San Ignacio is about an hours bus ride from Posadas. The long distance buses are very good, they are large double decker sleeper buses with air con and a tv. The Jesuit Guarnai Missions ruins were quite small and we were there in the heat of the day, which was very tiring. 30 settlements of Guarani Indians make up the Jesuit Missions throughout South America. We then caught a taxi to Club Del Rio, which is by the river just outside San Ignacio. Five of us crammed into an old beat up taxi, which then went down a very long, bumpy dirt road... we all knew each other alot better after that...
Club Del Rio is a large swimming pool complex with a bar and restaurant. It was great to cool off in the pool, the most enjoyable part of the day for me... The same taxi surprising turned up to collect us at 6.30pm to take us back to San Ignacio in time to see the Sound and Light show at the ruins. The show uses cutting edge technology, virtual actors, multimedia effects and images displayed on screens made up of water mists. I didn´t really enjoy the show, I think my expectations were too high, but everyone else did. We caught a bus home about 10.30pm, instead of stopping over as planned, as we had done everything there was to do in San Ignacio, it´s such a small place...
