Virgen de Lourdes Sanctuary

This sanctuary which is located in the great Mendoza on a terrain that was donated to the Virgin by Mr. Frank Romero Day, extends from Parque General San Martin until the Cordon de las Lajas in Challao Las Heras. The old chapel built in 1926 that you can find there, shows on its walls all the promises and thanks to the Virgin made by the thousands of pilgrims visiting this chapel frequently. On February 11 the pilgrims come here in greater quantity to depart in procession from the gates of the park, in the city of Mendoza, at 21pm and walk the path on foot to arrive at 23 pm. Originally, there was humble grotto in which enthroned was the image of Our Lady of Lourdes which belonged to the congregation of St.
