Hacienda de Calderon en Villla de Reyes
Hacienda Calderón in Villa de Reyes: history, nature, and tradition
Amid landscapes filled with history and nature, this destination preserves the heritage of the former Marquisate of Jaral since 1741. Thanks to the region’s climate, Manuel de la Gándara cultivated more than 20,000 vines, producing red wines and champagnes that were even exported to Europe.
The architecture of Calderón amazes visitors with its cobblestone main courtyard, its cantera stone fountain at the center, and the arched corridors that frame the place. Its orchard, with gardens, wooded areas, and two pools, now offers an ideal space for rest and relaxation.
For nature and adventure lovers, “La Mesita de Calderón” is a mythical site that preserves the tradition of the Virgin engraved in stone, where every December 12th pilgrims arrive to venerate her. Likewise, the Santa Ana Dam invites visitors to enjoy water sports, camping, and to explore its historic aqueduct.
Just 50 km from San Luis Potosí, this hidden gem invites you to discover its old wheat mill, the imposing 12-meter waterfall that once powered the hydroelectric plant, and an environment where tranquility and nature become your best companions.
