Iguazú Falls
San Ignacio ruins & Wanda mines

The waterfalls, an UNESCO World Heritage site in the Argentine side, will make you gape with its perpetual thunder, the hoarse roar of a savage animal. Besides taking this tour package you will transit mountainous grounds, wavy and red roads, alternating between the side of the voluminous Paraná and through the green of the jungle. You also will see the San Ignacio Mini,  the most outstanding archeological historical resort of the Jesuitic Settlement Wanda Mines dedicated to the extraction of semiprecious stones.

1st  Day in Iguazú:
You will begin your tour to Iguazu falls taking off from Bs As airport. Once you land in Iguazu a tourist guide from 01argentina will be waiting for you with a sign with your last name to transfer you to your Hotel in Puerto Iguazu town.

Check in and free time for lunch. In the afternoon our English tourist guide will pick you up in your hotel in order to take you to the Brazilian side of the Iguazu falls. The Brazilian National Park was declared a World Natural Heritage for being a natural reserve of paramount importance in South America. The main attraction is the contact with the great deal of fauna that can be seen through the light that enters the green roof of the rainforest as well as the world famous Iguazu falls that form a circle of 2700m of width around the four falls.

Torrents of water, whose roar can be heard for miles, plunge some 250 feet down.  The panoramic view is unbeatable since the walkway circuit is directly in front of the waterfalls. In the evening, transfer to the hotel.

2nd Day in Iguazú:
After breakfast, you will leave for a full day excursion to San Ignacio Ruins and Wanda mines. The first stop is at the Wanda mines, a deposit of semiprecious stones which are formed below the hard surface basalt rock and they are magically transformed into jewels and decorative pieces.

There is also a store where you can buy sculpted stones and jewelry. Later, the excursion continues along route 12, passing by small towns and plantations of tea and “yerba mate”, typical economic activity of the region, until it arrives at the Ruins of San Ignacio “Miní” . This construction dates back to the 17th century, when the Jesuit missionaries settled in the region.

The guide will explain you the construction system, the life and customs of the Guaraní Indians, and how they were Christianized.

When the Jesuits were ejected, these constructions were almost completely destroyed; the ruins remained hidden in the jungle and were declared Mankind Heritage by UNESCO.
