We are making a tour around the mission every three weeks. We spend about 40-50% of our nights in hotels, and so we are always happy when we find one that is enjoyable. This hotel or hacienda is now a national monument. It is over 500 years old and was built by the Jesuits as a monastery. The King of Spain later kicked them out and it has changed hands many times, but it now is owned by the government. Simon Bolivar, the liberator of Colombia, stayed here two nights back in 1819. During the Revolution, it was a hospital for a while.
