## About

In the early 18th century the Nuestra Señora de Loreto reduction ran one of the first printing presses in the region. The ruins are covered by vegetation and are explored on trails through the forest.
It is part of the World Heritage missions, along with San Ignacio Miní and Santa Ana.

**Local tip:** Bring repellent: the vegetation is dense and there are mosquitoes almost all year.
