La Soledad

A Sanctuary of Traditions

La Soledad has 1,496 inhabitants in 2023 and an area of 119.3 km². Its average altitude is 130 meters above sea level. “La Soledad” is one of the historic “Hatos” of the region, which in colonial times were properties of the Catholic Church, which denotes a deep historical and religious root.

It is located in an area of river confluence, mentioned in relation to the San Juan and San Pablo rivers, and is bordered by Guarumal and La Trinchera.

The prominent mention of this tradition underscores the importance of religious and cultural festivities in shaping local identity and community life. This offers an authentic and unique cultural experience for visitors that goes beyond the natural attractions.
