Convent Museum of Santa Teresa Tour

With this guided tour of the Convent Museum of Santa Teresa, you'll get to know one of the oldest religious monuments of Cochabamba.

Description

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Plaza de Colón and walk to the Convent of Santa Teresa, one of the oldest buildings in Cochabamba.

Founded in 1760, this baroque-style monastery has been the residence of the Discalced Carmelite Sisters since its construction. It is a significant example of the architectural and cultural heritage of the Bolivian city and has been recently restored for visitor enjoyment.

The tour will take us through the different sections of the convent-museum, allowing us to experience its solemnity and silence. We'll see the mural paintings in some rooms, as well as the church. In the temple, we will admire the religious works of art preserved on the main altar, including the central altarpiece with decorations in gold leaf.

We'll also walk through the cloister of the convent, featuring a beautiful stone arcade. After almost 2 hours of exploring this religious site, we'll conclude the tour and say our goodbyes at the exit.
