About Ruinas Jesuíticas de Santa Ana

The Santa Ana mission settled here in the 17th century and became one of the most important in the region. Today its ruins, wilder than San Ignacio's, are surrounded by trees and roots: you can walk the staircase, the square and the cemetery almost alone.

It lies between Posadas and San Ignacio, a few kilometres off route 12, and is included in the combined missions ticket.
