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'll first visit the Moxos Museum to learn about the province's folklore, followed by the Musical Archive, which contains unique objects, including scores from the 18th century.

Next, we will see San Ignacio Church, built by the Jesuits in the 17th century, noting its typical Jesuit architecture and the decorated interior featuring depictions from the Old and New Testaments.

After the church, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant before visiting the Cabildo Indigenal, responsible for the village's administration.

We'll also visit a luthier's workshop and see how wood is transformed into art. Our final stop will be at the School of Music, home to its own choir, orchestra, and the Moxos Ensemble.

At the end of the day, we'll return you to your hotel in the evening.

2-Day Tour

If you prefer a longer visit, 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 before spending the night at a local hotel.

The next morning, we'll have breakfast at the hotel and take a walk to Isireri Lagoon, where you'll hear about its mysterious legend and have free time for swimming. Afterward, we'll return to San Ignacio for lunch before heading back to Trinidad, where you'll be dropped off at your hotel in the afternoon.
