San Ignacio de Moxos Day Trip

San Ignacio de Moxos Day Trip

At 6 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Trinidad and head towards San Ignacio de Moxos, a traditional town in southern Bolivia. 

As soon as we get there, we'll stop for breakfast before beginning our tour of this former Jesuit colony.

To begin, we'll visit the Moxos Museum to learn about this province's folklore. We'll then continue to the Musical Archive, an important institution that houses unique objects such as scores of musical pieces from the 18th century.

Next, we'll see San Ignacio Church. This church was built by the Jesuits upon their arrival in the area in the 17th century. We'll take note of the typical Jesuit architecture of this reduction, such as its wide atrium surrounded by columns. We'll also admire the church's interior, which has been decorated with canvases that depict stories from the Old and New Testaments.

After visiting the church, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant. Once we've had something to eat, we'll head to the Cabildo Indigenal, which is the body in charge of the village's administrative management. 

We'll then visit a luthier's workshop and see how a craftsman transforms wood into true works of art. The final stop on our schedule will be at the School of Music, which has its own choir and orchestra, and the Moxos Ensemble.

Having spent the day exploring this charming town, we'll return to your hotel and drop you off at your hotel in the evening.

2-Day Tour

If you don't think a day is enough for you, you can book the 2-day tour of San Ignacio de Moxos. In this case, you'll visit the Turino handicraft centre after the activities mentioned in the previous section. You'll learn how traditional handicrafts are made before spending the night at one of the town's hotels. 

The next morning, we'll have breakfast at the hotel and go for a walk to the Isireri Lagoon, where we will tell you about the mysterious legend it conceals... You'll then have some free time to take a swim before we return to San Ignacio. We'll have lunch here and then set off on our way back to Trinidad. You'll be dropped off at your hotel in the afternoon.
