We hired a driver to take us from Puerto Iguazú to Posadas and made a brief stop at Wanda for a short, uninspiring tour. Perhaps most striking were the village's crumbling infrastructure and “African” standard of living despite the income generated from the mines.

I've never seen crystals in their natural form embedded in the rock like that, so I enjoyed the experience very much. I seriously doubt the shafts they showed us are still active though, so it's a bit misleading, but it doesn't matter, I still enjoyed seeing it. I didn't like the hard sell in the shop afterwards at all and... More

Very interesting, would have liked better infrastructure...

nature , visit all all arround nort of Argentina is great.

This is a very small mine with only 10 miners, that work on a sustainable idea of mining. Is not surviving thought, they have reasonably good work to show. Due to the taxing system in place in Argentina, they do not go deeper to get diamonds and other stones, so they stay close to the surface. They even blow the... More
