  • The convent has an interesting tour, where is shown the form of life of the Carmelite Sisters in seclusion.

  • The convent of Carmen Alto is now a Museum, but the wonder is that the nuns of the cloister are still living in the middle of the building. The works of art that are there are a treasure, especially birth that occupies an entire room and the Group of the Dormition of the Virgin with carvings of life-size. The Mideros works on the life of Mariana de Jesús that are in the parlor and in the first room are also very interesting. It is a place of great peace where one feels that it is out of the world for a few moments. Feels that it has been a place of prayer and deep contemplation. For children, youth and adults is very enriching visit because we can understand how to live the contemplative nuns.
