More Cultural History in the Department of San Ignacio

In the Department of San Ignacio, the Conjunto Jesuítico de Corpus Christi offers an interpretation center with a museum, as well as an interpretive trail through a forest landscape. Along the trail, visitors can explore the site’s history with specialized guides. Corpus Christi also has a historical connection to mate: the Conjunto Jesuítico Guaraní de Corpus Christi was known as a producer of yerba mate and had its own port and shipyard. It was founded in 1622. After several relocations within the same area, the Jesuit reduction reached its final site in 1701. This place in the Department of San Ignacio thus combines a present-day interpretation offering with the history of mate production, the port and the shipyard.
