On this full-day tour, we'll take you to discover the province's natural and cultural wonders, beginning with a stop at the Wanda gemstone mines. There, a passionate local guide awaits you to unravel the secrets of this deposit of quartz, amethysts, agates, and topaz, among other natural gems. We'll enter caves where you can see the stones in their purest form, and visit the mine workshop to learn about the extraction and craftsmanship processes. Our tour continues through a lush landscape, surrounded by yerba mate and tea plantations. After a break for lunch and relaxation in a natural setting, we'll continue to the impressive Jesuit Ruins of San Ignacio Miní.
