There we will visit one of the most amazing semi-precious stone mines in the world, with basalt natural resources from Misiones: topaz, amethyst, rock crystal, aquamarine and quartz, among others. Get the chance to take home your own stone from the Wanda Mines!

To continue our tour, we travel along a route surrounded by tea and yerba mate plantations, until we reach San Ignacio, where we will find the Jesuit remains of San Ignacio Miní, declared World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.

During the guided visit in the Jesuit ruins, we will learn a lot about this religious order getting the chance to sightsee buildings of this ancient congregation that lived peacefully together with the native people: the Plaza de Armas, the church, the workshops, the orchard, the cemetery, the homes and even the priest’s cloisters.
