What you can expect

  • An adventure in the Wanda Mines, just 40 km from the city of Puerto IguazĂș, a tour along the majestic National Route N12 that takes us through the vibrant subtropical jungle, the imposing mountain ranges and the iconic red land of Misiones.
    In the Wanda Colony, you will discover a unique deposit of semi-precious stones: quartz crystals, amethysts, agates and topazes, among other jewels of nature. Upon arrival, a local guide passionate about the place will welcome you to tell you about the fascinating discovery of these mines and their history. During the tour, you will enter caves where you will see the stones in their natural form, and you will visit the mine workshop to learn about the extraction and carving processes that transform them into works of art.
    To close this experience, you can explore the sales room and jewellery store, where you will admire impressive geodes and worked minerals, an opportunity to take a little piece of this magical land as a souvenir.
