Ruinas de San Ignacio

Visiting the Ruins of San Ignacio in Argentina is an enriching experience that offers a time trip to the time of the Jesuit missions in the 17th century. In addition to representing a remarkable historical and architectural heritage, the ruins highlight the interaction between indigenous and European cultures. In a stunning natural setting, the ruins of San Ignacio also provide a unique connection between history and nature. The experience invites you to imagine the greatness of an era that is still recognized today. Each of the 30 Guarani Villas had its own identity and played a specific role in the complex network of Guarani Jesuit Missions. Recognised by UNESCO, these ruins attract visitors in search of a deep and meaningful understanding of colonial South America. The Guarani Jesuit Missions, or reductions, were built in the heart of the tropical forest, in the territories of the former Province of Paraguay.
