Itinerary
Starting very early, from 7:30 a.m., a van will pick you up at your hotel in Puerto Iguazu or Foz de Iguazu to start on the way to the first stop that will be the Wanda Mines, just over 50km from Puerto Iguazu (Argentina).
There an English speaking guide will be waiting to tell you about the history of the mines, how they work, the importance of the place for the community, and ending in the precious stones store where you can buy some souvenirs of the place.
Then we begin the trip to the Ruins of San Ignacio, in a distance of approximately 200 kilometers. This trip can be a bit long, so we recommend taking the opportunity to see the view and landscape of the province of Misiones and rest a bit.
Arriving around noon, before entering the Ruins of San Ignacio Mini, they will make a stop for lunch at a local restaurant (not included).
Once finished, it is time to visit the Ruins of San Ignacio, there a specialized English-speaking guide will tell you all the history of the place, Jesuits Missions in the zone, and how the place worked.
At around 5:00 pm, you will start your way back to Puerto Iguazu or Foz de Iguazu, arriving at your hotel around 7:00 p.m to 8:00 p.m.

Wonderful experience
"
It was a wonderful experience. We appreciated the tour guide being able to translate in English what he was saying. We didn't feel left out. It was a great experience for the price. The pick up was right on time and they even accommodated getting us from an airbnb. Getting across the border was easy. The tour throughout was very informative and was able to see and experience it all. The ride back was just as smooth

Unforgettable Experience!
"We had the most amazing day exploring the waterfalls by foot, boat, and helicopter! The boat ride was a thrilling (and soaking wet!) adventure, and the aerial views were absolutely breathtaking. Everything was seamless, well-organised, and fun from start to finish. Huge thanks to the team for making Joe’s birthday so special!
