Labrador Nature Reserve is an oasis of tranquility and natural wonders. The park offers a picturesque view of the sea. A path built on the edge of the secondary forest provides a prime view of the cliff side vegetation coupled with a panoramic view of the sea. It is not uncommon to hear songs of a variety of bird species, including the Oriental Magpie-robin and Black-naped Oriole. While you are taking a leisurely stroll along one of the nature trails, you can spot squirrels scurrying up trees.

La Parroquia San Isidro Labrador fue fundada el 15 de mayo de 1686 por el obispo de Santiago de Chile de aquella época, Don Diego de Umanzoro. Se construyó con adobe, aislada entre chacra y corrales.
En el año 1754, el Marqués de Casa Real, don Francisco García Huidobro, hizo demoler el destartalado templo original y ordenó la construcción de un nuevo templo (el segundo), hecho de cal y ladrillo, con fuertes cimientos de piedra canteada.
En 1842 se inician los trabajos de la tercera iglesia, ubicada 100 m al sur de la antigua construcción, a cargo del cura Don Blas de los Reyes, concluyéndose en 1848. Luego, en el año 1896, comienza la construcción del cuarto y actual templo, emplazado en el mismo lugar del anterior. Esta obra, del arquitecto Ignacio Cremonesi, se terminó en 1903, sin embargo, en 1906, a raíz del terremoto de ese año, el constructor Ricardo Echeverría realizó trabajos de refacción y agregó una cúpula sobre el altar mayor, la que se derrumbó el 2 de diciembre de 1921.
En el año 1977 fue declarada Monumento Histórico por Decreto n.º 933/1977 Ministerio de Educación. Hasta la fecha, este templo ha mantenido su funcionamiento como parroquia, continuando con su servicio pastoral y de evangelización en el sector.
Esta iglesia de planta rectangular se caracteriza por un volumen simple, sin torre, de influencia neoclásica. Con huellas romanas en sus dos altas columnas, que juntas enmarcan los tres accesos y rematan en el nártex de vanos en marcos de medio punto. Sobre su acceso lateral se encuentran dos nichos con estatuas de motivos religiosos. Se hace frecuente el uso de frontones en la fachada, enmarcando los accesos de una forma similar a como se realizaba en Roma, se utilizó además un rosetón en el acceso principal el cual genera un destello desde el exterior, que se percibe en la atmósfera interior de la Iglesia.
Un frontón triangular también corona el ático en el sector del paño central, adelantándose al plano de la fachada, esto utilizando las molduras para enmarcar todos los volúmenes, uniones entre columnas y capiteles, el cual forman una proporción monumental a lo largo y alto del edificio.
El cielo de la nave central está construido por cinco cupulines de curva rebajada, que vendrían siendo los castellones utilizados por los Romanos para alivianar la estructura de la cúpula, si bien es de un carácter Neoclásico, es importante hacer notar que en la cúpula central de la Iglesia, se conforma además por 2 ventanas de estilo francés (siglo xix), que da origen a la iluminación de las mansardas en sus edificios. Cierra el presbiterio un muro semicircular a la manera de falso ábside.
En los tímpanos que bordean la estructura, se utilizaron ventanas moldeándose al arco de medio punto, que permiten el baño de luz proveniente del Oriente y el Poniente.
Los muros son de albañilería de ladrillo a la vista (aspecto que da particularidad a este edificio) de 1 m y de 0,80 m de ancho, cimientos y sobrecimientos de piedra semicanteada, que se transforman en los zócalos de 0,6 m de altura levantando el edificio de manera alegórica. Refuerzos de platinas metálicas en el voladizo de las cornisas y en las bovedillas del arquitrabe del entablamento.
La cubierta es de Fe galvanizado y la armadura de la techumbre es de Roble, material que permite alivianar la estructura, concentrando las fuerzas en la descarga en los muros estructurales interiores, de 0,8 m de espesor. (Ver Planta y Corte del edificio). La fachada principal da a una Plazoleta comunitaria del sector de Santa Victoria con Calle San Isidro, barrio que se encuentra actualmente en renovación urbana y que poco a poco se desequilibran las escalas, de lo que eran casas de uno y dos pisos a edificios de 22 pisos alrededor del monumento histórico.
Isidro de Merlo y Quintana, patrono de la parroquia, nació en Madrid alrededor del año 1081, en los momentos en que España estaba bajo el dominio de los moros. Sobre su familia, se deduce que poseían una fuerte base cristiana dado el ambiente de guerra y anticatólico que prevalecía en ese momento. Aprendió de su padre el oficio de campesino, iba teniendo fama de buen trabajador y se destacaba en la construcción de pozos y norias. Sus características de buen cristiano, piadoso y cumplidor de las virtudes evangélicas se iban acrecentando. Era un asiduo adorador del Santísimo Sacramento, y de recibir la Eucaristía, nunca olvidaba a los pobres o de echar un puñado de semillas fuera de la tierra para que las aves del campo encontraran su alimento. Se casó con María Torribia, también Santa, llamada “De la Cabeza”, con la cual llevó un matrimonio basado en el amor y la fe mutua. No estuvieron ausentes las tentaciones y los problemas familiares, pero con el apoyo de la oración y del Señor se fueron fortaleciendo los lazos familiares.
