San Ignacio Mission | Tourist Attraction

February 6th, 2024 by Life.With.Glee

I was directed to park my Moto then told it would be 3000pesos. ($3). It would have been nice to have been told first, but then I felt OK to leave my gear on the bike instead of dragging it around the ruins. If I was in a car I would park a block or two south of the ruins since they direct you to the exit the opposite end to the entrance which forces you to walk around the perimeter of the site instead of enjoying another scenic stroll back through the ruins.

Very interesting and very large ruins. We visited during the day and returned that evening for the light show. The show was superb and we highly recommend. Don't let the fact it is in Spanish deter you between goggle translate and images projected it was easy to follow the story.

We did the image and sound show in the evening - it's an additional Arg$1,000/person. We liked it very much.
The next morning we were able to visit the mission during the day with the ticket we bought in Santa Maria. Very nice!

Beautiful place and definitely worth a short visit. Really kind staff. Dogs are allowed inside (exception: not in the museum).

Parking cost $300 pesos. Be aware that the parking guy will charge the right price. In our case the guy wrote a 1 in front of the 300 so we payed 1300 in the first place. After we showed the staff they made sure we got the 1000 back.

We visited here and did the evening light show. The show starts at 730 and was ready good even though we do not understand Spanish. Lots of kids was there and enjoyed it too.

We loved this place too. 570 pesos per person for entry to this and other missions over a 15-day period. You will definitely get good value for your money. The angled parking at the NW side of the mission is well worth 300 pesos as the attendant will watch your vehicle. We actually left a door wide open on our truck (we were a little distracted) and the attendant immediately came into the mission to tell us. That could have been a disaster as we were in the mission for well over an hour. Many of the displays have English descriptions. We did not think a guide was worthwhile as none spoke English

the place is awesome. definitely worth the visit.
but we felt we had to pay to park. I didn't like the vibe at all outside of the missions. it's a very small price for peace of mind

The place is really big and the ruins are well preserved. We were there on a rainy day, which had a mystical touch to the place.
Little museum at the entrance that explains (in Spanish and English) the Jesuites history.
350 AR pp for 4 sites valid for 15 days.
(The parking is supposed to be free but you pretty much have to tip a guy to check on your vehicle)
BTW stop complaining about foreigner price swhen you have $/€/CHF on your bank account...it's really disrespectful!

Jeesh....350pesos already for foreigners! 330p for South Americans. Argentinians pay 260p, but they also pay taxes that help these places. 150pesos to park on street for Transit/Sprinter. Tours in Spanish only, but were very informative. Interesting ruins...just not sure if it was worth it.

I am so sorry that whole Argentina discriminat foreigners. Here we have to pay 270 arg. Peso instead of 100 for the Argentinas.

on the other side most of the museum is not written in English.

What are they doing with our money?

It wood be ok, if rich Argentinas also have to paid the same as foreigners.

Although we are residents and our kids students in Argentina we had to pay the extranjero-price of 230 ARS per person (even kids) in CASH!
In every Nacional Parc in Argentina that we visited during the last years we always paid the resident- and national students price!
Site is well kept an especially though!

Here every evening except when raining, they have a good sound/light show around the ruins. NOT your typical flashing pretty lights and jean-michel jarre music 😃, but a clever and interesting projection into moving smoke-screens all around the ruins, which tells the story of the missions. it's told in Spanish but there are head-sets for English, French and German. Bit pricey at $180 for foreigners (cheaper for kids), but it's an unusual event and very well done.
