Suipacha can be explored through two distinct themes: the Ruta del Queso and the Camino a la Santidad – Madre Leonor Maturana. There are also tree-lined streets and green spaces that you can explore using the city’s free bicycle rental service. When choosing accommodation, it helps to first work out how you will get there and then decide what you want to focus on during your stay: cheese-making, the pilgrimage route or urban open spaces. These themes offer different experiences and do not need to be combined into a single outing.

Quesos de Suipacha is located in Suipacha on National Route 5 at kilometre 126 and is part of the route. At Fermier, cheese production involves several steps: the cows graze on the farm’s own fields and are milked, and the milk is used to make the cheeses.

For groups of more than 15 people, Quesos de Suipacha offers a tasting with coffee by prior reservation. The origins and history of selected cheeses are presented during the tasting. Check the reservation terms and current availability before your visit.
A pilgrimage route and green urban spaces

They tell the story of events in Madre Leonor Maturana’s life and work during her 18 years in Suipacha, from 1913 to 1931. The focus here is on a historical biography, while the Ruta del Queso is devoted to cheese-making and its producers.
