061006 - San Ignacio, ARG

After Rocio left on Thursday, I spend the day hanging around the hostal as it was pouring cats and dogs. Finally, on Friday morning, I checked-out and was on my way to San Ignacio. It is one of more than 30 Jesuit reductions located in the region of Misiones, ARG, Paraguay and Brazil. According to different soures, San Ignacio Miní is probably the best-restored and most well-preserved of the misions. Many buildings have been restored and gice a good idea of the former layout, even though all buildings are roofless. Most impressive is by far the big church which still holds significant portions of the carved stone decoration.
