Day 1: San Ignacio Ruins

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.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
