On the second part of our winter vacation trip we went from Puerto Iguazu to Presidencia Roque Saenz Peña, a town not exactly on the typical tourist’s path. We went there to enjoy hot springs. There are no pictures of us enjoying the hot springs. Instead, please enjoy these photos of the Jesuit mission we stopped by on the way. San Ignacio Miní, at one time, had 1000s of Guarani people living on its grounds. There were dozens of Jesuit missions in the region until Rome asked them politely to leave. There was an amazing movie called “The Mission,” with Jeremy Irons and Robert De
Niro, that tells the story of one of those missions. Anyway, the day we were there was very rainy, and we didn’t have much time at the ruins due to a long line to get in, and a tight time schedule to catch the next bus north.The inside of the church.
