IN FLORIDA\r\n<\/b><\/span>Reboledo Ranch<\/i><\/span>, with its 19th-century manor house, is another must-see spot. Its lookout was once a Jesuit post belonging to the 18th-century <\/span>La Calera Ranch<\/i><\/span>, strategically positioned in the area. It was also a site of peace negotiations during the 1827 revolution between Pedro Etchegaray and Aparicio Saravia.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The manor of <\/span>El Chaj\u00e1 Ranch<\/i><\/span>, located on Route 6, once served as a stone blacksmith shop in the 19th century. Today, it works as a recreational and educational center, where visitors can have lunch or stay overnight at its excellent facilities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Santa Clara Ranch<\/i><\/span>, on the other hand, is a majestic architectural work that charms visitors with its French <\/span>Belle \u00c9poque <\/i><\/span>style. On its land, in a rugged environment along Timote Stream, lie the ruins of one of the country\u2019s first agro-industrial facilities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Along this culture and history-rich route, several 19th century rural establishments can be found.
