that is within the circuit of the four kilometers to the creek. In this portion of the park, an oval-shaped representation of the provincial coat of arms has been organized with the strategic arrangement of exotic trees and shrubs. This creation can be observed from a lookout point located at 70 meters above sea level, which shows the elements of this important symbol for San Juan’s people.
