El Salvador de Piedades Sur de San Ramón is located on the western slopes of the foothills of the Montes del Aguacate. This area has long been characterized by its diverse vegetation, in harmony with the region’s features, and its abundance of wildlife (deer, coyotes, peccaries, tapirs, coatis, black guans, paca, white-faced monkeys, howler monkeys, etc.), which are rapidly declining day by day. In many of the pastures, calingueros grasses and jaragua tussocks abound, along with timber, fruit, and ornamental trees covered in bromeliads, orchids, and other epiphytes, as well as nectar-producing species with abundant blooms. For this reason, numerous apiaries are found throughout the region. The current hermitage is an exact replica of the original, which had to be replaced because it could no longer be restored.
