Wanda Mines and Mission Tour
Loved the whole experience! The Wanda Mines were extremely interesting since we already had several amethysts. Nice to see where they may have come from. The ride the Mission was longer than expected but still very interesting. At the ruins we stumbled upon an English-speaking guide and had him all to ourselves, since we were the only English speakers on the tour. he was very informative. On the way home we stopped at a Mate outlet. There was a presentation and the facility gave out samples of their Mate and snacks. The whole experience was well worth it!

Long day but worth it!
The Mines and Ruins were amazing. I met some great people. IT'S a long day so be ready for that. Bring water and sna ks. Driver does not speak english, and i was told he did. Guides at sites spoke english so it worked out

History, Culture, and Great Service!
I loved learning about the San Ignacio Mini Ruins. Our tour guide (from the museum), Tomas, was VERY knowledgeable. I also thoroughly enjoyed our driver/tour guide, Miguel. He is also incredibly informed and knowledgeable about local culture, history, customs, and things to do! I also enjoyed the stops at Wanda Mines and one of the Mate factories. Totally recommended! (If interested in Guarani culture and history, stay in San Ignacio and do the night show at the main ruins and go see the three other ruin sites. We were unable to do so because of the limited 12-hour tour time.) P.S. make sure to bring a good book! It is a long ride!

Started Rough, Ended Beautiful
So, I was forgotten twice. HOWEVER, the company did a great job at sending someone to make me feel excited about the tour. They sent a man named Nicholas, whom I hesitated about since I was a solo 20-year-old girl. Nicholas was absolutely wonderful! He truly made my trip so wonderful and showed me so much kindness, despite me being nervous and upset about the initial chaos. Once reconnected with the group, everything went smoothly. Juan, the tour guide, was very kind and made sure that I understood what was going on, since my native language is English and everything was in Spanish. Despite being alone, young, and a woman in a foreign country, I felt comfortable and cared for by the tour guides, the company, and Nicholas, who retrieved me after being forgotten. I would absolutely go on this tour again.
