    These ruins are part of one of the old hermitages that surrounded the Desierto de los Leones monastery, located within the national park of the same name. Situated near the Valle de las Monjas (Valley of the Nuns) and on the Sendero de los Hermanos Descalzos (Path of the Barefoot Brothers), they evoke the life of retreat and meditation of the Carmelite friars. It is a peaceful place with historical charm, ideal for pausing during your hike and enjoying the silence of the forest.
