Audio Guide: In the Footsteps of Father Cardiel in Necochea

276 years ago, the Jesuit José Cardiel crossed these lands before they were yet to appear on maps. His travel journal was the first written record of this region, and his maps, astonishingly accurate for the time, laid the foundations for colonial cartography in the province of Buenos Aires.

In this audio guide, we invite you to relive his journey: from Laguna de los Padres to the mouth of the Quequén River, passing through masses celebrated in what is now Paso de Otero and Punta Negra, and crossing rivers steeped in history.

A tour that combines tales of exploration, missionary chronicles, and the first contact with the indigenous peoples of the pampas.

Listen, walk, imagine.
Rediscover Necochea through the eyes and words of someone who saw it for the first time.
