Casa Natal de Sarmiento, Cuyo, Argentina
4.0 (1.010 reviews) Spent Ranking #4 in Province of San Juan Speciality Museums
Must go in San Juan
If you have very short time in San Juan, make sure that you visit Casa Natal de Sarmiento. I visited with my son who did not speak Spanish, and they arranged a special tour for him. I was deeply moved by Sarmiento, a genius who was ahead of the time, and put the people before him. He championed for women to receive education.

Have to see it with guide
We had an incredible guide. It is a must do / incredible man and influence on the Latin American continent. Not a fan of museums but would definitely do it again to learn about history again. Thank you city of San Juan! (It is free on top of that)

Preserved colonial home in downtown San Juan.
We drove 5 km NW of our Hotel Vinas del Sol to a parking garage (60 Ap) near the main Plaza 5th de Mayo. Form here we walked 350 meters NW to visit this museum. An English speaking receptionist, gave us an overview, guided tour possibility, and suggested donation (20 Ap). We decided for a self tour. His family home is remarkably preserved, with 7 rooms of furniture including his mother's noted loom, memorabilia, and information on his life and influence as a writer, governor of this province, 6 years of presidency and diplomatic career. Worthwhile historical visit.
