Hidden monastery close to Carmen de Areco

A few months ago we visited Carmen de Areco. Very close to this location, in the middle of nowhere, you will find a place you wouldn´t believe ... It is an Monastery called "San Pablo de la Cruz" of the passion missionaries. It was built on 1888, a legacy of the irish community on the area. We got there when the sun was going down... You could only hear the sound of peace of the campo argentino, birds flying all over the place, the light of the sunset was slowly fading off in the horizon... We rang the bell of the monastry several times but nobody answered. We kept walking around and a few meters from the monastery we found a small cemetery.

We got there at six in the afternoon and it was already closed, but you can sleep there and visit the monastery inside! This place offers accomodation. Our experience was some kind of creepy but is a incredible place to visit! It feels like visiting some place in Ireland but in the middle of the argentine fields....
