In the Footsteps of Faith and History– Argentina / Paraguay & Brazil
 
  • San Ignacio Miní (Argentina) – UNESCO World Heritage Site – Walk through the remarkably preserved ruins of this 17th-century Jesuit mission, once a thriving community of Guaraní converts and missionaries. It’s the most iconic and visually striking of the Jesuit Reductions
  • Trinidad & Jesús de Tavarangué Missions (Paraguay) – These two expansive and atmospheric ruins in Paraguay offer a powerful glimpse into the architectural grandeur and utopian vision of the Jesuits in South America. Fewer visitors make this feel like a hidden sacred treasure
  • Jesuit Estancias of Córdoba (Argentina) – UNESCO World Heritage – A rare look at how Jesuits organized rural life and education beyond the missions. Includes visits to Santa Catalina and Jesús María, where faith, agriculture, and learning were harmoniously woven together
  • Jesuit Legacy of Pope Francis in Buenos Aires – Discover the early life and spiritual formation of Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis), including visits to Universidad del Salvador and the Metropolitan Cathedral where he presided as Archbishop
  • Iguazú Falls – Natural Wonder of the World – While not Jesuit in origin, this awe-inspiring natural spectacle was first documented by Jesuit explorer Buenaventura Suárez in the 17th century. Today, it serves as a spiritual and emotional crescendo to the journey
