Full description Embark on a fascinating journey through the history, nature, and culture of Misiones, traveling from the city of Iguazú to Colonia Wanda and the emblematic Jesuit Ruins of San Ignacio. Along National Route No. 12, the landscape unfolds through jungles, plantations, and small towns that reflect the true essence of Misiones’ countryside.

The first stop is in Colonia Wanda, home to the famous open-pit gemstone mine. On the banks of the majestic Paraná River, visitors can admire samples of agates, quartz, rock crystal, amethysts, and topazes, discovering how nature hides real treasures beneath the earth’s surface. This site combines geological beauty with a natural setting of pine forests, yerba mate, and tea plantations — fundamental pillars of the regional economy.

The journey continues along the same route, crossing charming landscapes and small rural communities until reaching the impressive Jesuit Ruins of San Ignacio. Built in the 17th century by Jesuit missionaries, they represent one of the most significant historical and architectural legacies in Argentina. A local guide accompanies the visit, sharing stories about the Guarani people, their relationship with the Jesuits, and the cultural influence that still endures in the region.

This excursion offers a unique opportunity to discover two of Misiones’ most remarkable attractions in a single day: the natural wealth of the Wanda Mines and the historical value of San Ignacio. A journey that combines scenery, culture, and tradition — perfect for those seeking a complete experience in the heart of Argentina’s Litoral region.
