San Ignacio tours, things to do and tickets

Explore the Jesuit Ruins of San Ignacio and the Wanda Mines on a day trip from Puerto Iguazu.

We will visit 2 fascinating sites. First, stop by the Unesco-listed San Ignacio, once a prosperous Jesuit mission, and then Wanda mines to see crystals in their natural state

Begin your visit to the Brazilian side of the park at the Visitors’ Center to learn more about the park. Follow a 11 km (6 mi) road to begin your experience. Once on the road you will be able to hear the falls as you watch the forest and its rich fauna and flora. During the tour, observe many species of birds, butterflies and even small mammals as coatis (Nasua). Only 25% of the falls are on the Brazilian side, however you will have a privileged panoramic view of the other 75% on the Argentinian side. Depending on the weather and the sunlight, be surprised by the rainbows everywhere. Approach the 950-meter walkway circuit and observe around 275 different falls from the Iguaçu River. On the walkway, enjoy the view of the colossal Devil’s Throat, the cascade which holds the title of largest water flow. Following to a panoramic elevator, watch new angle of the falls. After going up, enjoy the Porto Canoas gastronomic center (meal not included) and the park’s souvenir shop.
