Day 1: San Ignacio Ruins

Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, these ruins depict the history of the first Spanish that settled here. Explore the central plaza, the church, the mission house, workshops, town hall, and the hospital. The buildings were constructed using local red sandstone. The settlement is said to house anywhere from 3000-6000 people in its prime. When the Jesuit missionaries, the indigenous people were forced to camps surrounding the main village. Your guide takes you through the ruins and explains the great history of these people.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Jane was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive and knowledgeable. She took time to understand what my priorities were, and to answer all my queries and make adjustments to create a bespoke tour for me. We worked together to plan out a trip which I am so excited about! I usually travel independently and make my all own travel arrangements but I am so happy with the travel plans I have made with Jane for my South America trip, as this time I will be travelling solo and I have never travelled in the region before. 5 stars and much gratitude!
