At the mines you’ll see samples of agate, quartz, rock crystal, amethyst and topaz and in the landscape you’ll  find extensive pine, mate and tea farms (which are all pillars of the regional economy). This attraction is located near the San Ignacio ruins, so you can arrange to see both of them during the same visit.
