## About

Uruguayan writer Horacio Quiroga, author of "South American Jungle Tales" and "Stories of Love, Madness and Death", lived in San Ignacio in the early 20th century. The house museum preserves his home, personal belongings and the forest setting that inspired his work.
It is a few kilometres from the ruins of San Ignacio Miní, so they are easy to combine on the same day.

**Local tip:** Combine it with the ruins in the morning and Teyú Cuaré in the afternoon.
