An adventure in the Wanda Mines, just 40 km from the city of Puerto Iguazú, a trip along the majestic National Route No. 12 that takes us through the vibrant subtropical jungle, the imposing mountain ranges and the iconic red earth of Misiones. At Colônia Wanda, you'll discover a unique deposit of semi-precious stones: quartz crystals, amethysts, agates, and topaz, among other natural gems. Upon arrival, a local guide passionate about the area will welcome you and tell you about the fascinating discovery of these mines and their history. During the tour, you'll enter caves where you'll see the stones in their natural form, and visit the mine workshop to learn about the extraction and carving processes that transform them into works of art. To round off this experience, you can explore the salesroom and jewelry store, where you can admire impressive geodes and worked minerals, an opportunity to take home a little piece of this magical land as a souvenir.
