Right in the centre of the park and next to the house there is a lake which is fed by irrigation ditches that connect it with Ascochinga River, which were built in the times of the Jesuits. Here you can enjoy yourself rowing round the lake or fishing carps or “pejerrey” (a variety of mackerel).

In both building stages the natural topography of the terrain was respected as well as the local flora such as the Algarrobos which now are more than 100 years old.
