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 to San Ignacio de Moxos, a traditional town in southern Bolivia. After arrival, we'll stop for breakfast before touring this former Jesuit colony.

We'll begin with the Moxos Museum to learn about local folklore, followed by the Musical Archive, which houses unique 18th-century musical scores. Next, we'll visit San Ignacio Church, built by Jesuits in the 17th century, showcasing typical Jesuit architecture and interior paintings depicting stories from the Old and New Testaments.

After visiting the church, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant. Then we will proceed to see the Cabildo Indigenal for village administration, followed by a visit to a luthier's workshop to observe woodcrafting. Our final stop will be at the School of Music, home to a choir and orchestra, as well as the Moxos Ensemble. After a day of exploration, we'll return you to your hotel in the evening.

2-Day Tour

If one day is not sufficient, you can book the 2-day tour of San Ignacio de Moxos. You will visit the Turino handicraft centre after the initial activities. You'll learn about the making of traditional handicrafts and spend the night in a local hotel.

The next morning, we'll have breakfast at the hotel and walk to the Isireri Lagoon to learn about its mysterious legend. You'll have free time for swimming before we return to San Ignacio for lunch and head back to Trinidad, dropping you off at your hotel in the afternoon.