Fruto de su amor esponsal, nació su único hijo, varón, el cual los acompañó hasta avanzada edad de ambos. Con el tiempo Isidro y su esposa se dedican por completo a la oración, a la Eucaristía y al cuidado de la ermita de Ntra. Sra. de la Cabeza, hasta su muerte el 15 de mayo de 1172, rodeado de su esposa, hijo, familiares y amigos. Se le atribuyen numerosas obras milagrosas, las cuales despertaron la devoción, haciéndolo beatificar en 1619 y canonizar por el Papa Gregorio XV el 22 de marzo de 1622.

The San Isidro Labrador Parish was founded on May 15, 1686 by the bishop of Santiago de Chile at that time, Don Diego de Umanzoro. It was built with adobe, isolated between farms and corrals.
In 1754, the Marquis of Casa Real, Don Francisco García Huidobro, had the dilapidated original temple demolished and ordered the construction of a new temple (the second), made of lime and brick, with strong foundations of edged stone.
In 1842, work began on the third church, located 100 m south of the old construction, by the priest Don Blas de los Reyes, and was completed in 1848. Then, in 1896, construction of the fourth and current temple began. , located in the same place as the previous one. This work, by the architect Ignacio Cremonesi, was completed in 1903, however, in 1906, as a result of the earthquake of that year, the builder Ricardo Echeverría carried out renovation work and added a dome over the main altar, which collapsed on 2 December 1921.
In 1977 it was declared a Historical Monument by Decree No. 933/1977 Ministry of Education. To date, this temple has maintained its operation as a parish, continuing with its pastoral and evangelization service in the sector.
This rectangular church is characterized by a simple volume, without a tower, of neoclassical influence. With Roman traces in its two tall columns, which together frame the three entrances and end in the narthex of openings in semicircular frames. Above its side access there are two niches with statues of religious motifs. The use of pediments on the façade is frequent, framing the entrances in a way similar to what was done in Rome. A rose window was also used at the main entrance which generates a flash from the outside, which is perceived in the interior atmosphere. of the church.
A triangular pediment also crowns the attic in the sector of the central panel, advancing the plane of the façade, using the moldings to frame all the volumes, joints between columns and capitals, which form a monumental proportion along the length and height of the building. .
The ceiling of the central nave is built by five domes with a lowered curve, which would be the castles used by the Romans to lighten the structure of the dome. Although it is of a Neoclassical character, it is important to note that in the central dome of The Church is also made up of 2 French-style windows (19th century), which give rise to the lighting of the mansards in its buildings. The presbytery is closed by a semicircular wall in the style of a false apse.
In the tympanums that border the structure, windows were used molded to the semicircular arch, which allow the bath of light from the East and West.
The walls are made of exposed brick masonry (an aspect that gives particularity to this building) measuring 1 m and 0.80 m wide, with foundations and semi-edged stone surfacing, which are transformed into the 0.6 m high plinths. raising the building in an allegorical way. Reinforcements of metal plates in the overhang of the cornices and in the vaults of the architrave of the entablature.
The roof is made of galvanized Fe and the roof reinforcement is made of Oak, a material that allows the structure to be lightened, concentrating the forces in the discharge on the interior structural walls, 0.8 m thick. (See Plan and Section of the building). The main façade overlooks a community square in the Santa Victoria sector with Calle San Isidro, a neighborhood that is currently undergoing urban renewal and the scales are gradually becoming unbalanced, from what were one- and two-story houses to 22-story buildings. floors around the historical monument.
Isidro de Merlo y Quintana, patron of the parish, was born in Madrid around the year 1081, at a time when Spain was under the rule of the Moors. Regarding his family, it is deduced that they had a strong Christian base given the war and anti-Catholic atmosphere that prevailed at that time. He learned the peasant's trade from his father, had a reputation as a good worker and stood out in the construction of wells and waterwheels. His characteristics as a good Christian, pious and observant of evangelical virtues were increasing. He was an assiduous adorer of the Blessed Sacrament, and when receiving the Eucharist, he never forgot to help the poor or to throw a handful of seeds out of the ground so that the birds of the field could find food. He married María Torribia, also a Saint, called “De la Cabeza”, with whom they had a marriage based on love and mutual faith. Temptations and family problems were not absent, but with the support of prayer and the Lord, family ties were strengthened.
As a result of their spousal love, their only child was born, a boy, who accompanied them until they were both advanced in age. Over time, Isidro and his wife dedicated themselves completely to prayer, the Eucharist and the care of the hermitage of Our Lady of the Cabeza, until his death on May 15, 1172, surrounded by his wife, son, family and friends. Numerous miraculous works are attributed to him, which aroused devotion, leading him to be beatified in 1619 and canonized by Pope Gregory XV on March 22, 1622.
