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 beginning our tour of this former Jesuit colony.

We will start with a visit to the Moxos Museum to learn about the province's folklore, followed by the Musical Archive, which houses unique objects including scores from the 18th century. Next, we will see San Ignacio Church, built by the Jesuits in the 17th century, where we will observe its Jesuit architecture and interior decorations depicting stories from the Old and New Testaments.

After visiting the church, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant and then head to the Cabildo Indigenal, responsible for the village's administrative management. We will also visit a luthier's workshop to see the craftsmanship involved in creating musical instruments, and conclude our tour at the School of Music, which has its own choir and orchestra, along with the Moxos Ensemble. After a day of exploration, we will return to your hotel in the evening.

The next morning, we'll have breakfast at the hotel and walk to Isireri Lagoon to discuss its mysterious legend, followed by free time for swimming. After lunch in San Ignacio, we'll head back to Trinidad and drop you off at your hotel in the afternoon.
