Car Rental in Puerto De Santiago

One of the oldest cultural institutions on the island is the Museo de la Naturaleza y el Hombre Museum that was opened in 1958. The museum occupies a chic colonial building and stores thousands of unique exhibits within its walls. It has gathered collections of archaeological, paleontological and historical artifacts, as well as an extensive botanical collection. Visitors to the museum will have a chance to learn a lot of interesting facts about the peculiarities of local nature, including marine flora and fauna. The museum building itself is also a valuable historical attraction built in the best traditions of the neoclassical style. It was formerly occupied by a local college, and in the mid-20th century, it was decided to convert it into a museum.

Among the great variety of religious monuments preserved in the region, the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Candelaria stands out in particular. Its walls keep many valuable religious artifacts, including an old sculpture of the Virgin of Candelaria, the patroness of the small fishing town. A large monastery complex founded in these places in the colonial period has survived to this day. Together with the basilica, it forms an incredibly beautiful architectural ensemble, which has been preserved almost intact since its construction. It would be especially interesting to visit the religious center during traditional holidays when sumptuous celebrations take place here.
