San Ignacio de Moxos Day Trip

Discover one of the first Jesuit missions constructed in Bolivia on our day trip to San Ignacio de Moxos. You'll spend either 1 or 2 days exploring this town and visiting its attractions.

San Ignacio de Moxos Day Trip

At 6 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Trinidad and head towards San Ignacio de Moxos, a traditional town in southern Bolivia.

Upon arrival, we'll stop for breakfast before starting our tour of this former Jesuit colony.

We will first visit the Moxos Museum to learn about the province's folklore, followed by the Musical Archive, which houses unique items including scores of musical pieces from the 18th century.

Next, we will see San Ignacio Church, built by the Jesuits in the 17th century, and observe its typical Jesuit architectural features, including a wide atrium and interior decorations depicting stories from the Old and New Testaments.

After the church visit, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant and then proceed to the Cabildo Indigenal, responsible for the village's administration.

We will also visit a luthier's workshop to see how crafts are made, concluding with a stop at the School of Music, which features its own choir and orchestra, along with the Moxos Ensemble.

After a full day, we will return to your hotel in the evening.

2-Day Tour

If one day is not enough, you can book the 2-day tour of San Ignacio de Moxos. After the initial activities, you'll visit the Turino handicraft centre to learn about traditional handicrafts, followed by an overnight stay at a local hotel.

The next morning, we will have breakfast and take a walk to the Isireri Lagoon, where we will share its mysterious legend. You'll have some free time to swim before returning to San Ignacio for lunch and then departing for Trinidad. You will be dropped off at your hotel in the afternoon.
