A THOUGHTFUL EXPERIENCE - In addition to the discovery of these very beautiful ruins with such unusual colours, the story of the life of the Jesuits and their "Guaranì neighbours" makes us think of how over the centuries the so-called civilians wanted to bend the indigenous populations by imposing their standards of life. Here the Jesuits taught the Indians a lot but also learned a lot from their customs
