Three themes offer a clear guide to a trip to Navarro: the Replica del Fortín San Lorenzo, railway heritage and Laguna de Navarro. They are quite distinct: a replica fort, collections about the railway line and a lagoon with stated area measurements. You can first decide whether to plan your stay more around history and cultural heritage or around the landscape.

Fort and protected cultural heritage

The Replica del Fortín San Lorenzo in Navarro was built to the same dimensions as the original fort. Its layout includes a moat and a fence made of pointed stakes. This offers a comparison on two levels: the dimensions refer to the original fort, while the moat and stake fence are specific features of the replica. If you are interested in architectural heritage, this example lets you distinguish the structure from its individual features rather than treating the replica and original as one and the same.

Another way to explore the history of the Fortín is through a specific celebration: a traditional parade took place at the event marking the 256th anniversary of the founding of Fortín San Lorenzo de Navarro, and tourists also attended. Alongside the architectural replica, this celebration from Navarro’s history offers another point of interest for culture enthusiasts.

Templo Parroquial San Lorenzo Mártir is also part of Navarro’s historical and cultural heritage and lies within the historic area, or the city’s founding core. Its protected status and location provide two points of reference when choosing cultural stops: the church can be viewed in terms of its place in Navarro’s historic core. Unlike the fort, the emphasis here is on protected urban cultural heritage.

Railway history at the museum

Museo Ferroviario de Navarro preserves railway materials, tools, photographs and documents relating to this railway line, particularly the route from Navarro. The museum also displays parts of former stations, including waiting rooms and the stationmaster’s office, as well as train models and machinery. Different kinds of historical records are represented side by side: materials and documents about the line, former station areas and technical exhibits. If you are interested in railway history, this collection offers a different focus from the fort and the protected ecclesiastical heritage.

Laguna de Navarro and how to find your way around

Laguna de Navarro has a water surface of 165 ha and is surrounded by a 70 ha area. The two measurements describe different parts of the site: 165 ha refers to the water surface, and 70 ha to the surrounding area. You can reach the currently used access point on foot or by car; it is a few blocks from the main square and the bus station. Check current access conditions before your visit. The lagoon therefore combines a clearly described landscape with specific directions within Navarro.

Choose your stay based on your interests

These different highlights can help you tailor your search for hotels in Navarro to your travel interests and decide what kind of stay is right for you.
