What our travelers think about their stay

San Igancio contains the ruins of a Jesuit mission. The site is located in Misiones Province and lies one hour by road from the city of Posadas.

My suggestion

San Ignacio lies on the road that goes to Iguazu Falls; so try to choose one of the buses or tour operators that make a stop at this site on the way to the falls. It only takes two or three hours to visit and explore the ruins.

South of Puerto Iguazu in the North East region, San Ignacio is a charming village plunged in tropical torpor which is a very typical place to stay and explore the surrounding countryside, if you have the time.

My suggestion

You can rent bikes and canoes at the local tourist office if you want to explore the region, which has the advantage of being less touristy than Puerto Iguazu.
