It is one of the early Jesuit missions in Argentina and Brazil that were collectively inscribed as World Heritage Sites in 1984.

Visiting Nuestra Señora de Santa Ana

Your base for visiting this World Heritage Site is Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. You should find your accommodation in Buenos Aires, and then get your hotel to help you make arrangements for visiting the sights in Argentina. I recommend that you base yourself in Buenos Aires rather than a smaller Argentine city, as you will have more options here. There will be plenty of tour packages to choose from, according to the amount of time you have in your hands.
