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.

Excellent Iguazu Falls Trip
"My Iguazu Falls trip was excellent! Gabriel was an excellent driver and communicator. I definitely got to see all of the falls on both sides and to he allowed me all the time I needed to enjoy them. I would definitely recommend him and the tour company to others and would use them again if I ever go back to the area.

I had the pleasure of working with Mauro from Ripioturismo
"I had the pleasure of working with Mauro from Ripioturismo in Buenos Aires. I am located in North America and had to do everything through email. He was very detailed and put together a great itinerary for our visit to Iguazu Falls. He was patient when corresponding with me and even with a few last minute changes, he was on top of it. Everything worked great, the travel was easy, pick ups were on time (even at an early hour of 5AM) and the guides were amazing. All in all a great experience to the Falls. I would recommend Mauro to plan your trip.

Don't miss both excursions, lunch in Argentina and boat ride!
"We booked the excursions that included both the Argentina and Brazil sides. Our guide in Argentina, Llarena was great. She was funny and very personable. She gave us some great insights on the history and other information regarding the falls. She gave us plenty of time to enjoy the sights and our included lunch. The food at the falls was delicious. Our second guide in Brazil was very professional and made our trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the falls and fondness for his job and country enhanced our overall experience. The boat ride under the falls was one of the highlights of the trip. Both guides, boat attendants and other personnel we met on both countries were friendly and made our trip to the falls great!
