## About

In Wanda, between Puerto Iguazú and Eldorado, the red soil hides geodes of amethyst, quartz and agate. The mines are visited on guided tours that explain how the stones form and are extracted.
It is a classic stop on route 12 for anyone travelling between Posadas and the falls, and it works very well with kids.

**Local tip:** It is on route 12: stop on the drive between Posadas and Puerto Iguazú.
