(Translated by Google) A historical museum not to be missed. I'm from Entre Ríos, and I loved learning about how many settlers arrived in our province. The museum's layout is excellent, with exhibits depicting the settlers' daily activities. The guide, a descendant of one of the settlers from San José, was very kind and knowledgeable. Everyone from the director to the gentleman at the reception desk was very cordial. It's clear that the work is conscientious and there's a lot of love for what they do. (Original) Un Museo histórico, que no hay que perder de visitar. Soy entrerriana y me encanto saber cómo llegaron muchos colonos a nuestra Provincia. Excelente el desarrollo del Museo con piezas que representan la actividad cotidianas de los colonos. La guía descendiente de uno de los colonos de San José , muy amable y preparada. Desde el director hasta el señor en la mesa de entrada muy cordiales. Se nota que hay un trabajo hecho a conciencia y mucho amor por lo que hacen.
(Translated by Google) It's an important place to learn about part of our national history. I'm sorry there are only two tour times. So you have to be punctual. It's also a self-guided tour, but the guided tour adds interesting information. (Original) Es un lugar importante para conocer parte de nuestra historia nacional. Me da pena que hay solo visita en dos horarios. Así que hay que ser muy puntual. Igualmente, es un circuito autocuidado pero la visita con guia te suma datos interesantes.
(Translated by Google) It's a museum that takes you on a journey through history, but it doesn't stop there! I return every chance I get, and there's always something new to behold! It's the most wonderful museum I've ever seen, because I experienced its evolution and because it always appeals to the emotions. (Original) Es un museo que te hace viajar por tu historia, pero no se queda en la historia! Cada vez que puedo, vuelvo y siempre hay algo nuevo que asombra! Es el museo más maravilloso que conozco, porque viví su evolución y porque siempre apela a las emociones.
(Translated by Google) I was amazed by the museum; it exceeded my expectations. Not because I expected anything less, but because I'd never seen such a beautiful museum in a town. From the kindness of the people who work there, to the sheer number of historical objects collected, to the care taken with each one and its display. (Original) Me sorprendió el museo, supero mis expectativas. No porque esperara menos, sino porque nunca había presenciado en un pueblo un museo tan hermoso. Desde la amabilidad de la gente que trabaja allí, hasta cantidad de objetos históricos recolectados y el cuidado de cada uno y su exposición.
(Translated by Google) A very nice experience and overall attention. The ideal place to learn more about the European hills towards Entre Ríos... (Original) Muy linda experiencia y atención en gral el lugar ideal para conocer más sobre la colinazacion europea hacia entre ríos ...

(Translated by Google) As for the snack, I don't know if we didn't go at the best time, but the snack was bad. There wasn't much variety to choose from, other than nougat, pudding and alfajores (we had seen other options in the map references) We ordered pudding and it was dry, you could tell it was several days old. We also didn't like that it didn't have a menu, so you couldn't see the prices before ordering. We found it very expensive and we didn't eat well. Excellent service, very friendly lady who serves. We bought products, the price was the same as in other places so it seemed correct to us. Very nice place. Very well set. A shame about the quality of the snack. (Original) En cuanto a la merienda, no sé si no fuimos en el mejor momento, pero la merienda fue mala. No había mucha variedad para elegir, más que turrones, budín y alfajores (habíamos visto otras opciones en las referencias de maps) Pedimos budín y estaba seco, se notaba que tenía varios días. Tampoco nos gustó que no tuviera carta, por lo que no podías ver los precios antes de pedir. Nos pareció muy costoso y no comimos bien. El servicio excelente, muy amable la señora que atiende. Compramos productos, el precio igual que en otros lugares por lo que nos pareció correcto. El lugar muy lindo. Muy bien ambientado. Una lástima la calidad de la merienda.
(Translated by Google) We arrived a little before the store opened and they still took care of us, super friendly, we bought a 2 kilo jar of honey (because they have the best honey in the world) and we left.

(Translated by Google) It was an excellent experience, they train you before leaving so that you feel safe and then they always ask you how far you want to go. At the end you do an elongation. The journey lasts approx. 3 hours and for the navigation time it is an appropriate price, added to the fact that the owners, Juan and Laura, know a lot and are super loving. We recommend it 100% :) :) :) (Original) Fue una excelente experiencia, te capacitan previo a salir para que te sientas seguro y después te van preguntando siempre hasta donde queres seguir.
