The Ruinas de San Ignacio are also a declared UNESCO site. They are located at San Ignacio which is about a five hour drive in the collectivo from Iguazu along the road to Posadas, going along the border with Paraguay. It is a very small town, probably quite alot of poverty but they have the wonderfully well preserved ruins there. The photos show the mission at night, me sitting in one of the rooms and the main street down to the ruins with the street vendors all along the footpath. We stayed the night there and next morning caught a bus to Posadas. I sat next to a very lovely local lady named Marta who happily chattered away to me in Castellano for the journey - very encouraging because I could understand and speak with her with little bother.
