> Ruins of San Ignacio
This South American subtropical region once hosted one of the most extraordinary historical, social, and cultural experiences in human history. It was the cradle and home of the Jesuit-Guaraní missions in the 17th century, and vestiges of these missions can be explored in detail and with the help of the best local guides.
Their value has been recognized by UNESCO by declaring them a heritage site.
The ruins of the San Ignacio Miní reductions are the city's premier tourist attraction and one of the province's main attractions. The excellent state of preservation of the complex—perimeter walls, church, workshops, family homes, and the plaza—allows visitors to appreciate the urban layout of this monumental undertaking carried out by the Guarani people, guided by the Jesuit priests. After some free time for a delicious lunch at one of the local restaurants or to visit the artisan market, we will return you to your hotels.
