Description:
Join a tour to the ruins of San Ignacio Mini and gain insight into Argentina's rich history at a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover this once-prosperous Jesuit mission in the heart of the tropical forest and visit the Wanda Mines to see how its breathtaking gemstones form.
A comfortable van whisks you away from your Puerto Iguazu hotel to the Wanda Mines, where you can get an up-close view of quartz crystals, amethysts, agates, and topazes. Discover how these gems were created hundreds of millions of years ago by lava bubbling to the earth's surface with immense pressure and immediately cooling. Over time, intricate beds of mesmerizing crystals formed the intricate patterns you see today.
Next, venture to the San Ignacio Mini ruins, about 155 miles (250 km) from Puerto Iguazu. Along the way, enjoy charming scenery and listen as your guide points out significant landmarks. Arrive at the impressive remains of 5 Jesuit missions and learn about the specific layouts that characterize each one as you walk along the impressive grounds.
